Or has any of you ever read his series "The Wheel of Time", I am on the first book "The Eye of the World" I am loving it so far, but I wanted some feed back on other people...I don't wanna keep reading this book if its just going to be a disappointment...
Guest Matt Posted December 20, 2001 Posted December 20, 2001 i have heard of them....but never read them.

It's like.... sacrilegious, and .. stuff! :p:box:[/color]
Queen Asuka Posted December 20, 2001 Posted December 20, 2001 [color=crimson]It sounds really familiar. I think a friend of mine was reading it lately or maybe I saw it at the library. What genre of book is it? I've been on this fantasy kick lately, and I need some good references of stories to read.[/color]

Queen Asuka Posted December 20, 2001 Posted December 20, 2001 [color=crimson]I've totally been on this book CRAZE lately! It's weird for me to get into this kind of mood...but I'm reading 3 books right now, and all day long I lay around and read, and then I eat and read, and then I read and go to sleep. Then I wake up and go to the bathroom and READ all day again. Except now when I'm online...that's my only break. And I usually like all books I read...except Charles Dickens crap....[/color]

For me, it's Steinbeck. And I'm not all that fond of Hemingway, either....[/FONT]

[/FONT] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]I am not alone! Reading Steinbeck just makes me want to take the book and hurl it out the window. I guess part of that could come from the horrible, idiotic teacher I had teaching the class I read him in, but still...[i]The Pearl[/i] was enough to make me want to :angry2: ...but I didn't :angel:[/color]
PiroMunkie Posted December 20, 2001 Posted December 20, 2001 [SIZE=1]*singing* It's the eye of the world and you know it and I feel fiiiiiiiine. Six o clock tv hour *trails off not knowing the rest of the words...* Lol, sorry that's just the first thing the popped in my head, though it IS end of the world, eye has three letters just ling end :p Ya... anyways I havn't read any of those.. Books are one of my least fav subjects, lol.. but my favorite book would prolly be 20000 Leagues Under the Sea ;)[/SIZE]
Shy Posted December 20, 2001 Posted December 20, 2001 [SIZE=1]And here I thought I was the only person who didn't like Steinbeck and Dickens. "Of Mice and Men' was such a stupid book, I must be the only person on Earth who didn't like it.[/SIZE]

Had no real point if my teacher hadn't told us the meaning was subtle, but they all complained so much... But it was short, sharp and simple (Especially Lennie:D ) *Everyone stares* Uh, ok, never mind...

[I]the grapes of wrath [/I] was pure depressing drudgery imo... i had to force myself not to throw it out the window...
Sara Posted December 20, 2001 Posted December 20, 2001 [FONT=century gothic]My buddy at school is trying to get me to read [i]Of Mice and men.[/i] Not happening anytime soon. I hated [i]The Pearl[/i], and I hated [i]The Red Pony[/i]. Ya know what happens in that book? The pony dies. Yea! Let's go write a flippin BOOK about it.....[/FONT]

Queen Asuka Posted December 21, 2001 Posted December 21, 2001 [color=crimson]It seems to me that it's mostly the books you're FORCED to read at school that you absolutely hate. But I know that can't be entirely true because some stuff I do enjoy. But the ones that press me for time and don't hold my interest when I'd rather be reading something else are the horrible ones...[/color]

[/B][/QUOTE] I've heard of Robert Jordan. I started reading the Wheel of time series and got to book five but got bored coz nothing was happening - he's on nine now!! The books were good but there is only so much of the same thing I can take. My best mate, however has read all of them and loved them, I guess I just love books that keep you on the edge of your seat. As a fellow fantasy fan I would recommend Terry Goodkinds Sword of Truth series that starts with Wizards First Rule. It's the best fantasy series I've read and thats high prise from me as I've read practically all of the modern ones. But I would say stick with it, most people I know who've read it have loved it. :)

Well I went on further in the book...and am liking it...Finally is some action...I like the detail he puts in the book...I have yet another question....Is the whole series about Lan, Moraine, Perrin, Thom, Rand, Matt, and the two girls? Or do they change characters with books?? Cera, I agree with you! The Red Pony was stupid!! Whats the point of writing about a pony that dies?? That was a sad book!
Navi Posted December 23, 2001 Posted December 23, 2001 This isn't a book, but I think it's worth reading. It was written a year after I was born. I read it a couple years ago and some people may've already read it. [url]http://www.ils.unc.edu/gbnewby/code/archive/manifesto.html[/url]
Sui Generis Posted December 23, 2001 Author Posted December 23, 2001 Is that it...or is there a whole book about that? It looks really interesting...
