That's what I thought about some radio drama the other day. The ending is not really foreshadowed.

Stephan Clark. Its actually more like an encyclopedia to Lord Peter Wimsey. You can read about it here. It has 9,819 entries, organized alphabetically, but also by book & chapter in a separate index. Plus maps, calendars, and pictures. More the thing to have by you while you read LPW books. Its currently out of print and sells for about $200 when a copy comes up. My dad got this one interlibrary loan through the university he works at. It explains things like quotes, people, terms you never heard of, words from local English dialects, etc.

I've read the 'How to Outsmart Your Kids: Parent's Guide for Dirty Tricks' by Bill Dodds, and it was great. It doesn't seem very good, but it is incredibly funny.
I still want to read Dune, I need to go to the library... and I have three new Pratchett books in Englsih, it'll take me some time to finish them (The Fifth Elephant, Feet of Clay, Sound of Soul) as they weren't trnaslated yet... And Eddings, which I haven't got much hopes for but give a chance (the new series). I also want to read 'Fermat's last Theorem' by Simon Singh. It sounds very interesting... I read the author's other book, 'the Code Book' , which I thought was very good. Still rereading LotR. Hmm.. wanted to read the 'Little Prince', only because I haven't yet and that's shameful. And 'Three men in a boat'. That's all. |

Thanks Mercutio It sounds very interesting and like something I'd like to browse through. Maybe my library can do an interlibrary loan and find it for me, too. |

Thranduil, please read the Mallorean, really fits in well with the Belgariad.
Favourite characters have developed and new ones enter the story, some go through radical changes and some become peripheral. I really enjoyed both series and enjoyed the shocking revelation at the end ! Enjoy. I can understand why you are reading the Belgariad again, Ive read it many times and still enjoy it .
