It's a really good book, the ending was very touching (Although I'm just a closet softy). I'm the same when it comes to Pratchett, I go through them so quickly that the libarary's running out of books I've not yet read....... That's a good thing, right? $:-\$

Of course it's a good thing, you can never read too many books!Â

Would your alias be hinting at a certain Discworld novel by the way?Â

Sadly no, But my signature is.
My alias is more of a joke between me and Keyboardistmatt that ended up sticking as an online nick name, Strange how that always happens.

Just started The Earthsea Quartet by Ursula Le Guin. I think I read something by her years ago but nothing since and since I've heard good things about her, I picked this one up the other day. Four books in one, so it should keep me going for a while!

Let me know if you liked it and which part is your favourite as soon as you finish

(mine is "The farthest shore")Â I absolutely love this book and U.K. leGuin is my favourite female writer. If you like this one I would further recommend perhaps "Left Hand of Darkness" or "City of Illusions". Or if you like short stories "The Fisherman of the Inland Sea" collection. Enjoy your reading!

You need to move swiftly on to the "Liveship Traders" trilogy (or whatever it's called). Same world/time but different characters/story BUT it does tie in with the Farseer storyline towards the end of the trilogy and then the next set of 3 books (the "Fool" trilogy) finishes everything off - epic stuff indeed

Have you read any Robin Hobb or JV Jones..?? If so how does UK Leguin compare..?? I think those 2 are the only 2 female authors within the Fantasy genre which I've read books by and they're both top drawer so I'm curious about ULG now

Cheers

I'm reading a book called 'Bint'.
It's for school, and in some way I do like it.

The story's about a schooldirector who's name is Bint. He uses an iron fist to rule the school.
Another teacher who's called 'De Bree' is one of the most frustrating teachers in the world I guess. He is a tool, used by Bint to create an atmosphere wherein students are trained to become really strict personalities.

It's written in a very difficult way...
I'm on one of the last pages but I can't go on... it's too difficult...

But I have to, 'cause it's for school...
Wish me luck.

At the moment i'm at book 5 in The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. I saw people have different opinions about it, but i for one love the series.

Before that i read The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant (first and second chronicle) and The DaVinci code.
Books that i read whenever i get the time are The Hitchhiker's Guide and LOTR

I believe it is known as 'Spamming...' and in forum world, is generally frowned upon, and not allowed.

Still on the David Zindell one. It's getting mildly interesting now so I'm beginning to think I may get my £7.99's worth

Asterix is cool

At the moment, cartoon wise, I'm alternating between Beau Peep and Dilbert

keyboardistmatt · Fri, 2005-10-14, 15:32:25

Hmmm.... Dilbert....
I'll have to buy some.

Not yet, though!
