'Oh man... I'm not sure but for some reason I think I have that book too. I would have to go to the storage and dig that box up to be sure. I do remember that it was just a Frog & Toad series, those were their names and thats what they were. There were a lot of books on the two characters and I'm not sure how many I actually have now that I think about it.
If anything I am an avid reader, too much misconception on what I do for fun around here. Currently I'm reading three different books. The first book from 'The Spiderwick Series of Unfortunate events' (a friend of mine is a school teacher so he had me read it) the other im re-reading 'Homeland: Dark elf Trilogy' (Yep, good ol Drizzt) and the third is on meditation and such (religious stuff for me).
Haha ok, here I'm writing you a friggin book Kenton. I have to go, meeting up my brother and family at some resturant. Yay family night... gonk ah well, its not as bad as I make it sound I guess. In any case, give me a msg if your totally bored, I only have MSN sorry (everyone in the world has AIM). Off, talk to ya later.'

I like Rincewind, Death, and Carrot. sweatdrop Let's see... I have most of the books, but only had time to read a few so far... And I managed to find both Discworld games for the PS1, and the PC version of the first game.

'Yeah I'm not too surprised, I was kinda old school back when I was young and now it seems people barely a year younger than me are from a different world. Still the books I mentioned are from really old series, except the first one. That one is a childs book, I read it just to see whats new in the young generation. Homeland is book by R.A. Salvatore. Huge fan of his work, homeland came out in the late 80's if I remember. Exile was the first novel I read and I only five.
As for Discworld, never heard of it, what is it? Oh by the way, good to see you back Swordmaiden.'

Hmm.... W...wait... You've... never heard of Discworld? gonk *clears throat*Terry Pratchett "In a distant and second-hand set of dimensions, in an astral plane that was never meant to fly, the curling star-mists waver and part... See... Great A'Tuin the turtle comes, swimming slowly through the interstellar gulf, hydrogen frost on his ponderous limbs, his huge and ancient shell pocked with metero craters. Through sea-sized eyes that are crusted with rheum and asteroid dust, He stares fixedly at the Destination. In a brain bigger than a city, with geological slowness, He thinks only of the Weight. Most of the weight is of course accounted for by Berilia, Tubul, Great T'Phon, and Jerakeen, the four giant elephants upon whose broad and startanned shoulders the disc of the World rests, garlanded by the long waterfall at its vast circumference and domed by the baby-blue vault of Heaven."

'Haha, yeah? That whole bit there sounded really cool, something I could read before going to bed for sure. Crazy dreams of behemoth turtels carrying elephants. I'll prolly look for it at Barns & Noble in a few days when I'm done reading what I have now.'

Oops... I forgot to tell you... Discworld is the name of the series, since there are over 25 books in all... sweatdrop Gomen... But get the first two books, The Color of Magic and The Light Fantastic. Those two books are the only ones that take place directly after each other... They should be in the science fiction/fantasy section, and are written by Terry Pratchett.
