I am reading The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks. I just finished the prequel The First King of Shannara. I am completely addicted to this series, and am excited that I have just discovered them. In fact, I think I have spent enough time online today! Time to go read!!!

I just recently finished Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrel , which I enjoyed. Anyone else read it? It's very different. I can see why a lot of people mention Austin when speaking of it. And I say that as a good thing.  |

I'm almost done with Wizard's First Rule of the Sword of Truth series. A handwritten sign in the bookstore said I was srsly a noob if I hadn't read it yet, so I did... And now that I've gotten started on the fantasy novels I won't be emerging from my bedroom anytime soon

Go Katya! I finished the series in a month. It gets a little drab in the middle, but otherwise quite ok.

A month eh? Goodness! How many books are there again? I'm gonna get right back into it as soon as I finish these blasted Harry Potters (I started on them the week before the last one came out- almost done with 5 now). I've heard the second Sword of Truth was lame but then it got better. I guess I won't know until i read it!

Just finished Michael Moorcock's old book, "The Ice Schooner". Fairly depressing, even the end, but still a good read.
Not sure what to pick up next, must be getting jaded with the ages, fading like the elves with the passing of the years...

A moral of the whole (after the primary symbolism of the Ring, as the will to mere power, seeking to make itself objective by physical force and mechanism, and so also inevitably by lies) is the obvious one that without the high and noble the simple and vulgar is utterly mean; and without the simple and ordinary the noble and heroic is meaningless."

Finished Anita Blake- Incubus Dreams by Laurell K. Hamilton.
I like the book, but it's getting a bit confusing with new powers and players appearing while I was still digesting the previous new powers and players. Also, my favorite character didn't make an appearance. In fact, his name was only mentioned 4 times... Still, I liked the book.

Right now I'm reading an enthralling non fiction, but that's not what i want to talk about.
Has anyone read Lian Hearn's tales of the Otori (Across the Nightingale floor, Grass for his Pillow, Brilliance of the Moon)? Or Roger Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber? (Starting with Nine Princes in Amber) Both are so amazing. some of my favorites, and I've read a lot |

I've read Roger Zelazny's chronicles of amber series. They're very good.
 I'm reading Garth Nix's Keys to the Kingdom series. I'm enjoying it, but it's not as good as the Old Kingdom trilogy.

Have any of you read Edgar Rice Burroughs? He's most famous for Tarzan, but I find his Mars (Barsoom) series to be extremely entertaining.
There are 11 books in all.Interestingly, there is a cratar on Mars named after him.
