:lol: Ah, it's okay, I just like to talk.

And Dragonlance... I forgot about those... I think I have most of the "main" books of that... (there are like a hundred side books). I have all the Chronicles, Legends, and uh... whatever this new one is called (Mina is the main character... with the minotaur dude with one arm following her around... at least I think her name was Mina). It's been a while since I've read them though. They aren't my favorites, but they were pretty good when I first started reading fiction. Although... when I was reading that first one with Mina... so many grammar (and even spelling!!!) errors in there... ugh.

Oh, and the Eragon series... lol. So utterly cliched, but it's fun to read.

Oddly enough...Harry Potter. Something about Rowling's writing style is just hard to put down... I guess that's why it's been such a success...

I've also read the LoTR series, but his writing style is a bit obtuse, but great stories....just the language he uses is a bit distracting.

I too have read almost all of the SW books, and they always suck me in...and yep, the Dragonriders of Pern series (is what I'm reading right now on my lunch breaks in fact...)

The Drizzt series of D&D books...still have to get around to Dragonlance though....

Others include Koontz and King, two of my all time favorite writers, and there can't be much of theirs out there that I haven't read yet.

There is one series, Crimson City, by different authors, that is set in a future LA, with werewolves, vampires, etc. that is pretty good (although borderline romance novel-style...)
Evighedens Port

Mandators Kappe

Ondskabens Dimension

Gezundheit? :?: :D

EDIT: How did I forget Dan Brown? The DaVinci Code and Deception Point were amazing...

Forgot about them... They're really well written and it's quite funny to read waht was supposedly said from 2 different viewpoints.

The Republic Commando series, the Legacy of the Force series (both Star Wars series), and Richard Matheson's books (He's the one who wrote I am Legend, What Dreams May Come, Duel, and several Twilight Zone episodes, including Nightmare at 20,000 Feet).

I like The Saint series...Or I think that is what it's called...It's by the same guy who wrote Red White and Black...

What the... ?! :shock: How the heck did I not know about that?! At least the series is going to be finished according to this but man, I had no idea. It's a shame, he really had a way of pulling you into his characters.

Yep, I read every single one of his books, loved them all . . . I was wondering when he would end it, but his death really suprised me . . .

Pratchett's Discworld series is the only fiction worth reading.

I'm holding an English translation of Dante Alighieri's chipper little trilogy of Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso.

(Of course, the reason I'm holding this copy of The Divine Comedy is so I can spell his name correctly...)
Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.

Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.

Hmm, I've wanted to read those but I haven't been able to get around to actually getting a hold of them... not quite enough time to go shopping except for groceries lately.

I've so far read through Inferno and about 3/4 through Purgatory. It's pretty good.

Waughin Jarth's books are good. I liked the The Wolf Queen series, as well as A Dance in Fire.
