LOL!
DBF and I are trading series - he's on WaG right now, and in return I have to read the first 3 books of The Belgariad, by David Eddings. Anyone read this? I want to know what I'm in for.

Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)

I'm currently reading a new David Icke book I bought and I'm also reading the original version of The Stand, I've read the 1990 version many times and wanted to compare them. The copy of the original was autographed by King
Yes. I read the original a great many times both before and after the revised/uncut was published. Bot once I got a copy of the revised I've used that fro my re-reads ever since.
A King signed copy eh? Nice to have.
Same here, I though it was very good. Specially the first half.Don't listen to them.

Reading the final pages of Evil Inheritance now, considering trying Emperor - gates of Rome next.
or "The Girl who played with fire", but Stieg Larsson.
Some are born to sweet delight,
some are born to the endless night.
I agree. That book has one of the best beginnings. It just sucks you right in.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
I still liked the film adaptation of "Night Watch," even though I'm usually not into sci-fi.
I'm planning on reading the novels sometime this coming year.
oh jean why are you reading that evil piece of filth. it's not even a book, it's an abomination. it's the only book i ever knowingly, willingly destroyed in my life.
put it down, walk away, and pick up something else. trust me.
Just started Emperor - The Gates of Rome by Conn Iggulden.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. - Edgar Allan Poe

Don't listen to them, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I don't know why it gets so much hate.Yeah it is. And i am enjoying it. Although alot of people I know didnt really care for it.Is this your first read thru, and how are you liking it?
How far in are you?

I thought it was awful myself, but I'm glad you are liking it William. Different people like different things. As long as you enjoy it, it's worth your time.
I'm starting Insomnia today!

Insomnia is a REALLY great read. Hope you enjoy it.
I tried that series a while back. Read the first book and didn't think a lot of it, then struggled half way thru the 2nd & left it there. Having said that I know others here on the site who love it. It takes all kinds (even THAT kind!
I finished Brisingr last night. Not too bad really , & well worth the read. I was disapointed a bit with the quality of some of the writing (childish) and the poor editing in places.
Started a re-read of Little Sisters of Eluria (thankee Letti fro the inspiration). Only a few pages in yet.
Something Wicked This Way Comes
Yes. I read the original a great many times both before and after the revised/uncut was published. Bot once I got a copy of the revised I've used that fro my re-reads ever since.

a king signed copy? and you're reading it? I hope you're wearing kidskin gloves and tweezers!
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
i'm looking for something great to read. I'm done rereading all my grisham, all my crichton, all my king, all my tolstoy, my wouk, and i'm just not inspired. I mean, who out there can compare to these greats?
Maybe i'll do a Clive Cussler reread. He's not that great, but he's enjoyable.
