    Well I was just figuring it would be kinda nice to see what other people are reading and liking (due to the fact that I read too much and I currently have nothing new to read...)
    Personally my favorite books are as follows:

    >The Wheel of Time - By Robert Jordan
    >A Song of Ice and Fire - By George RR Martin
    >Ender's Game!! - Orson Scott Card
    >Old Man's War - By not sure...
    >Hero's Die - By Matthew Stover

    So what are you all reading?


    PS: Has any 1 read the newest dark templar saga book is it any good? I loved the first one.

    My substantial List
    - The Dark Tower Series - Stephen King // Incredible read, very adult oriented themes, not for the weak of mind.
    - The Lord of the Rings and all associated books - J.R.R. Tolkien // Need I say more?
    - As has been said before all books by Terry Pratchett
    - The Fifth Ring, The Emerald Cavern, and the Ancient Legacy - Mitchell Graham // This serious simply put is one of the best I have read with deploying a good plot, convincing characters and the overall portrayal of a innocent evil.
    -The Forgotten Realms - R.A. Salvatore - This series gives a very strong sense of how fantasy battles should be waged and has introduced one of my favorite book personalities, Drizzt Do'Urden.
    - Prey, Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park: The Lost World, Timeline - Michael Crichton // I would recommend all these books to a wide variety of audiences seeing as a good deal have already been produced anyway. Still, books are better than movies.
    - Almost all the books by John Grisham - These involve law and legal practice, something which actually is really interesting. Although this portrays some of the stuff in a very interesting light. As before some have been made into movies, but books are better than movies.
    - Although he isn't an author per say, I would recommend as well the works of Edgar Allen Poe.
    - For any Halo Fan I would recommend any of the books involving Halo as they flesh out more of the Halo Universe.
    - Of course I can't skip over the Starcraft books as well. I loved 'em and so will you.
    - And lastly, the Young Merlin series... not all that much, not all that little. for you to decide as I have forgotten the authors name.

    Thats my list for now. Ya.... I've read a lot of stuff.

    Yes it's pretty good I'd say. Not that scary but still a good read.




    Oooo I liked Fahrenheit 451
