I am going to buy some books!!!!!

emplynx · 01-27-2002, 10:52 PM

It is my birthday

and I got $45 bucks in Books a Million gift cards! and I got some money from my grandparents... So I am going to go to Books a Million next Saturday1 and buy a bunch of books!
Here is what I am considering:
The JRR Tolkien Biography
A Einstein or Alexander the Great bio
The History of the Lord of the Rings books (If they have them.)
The Visual Guide to Lockpicking
Ancient Engineer
Suggestions? Comments? Rude remarks?

I already have piles of books to read, now I will have more. I need a vacation. I want to see mountains Gandalf, Mountains!

1 It is a 1 hour drive to get there. A friend (who shares my birthday) and I are going to go to the Japanese Steak House and Books a Million if I get my drivers license tomorrow.

FrodoFriend · 01-28-2002, 01:08 AM

Happy Birthday!!! Oooh, History of Middle Earth! Buy them and then tell me EVERYTHING!

emplynx · 01-29-2002, 06:22 PM

No one comes to this forum.

CardenIAntauraNauco · 01-29-2002, 07:52 PM

The only reason nobody posts is that they don't want to post in a forum where nobody post.

Books sound good- I can't think of any rude comments. You'll have to insult Harry Potter and wait till HOBBIT comes for those.

Renille · 01-30-2002, 12:14 AM

I like Harry Potter!

But right now, I have to finish Unfinished Tales. ( heehee...I love saying that...) Then on to History of Middle Earth! Yes!!!

Anyway...wow, emplynx, that was a cool birthday present to get with a driver's liscence. You can use it whenever you want to! (Unlike certain poor, parent-dependable people.)

I know the dependant feeling, trust me. All I wanted for my birthday was my drivers license, and I got it!

Starr Polish · 01-30-2002, 10:28 PM

Booooooooooks!!!!!

Sorry

Man, I want a driver's liscense. We have a really nice Barnes and Noble 'in the city' and I could literally live there. It has everything I need!

emplynx · 01-30-2002, 10:45 PM

Lucky you. I have to travel an hour...

Imladris · 04-20-2002, 02:55 PM

I like this forum-may I reccomend, non fantasy/sci-fi wise that you dig into some crime novels. Best start with A.C. Doyle and Agatha Christie.
BRILLIANT BOOKS!

P.S. I wish 45 bucks to spend on bucks. But I can't, I live in England I use pounds instead.
If anyone, other than Bilbo, likes the double joke then start becoming very frightened.

Hey!!! I come to this forum all the time!! *pouts in the corner*

Grey_Wolf · 04-20-2002, 04:31 PM

Try P D James (I have all of her books). They're excellent.

Dale Brown if you like Techno-thrillers and Clive Cussler if you're into Adventure-thrillers.

David Brin, A C Clarke, Harry Turtledove, Kim Robinson if your preference is Sci fi.

Tolkien, Brooks and Jordan for Fantasy.

Arthur Hailey for what I refer to as Power novels.

and that's about it.

Jadera · 04-20-2002, 05:26 PM

*is zoned thinking about what she'd do with $45 to spend on books*

Oh, yes.
It all sounds good to me.

If you're into mysteries, Rex Stout and Laurie R. King are good authors. Grisham is a good author too. But buy what makes you happy, and that's what counts!

Happy Birthday! And congrats on your license! *is still waiting for a permit*

**crickhollow** · 04-21-2002, 11:24 PM

I'm not going to recommend any, b/c (as you can see if you look at the date) that it has been several months since your b-day. Are you going to tell us what you got w/ your $45 dollars, emplynx?

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-13-2002, 05:51 AM

American Gods! Get American Gods! *looks at Crickhollow's post* nevermind then. .. you probably wouldn't like it anyway...*sniff*

Goes around telling every mooter around to read American Gods.

The best Tolkien analysis, if you can find it, is Tom Shippey's Author of the Century.
