The sun is shining, and my word it's FRIIIIIIDAYYY!!

Hello friday people!

I have just completed and submitted my essay woohoo!!

How the devil are you?

b :)

i used to read it alot more than i do now. i loved mccaffreys pern novels and donaldsons thomas covenant and zelaneys princes of amber, anthonys xanth... recently, i really really enjoyed robin hobbs liveship traders.

Hahah HK, Stop Hogging!! I need some too!! hahah You *heart* wallace and grommit too, or the show that was on the french channel?  ... or both...

kathy... i think u r right.

So.. you like really crummy sci-fi ;).. Xanth *shiver*

Well.. if you like really crummy sci-fi, look into an author named Kelley Armstrong.

If you want something a little better, try Jim Butcher :)

I used to LOOOOOOVE Xanth back in the day.

The incarnations series as well.

My current faves are the Harry Potter series and the Neverland Chronicles by Dave Barry.

scifi snob!

neverland chronicles. thanks sc.

if i can still envision portions of something i read 20+ years ago, it was good in my book. :)

Dave Barry? THE Dave Barry is writing fantasy?

Gosh, I may need to check that out.

I am. Yes. :)

My favorite authors are Jim Butcher and Terry Pratchett :)

if u like fantasy... come spend some time in my head.

oh, well, wg is already there.

well, sort of.  He's written two "prequels" to Peter Pan.  targeted at same audience and HP & TPS.

oooooh,  I Loved piers Anthony's Xanth novels,  the Incarnations of Immortality was a real good series too. On a pale Horse was groundbreaking in my opinion.

if your looing for another good Author, I also lie R.A. Salvator, does a lot of writing for the "Forgotten Realms" series, (Drizzt Du'Urden kicks ass!)  and also does writing for the Star Wars novels.

drizzt du'urden does kick ass!

on a pale horse was so inventive! the next one...not so much.

Seriously... dave barry is one of the FUNNIest authors... I miss his regular column,.... gosh he's funny....

I'm actually trying to read thru some of the "Great Books" I've finished the Gilgamesh Epic and Don Quixote. Almost finished the Illiad.

...

*snob*

Xanth started out amusing, but Piers Anthony's a dirty old man and his books just kinda got dumb.

Yeah, Incarnation of Immortality STARTED really good, but.. not so much near the end. :/

I read R.A. Salvatore and enjoy his "Woods Out Back" series.. never really got into the Forgotten Realms stuff too much.

The Terry Brooks "Shannara" series is pretty good. I may need to reread this :)

yes b, its quite a funhouse :)

i'm pretty sure that the fantasy writer Dave Barry and the humorist Dave Barry are different people.

You'd be wrong there, M_P.  Same dude.

my latest classics...lady chatterly's lover. jane eyre. for whom the bell tolls. i try to pick one up every 6 months or so.
