LOL, yes, I do let him have a shelf or two.

Really, there are more of his, but of course I was just giving the highlights. We have way too many books, mainly a result of not being able to resist going to (and then of course buying from) used book sales at the local libraries.

How can you pass up such a great deal as 50 cents a book? Of course I forgot to mention that we also have three shelves plus full of children's (picture) books (Suess and the like). I have a Golden Book from the 40s, and a picture book from the thirties called Cinder (about a lost cat), as well as some ABC books from the 1800s. I love old children's books.

Earniel -- thanks for the translation, it bugged me that I didn't know what it meant. What does the "Hey" at the beginning mean?

Frankly, that has been puzzling me. It's either 'hey' as in 'Hey, look at these beautiful tales' or some word of which the German meaning completely escapes me.

You may want to ask Lalaith who speaks German or ask it on the official language thread.

It was quite good. No, not really a fan (just minor collector).
Not thinking much of the pre-Star Wars novels I concentrated my collecting to post-SW ones.

The Han Solo trilogy was ok but nothing much to shout about, was a bit cheesy too when he goes to Alderaan and sees Leia on the screen as a little girl. What's your favourite- I think there's a lot to be said about Crystal Star, that was one of the best for me.

(SW-novel list is listed according to the timeline the NJO-novels)Having only read as far as Darksaber, my favourites so far is the Thrawn-trilogy. (I'm taking a break from SW-reading for a while. Being halfway in my collection now and reading the novels according to the timeline.)

hectorberlioz · 03-06-2004, 12:33 AM

i have had the pleasure of adding, to my beautiful collection....

the idiot
ben hur
don quixote
red badge of courage
around the wrld in eighty days

hectorberlioz · 03-06-2004, 12:38 AM

i wasnt too impressed with "the courtship of p. leia". the best for me was the jedi acdemy trilogy and of course the thrawn omnibus.
rest of the novels were between "ok" and "bad". except maybe the crystal star, that was pretty good.
the ones i hated the most were
truce at bakura
children of the jedi (yes, because of callista, what a moron she is. i cant beleive luke liked her. what a dork. lol).
courtship of princess leia
all the new jedi order novels

Mercutio · 03-10-2004, 07:36 PM

What books do I have? In our entire house there are a few thousand...really...hmm... I could more easily list books of specific genres. My dad has a phD in philosophy, that explains a good many of the books.

Hectorberlioz--you mentioned you have Notes from Underground. Is it good? Have you read it? It is sitting somewhere in our house.

hectorberlioz · 03-11-2004, 03:27 AM

I havent read it yet.
but then, what written by Dostoyevsky is not good?

everything of his is great as far as I'm concerned. that goes for Dickens as well.

Argh! I cant beleive my stupidity! I had this chance to get Dosty's "the eternal husband" at hastings, which is the only place I'v ever seen it at (and I'm too lazt right now to order from amazon.com...), but now its gone! its been bought.

Mercutio · 03-11-2004, 07:51 AM

so sad when you lose a book, its like losing....um...hmm....i'll get back to you on this one.

In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.' 'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh.
