  1. I also read the Twilight books about two weeks ago. Didn't think that I would like them, but was pleasantly surprised . Read all 3 in a week though -- pretty quick reads. Last night I finished The Briar King by Greg Keyes, which was very good. Its a series of I believe 4 which is even completed! Now I picked up Winterbirth by Brian Ruckley, only about 50 pages in at the moment. I like the Malazan series very much. That said -- Book 1 ( Gardens of the Moon ) is easily the weakest one in the series. Give it at least through Deadhouse Gates ( book 2), which kicks much ass. Oh -- I've only read through book 5 by the way, so I cant give opinions on the last 2 ( or 3 ? ) books that have come out. Some of my other favorite fantasy -- Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing Series ( recommended to me here!! ), Scott Lynch The Gentlemen Bastards, and Joe Abercrombie's the First Law Series. None will disappoint, though I find the First Law series the strongest of the three.
  2. Im about halfway through Steven Erikson's Midnight Tides, book 5 of 10 in his Malazan series. Pretty dang good stuff, he's currently my 2nd favorite author.
  3. The Scar by China Mieville ( and a big THANK YOU to whoever it was on this board that recommended that author ) House of Chains - Steven Erikson Midnight Tides - Also Erikson the Dark Tower - Steven King To whomever it was that asked - I can only read one at a time too, I read much more and I get plotlines confused That and it just drives me crazy in general. I'm currently in the Scar, will read Dark Tower next, and then the SE books.
  4. I love the Black Company books! Croakers perspective especially - he's got a lot of great quotes. Haven't finished the series yet, good to know that it pickes back up.
  5. Im currently reading Perdido Street Station, by CHina Mieville. It was recommended by someone here on these boards a long time ago, and I've finally gotten around to reading it. So far Unread I have Knife of Dreams, by the aforementioned Robert Jordan Shaman's Crossing by also-mentioned Robin Hobb The Illearth War, The Second Book of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever by Steven DOnaldson and The Darkness that Comes Before by Scott Bakker. It has been a LONG time since I've had 5 unread books in the house. I finished George Martin's A Feast For Crows last week -- Damn he's good. My favorite author out there. Further out I need Steven Erikson's House of Chains, and if I feel rich I'll order the next 2 books in the series from Canada. Somewhere in there I will need a little non-fiction to keep me rooted here on earth, not sure what yet though. Sorry -- rambled a little bit its 5 am here
  6. There's actually a lot of guys with long hair. I like the long hair
  7. Anyone else find Greg & Ray's overuse of the exclamation point irritating? Oh -- this is in reference to the arcticle linked in the original post, by the way.
  8. My Best Friends Wedding King Arthur ( most recent one ) --I liked it Bought Serenity last week but have yet to see it -- bought it on all your recommendations so I hope I'm not dissapointed
  9. Me too

    Books!

    Amen, brother. Im currently reading the Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson, which has been very very good. Complex reading , though maybe just to my simple mind. I'd have to put him as a close second to G R R Martin, and it suprises me that I dont hear more about him. I also enjoyed Anne Rice's first 3 books, though I don't know what happened after that. Liked Stephen Donaldsons stuff too. Looking forward to reading Jordan's latest, hope he doesn't dissapoint. Oh yeah, also i need to finish the Dark Tower series.

  12. So I was on Apple's website, a mouse-click away from purchasing myself a new $300 Ipod, when it occurred to me that I know next to nothing about MP3 players. Sure, I know they play back music, and even video! Yay! But then I started wondering -- is there an alternative out there that is just as good for, say, half the price? I then went looking at different brands and decided that I am, indeed, clueless. Any advise on MP3 players? Is Ipod all its cracked up to be, or is there an alternative that is just as good? I am mostly going to be listening to music and wouldnt mind the video playback option , as I sometimes do nothing at my job for hours at a time. If that helps input any. Mostly I hear very good things about the Ipods, though another website i frequent bashes them badly. Thanks for the help in advance!!
  13. Go for the full experience and get a Brazilian
  14. Im guessing its the very last blonde gal who was with the 'tail section' crew. She was very last one shown when they were ominously telling us 'one of these people will DIE'. As long as its not Locke or Sawyer Speaking of Sawyer -- do you think we'll ever learn his real name? or did we already and I missed it? You all are much more observant than I.
  15. Now Im going to have to go and Google nanites. I saw her on the cover of a magazine, can't remember which, but I didn't recognize her right off so i think she has a little bit. Still looks good IMO, though I'm not the best judge. Oh the magazine was Rolling Stone
