I ordered three books from a series called Philosophy and Popular Culture. They were recommended by inked and I can't wait for them to arrive. They're:
The Lord of the Rings and Philosophy: One Book to Rule Them All
Harry Potter and Philosophy: If Aristotle Ran Hogwarts
The Simpsons and Philosophy: The D'oh! of Homer

If you like books about Ireland's history, I highly recomment "The Princes of Ireland" by Edward Rutherford. He is the genius that wrote the acclaimed "Sarum" (and it's brilliant) as well as "London" (haven't read, but apparently it's not as good as Sarum), as well as several other epic historical-fiction (emphasis on historical). There's one of Russia, and I think one or two more.

I actually have Sarum, London and The Forest, but I've only read the first two. So that means I simply have to get that one, too. (there is a mighty collector-spirit in me since I'm a "crayfish", you see).

Lenya · 12-10-2004, 04:34 PM

My books came! and they are worth every penny

Grey_Wolf · 01-01-2005, 08:50 AM

Stephen King's The Dark Tower V: The Wolves of Cavalla and Tom Clancy's Armoured Cav: A Guided Tour of An Armoured Cavalry Brigade.

Grey_Wolf · 01-06-2005, 08:21 AM

In February I'll get Bernard Cornwell's Warlord Chronicles Trilogy.

Thus adding to my Arthur-collection which already consists of:
Stephen R Lawhead's Quintology, A A Attanio's Quartet, Mary Stewart's Trilogy, Roger Lancelyn Green's K.A.A.H.K.O.T.R.T.

Are the Dark Tower books worth it? I am considdering to read them but I don't know how it is.

Pytt · 01-17-2005, 06:34 PM

a friend of my is reading them, if he isn't finished. he thinks they are really great. he said I should read them, but I have so much else to read. he even thinks they are better than LoTR, so I don't quite know if he is trustwhorty...

Embladyne · 01-17-2005, 07:03 PM

I'm waiting for the 17th book of a manga series called 20th Century Boys. It's pretty awesome in the way that it talks about the importance of music to the main character, and that the world population in is danger of destruction no less than three times in the space of about 15 years. Sadly, I've only found it in japanese right now, and have to read scanlations, 'cause I can only read English or Chinese translations.

The last time I looked for it at my favorite book store, they didn't have it, either.

Oh, and I'm waiting for Hanakimi to be finished so the manga-ka can start a new series...I'm so excited!

I think so. The major reason being that I've waited for the books for so long a time. I'll get parts six and seven soon too. And then It'll be finally complete.

No, I don't think you should believe him, his proirities is obviously in the wrong place.
