Happy reading! Hope you enjoy them

(I certainly enjoyed the first three).

*Sigh* I put it off for years but I'm about to start ACC's 2001, just hope it's not as boring as the Rama books

Well, this will inspire you to read 'em: I zoned out in the first 50 pages of 2001.

Hey, I loved those Rama books! Did you read all of them?, I can't remember how many there are, about 3 or 4. ACC is one of my favorite authors. My advice: keep reading, it gets better.

There are 4 that I know of..............maybe I'll go back to them when I've had an attempt at 2001

Elven Archer · 11-30-2002, 02:36 PM

i've never heard of those books before.

I jsut finished reading the first book of the Sackett series, i guess that's wht you'd call it. "Sackett's Land" i've only read 3 of 'em so far and they were all really good. the one i just read had a bunch of sword fighting and all kinds of other stuff in it. Anyway it was a really good book and i'm gonna start reading the next one soon.

Duddun · 12-01-2002, 12:50 AM

What's the "Sackett series about?

Elven Archer · 12-01-2002, 02:35 PM

I'm really bad at exlaining stuff but i can try.
I've only read 3 and the 3 i read were Ride the River,Jubal Sackett, and Sackett's Land. I'm not sure what all the others are about cause there's about 15 or 20 i think.But I think each one is kinda the story of one of the Sacketts but each one mentions other Sacketts in it. they're really interesting if you read them in order because a couple books will be about one Sackett and all about his exciting life and then 2 books later it's about his son and then there' books about that guys life untill he dies or something. The first one is about Barnabas Sackett and how he's trying to get to the New World and stuff.It takes place in the 1500's. the ones i read had sword fighting and all kinds of other adventures in 'em. (i guess that's the word for it).

in the one i just read Barnabas humiliates the Earl's nephew so then the nephew wants to kill him. then while he's escaping and trying to sell some gold coins and get maps of the New World he makes friends who help him fight all the people off to kill him and stuff. and he gets kidnapped by someone hired by the nephew and all kinds of other stuff.

If it still doesn't sound that interesting but you like books full of adventure and excitement and whatnot then you should try reading them because they're alot more interesting than i can type them out to be. sorry if i didn't do a good job telling you what they're about

i amstarting to tired of Ann Frank and went to Borders for a wrapping book thing and found two new books that look extremely good. "Never trust a Dead man" Vivian Vande Velde
and "The riddle of Penncroft Farm." by Dorothea Jensen.

Varda Oiolosseo · 12-05-2002, 05:27 PM

Shadowfax · 12-08-2002, 04:36 PM

Right now I'm reading Saints and Villains by Denise Giardina. It's about Deitrich Bonhoeffer. It's quite good so far (I'm about a quarter of the way through).

I love northern lights. i hope you do to. It can just take you away so you want to be there with the characters.
I have got to read that book again. Its great.

Varda Oiolosseo · 12-09-2002, 02:37 PM

Thanx Hanza!!
Have u read the other two? The Amber Spyglass and The Subtle Knife?
Which one did u think was the best?

Hanza · 12-09-2002, 02:49 PM

Thats OK
I have tried reading Subtle knife but cant get into it. Its harder than Northern Lights. Keep reading Northern Lights and then tell me what you think of it. K?

Miranda · 12-11-2002, 05:02 PM

Embarrassingly I've actually just picked up a really soppy romance I used to read a few years ago called My secret love. Its a real teeny piece of rubbish but for some reason I've just been drawn to it again. Maybe its an omen!!! Mx

Radagast The Brown · 12-13-2002, 05:33 PM

now I'm reading the appendixes of lotr in the first time. That's all... I finished Edings and this Mary Higgins Clark boring book.

Blackboar · 12-13-2002, 05:54 PM

I'm reading the Hobbit. I've just finished reading LotR for the millionth time so I just felt like it!

cassiopeia · 12-14-2002, 12:42 AM
