Mini Smuggler Jedi... kind of a philisophical contrdiction. I'm not a big fan of the post Star Wars EU.
Damn you 90 second rule...

MEMPHIS 7.9 by Sam Petty. A realization of the impact of the New Madrid fault earthquake zone and what will most like happen in the event of another set of quakes like those in 1811-1813! A hard science-fiction book that is quite enjoyable...and thought-provoking for someone living 20 miles from New Madrid, on the fault!
But, hey, Rian, I have never felt a temblor yet? How about you? edit: duplicate of post in the non-SF thread ... "double your pleasure, double your fun, with double-post, double-post, double-post (by) gum!"

I'm not sure if this counts as Sci-Fi but I am currently ready a most difficult book, A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. The incredible, yet horrible, slang used in this book maks it for quite a strange and almost difficult read!

I finished The First King of Shanara by Terry Brooks, and now am trying to finish The Sword of Shanara.. but it's just so long, and I'm not much of a reader. It took my like 2 years to read The Hobbit and I didn't even finish it!

Currently reading First King of Shannara myself, can't say I think very highly of it.

Meh, I thought it was all right. It gets better at the end, so does The Sword, the beginning.. well was actually ok, but the middle is kind of tedious. *Bit o' a spoiler here 'case anyone is/will read it-->* I don't know why but when Jerle was going to kill Brona in The First King and like everyone lets him through I had that "One way or another I'm gonna getcha" song in my head lol!!

Forgive the random posts but I had to say, I'm moving next month to an area that has....*holds breath in anticpation*.....an actual used book store! Evidently, reading is a 'hobby' done by the obscure here in this remote part of the US......sounds like both a vent and a happy thread item, eh?

Lovely! I love second hand book shops - I collect books, and I have a soft spot for extremely old books. Our library and the university has books written in 1890!
I'm finally continuing with Death Gate cycle by Weis and Hickman. It is stunnig. The characters are so amaizingly real and the worlds are so different from any other places I've read about. Its really worth reading. |

Since this book is always been kinda "out there" I'll discuss it here in Sci-fi/fantasy...
I just read (again) "Illusions" by Richard Bach (wrote Jonathan Livingston Seagull) Great fun, read it in an hour or two by the lake Saturday. Wonderful to try and put your mind around.

Chronicles of Narnia, book III. Its a lovely story. The way its written kind of reminds me of the Hobbit, same style.
