I am on the 3rd Spud book - Learning to Fly. Must admit they are not epic but very enjoyable none the less

Good for you MT :thumbup:

Just got mail from kalahari that the book I've been waiting for is available just at the time where I have 0 free time :sigh:

Wahahaha... my mom and sister bought me a series of books which I desperately want to read but they did it just when I finished the first book in a series of about 9 books. I am not one to ditch the series I am busy with so I will probably only get to it in April... or there about.

As long as you only read the first book in the Dune series you are excused. The other 3 books in the Dune series is just a waste.

Ye reading about the mental conditioning of a woman trapped in the body of a 9 year old is nothing new to our imaginations. I actually pity Claudia.... Must be hell on earth.

Well Tribbs dearest... my reading has slowed down considerably since I have all kinds of other activities starting up at the moment. But it only means that the little time I do get to read I can enjoy that much more. Been busy with this one book for almost a month already because I just don't get the time to sit down and finish it. I only have about 20% of the book to go which is not that much to be honest.

Oh, Lady Tribble! The Silmarillion is a book of such beauty that you can't help but weep in both sorrow and joy as you read it for the 22nd time. The language is like music, it just takes a little getting used to.

I'm still stuck on the awesomeness that is Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen. I'm on book 3 now and the man's epic and then some.

Yay someone who enjoys Malazan actually want to read the last book but its a bit hectic at the moment :?
Ah and those Necromancers in 3 are rather interesting in a messed up way if you like them try getting the novels about them or the omnibus of the first 3 books about them

Now that I think about it Tribble might actually enjoy The Healthy Dead book :lol:

Then I shall pick it up and try again. I am older now - perhaps that will help.

@Captain - I like the sound of that. Do tell me more

Steven King's The Dark Tower was like that. Sometimes the reading makes you feel like you need a degree for it, but the story is very much worth it.
