i read the new book by the chick that wrote looking for alibrandi yestreday.......its not bad but it has fairly similar themes.......

some guy obviously quite bored did a study and found that if we read from the time we were born to when we were 80 and died we would only read about 1% of all the books in the world

i wanna get as close to that 1% as possible

I've been reading most peoples choices and I've decided that the only books I like are hard fantasy/sci-fi.

You know, the Eddings, the Kerr, the Card. All those authors and more.

I thionk that Fantasy is becoming a much more popular genre lately.

hehhehe, fantasy and sci-fi are the two genres that I tend to avoid (aside from crime fiction that is).

I know, I know, I should give them a try.

do they come mostly in series?

 

[saladsurgery]

i havent read any fantasy/sci fi for a while, but it's nice when they come in series. you finish a book, think "oh, that was nice", and then there's 3 or 4 more of the same to follow up

 

[Ollz San]

yeah, I know what you're saying.

however the sequals kinda ruined it for me in Tomorrow series.

 

[chip]

Nah i reckon the sequals were cool in the tomorrow series...... except maybe the whole blowing up the train and all that......... that was going a bit too far

I'm impressed... I love reading but I read that but I had so much trouble getting through it...although I did find Miss Havisham mildly interesting....

 

[~ForAGoodCause~]

i rekon the tommorow series were great, except for the last book...

 

[bookboy18]

In truth, the tommorrow series was the first books a read with actual sex in it.

But some of the best books come in series. Need I mention Eddings.

yeh the tomorrow series is cool, except maybe the last book a bit too long or something?
Miss Havisham....... hahahaha....... for some reasons she really cracks me up........ hahahaha........
