Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well You would be hard pressed to find me not in the middle of a good book, but on those rere occasions it actually happens I am in trubble, because I hate not having anything to read. as of right now I am reading "Horus Rising" the first book in the Horus Heresy series. for those who know anything about Warhammer 40K, I need not say more. For those who don't, I will give the discription it gives on the back of the book.

"It is the 31st milennium. Under the benevolent leadership of the immortal Emperor the Imperium of Man has stretched out across the galaxy. It is a golden age of discovery and conquest.

But now on the eve of victory, the Emperor leaves the front lines, entrusting the great crusade to his favorite son, horus. Promoted to Warmaster, can the idealistic Horus carry out the Emperor's grand plan, or will his promotion sow the seads of heresy amongst his brothers?"

You defiantly were book worm by my standards, even if it was a phase in a sense.

I think life and school just got in your way. ^_^

You know it's thanks to you that I even read at all. laughs*
Well I mean I used to love to when I was little and then I just stoped for years.
It's thanks to you trying to push different books on me that I actually read a book every once and a while.

Don't make me start ragging on Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Hehe Just kidding I actually posted that See Spot Run spot on the poll in homage.

Seriously I almost had to click there myself I mean jeeze I like so Many childrens books its insane and I've been collecting a few and hidding them away for when the boys get older. In fact I need to find See Spot Runs for the collection! Anybody who's seen a copy of Teacher from the Black Lagoon anywhere pm me! I can't find that lovely little book either.

I have recently finished "Thud!", a book by Terry Pratchet. Giving away details or main charactors will ruin the book, and or the rest of the Pratchet books for people, they should be read not for the story but for the unique humor that Terry Pratchet invokes.

I'm reading the Elminster books by Ed Greenwood.

Right now I'm on ... *dramatic pause* ... The Temptation of Elminster. Before anyone asks; I have no idea what he's tempted by (it can't be the girl on the cover because she dresses badly). They are good books though! He pulls off the magic-wielding super-powerful mage thing without it being boring or overblown. biggrin

My fav Fantasy books are...

I totally agree on the checking out of Terry Pratchett and his Disc World Books the first of which is the
Color of Magic I think?

Actually the first book I read by Terry was in a team up with Neil Gaiman called Good Omens, a funny heartfelt tale of the raising of the antichrist and his dog. There are continuous friendly debates between a demon and an angle which will also be a big draw to any reader of this novel.

Back to the fantasy side of things, if you like Disc World you'll probably enjoy the world of Xanth by
Piers Anthony which is also a very long but lovable series the first of which is the book
A Spell For Chameleon.

Also my favorite fantasy novels of all time, the easy but utterly charming to read books of Patricia C. Wrede. Her Enchanted Forest Chronicles really do make me all happy inside. Dealing with Dragons / Searching for Dragons / Calling on Dragons / Talking to Dragons.

These books were ment for younger readers but I think anyone could enjoy the stories within!

I can't stop I also like the Keys to the Kingdom Series by Garth Nix I've only read Mr. Monday but I know what I like. He also wrote the Abhorsen Trilogy a somewhat darker set of novels for the necro happy style of fantasy reader. Sabriel being the first of these.

I'm adding to this again!

EARTHSEA "TRILOGY" was the first fantasy series I read which led me to great things the author of which is Ursula K. LE Guin! I can't believe these were ment for teenage readers but I did read this when I was like seven so it might be harder than I remember.

Then there were the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis.
Such a fluid believable world to me, making fantasy mix into reality without reality having a clue.

Well it was starting to feel like everyone and their grandmother had read this series but it is a favorite so I will finally add it, Harry Potter! I made a prediction back in book 5 but if I say anything it’s too much of a spoiler especially being that it came true. I like how involved the author J.K. Rowling is with her readers I think she once mentioned that she enjoys these books as much as we do, as in she’s a fan too if that makes sense. I strongly suggest http://www.jkrowling.com/ to any avid fan!

Someone else has read the wonder that is OSC! Thank GOD! I thought I was wierd! I absolutly love Ender's Game!
