Books are pretty rad, I s'pose.

I dropped Wind-Up Bird Chronicle near the end in favour of another book that I had to return and now I can't get back into it. I don't even remember what's going on and I really don't want to go back because it's not that exciting of a book.

Also the guy in that picture's pants are on fire, so I must assume that he, and you, by association, are liars. You book hater :angry:

I heart books. Right now I'm reading the Thrawn series of Star Wars books (Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, The Last Command) and they are extremely excellent.

Currently reading Shadows Fall by Simon R. Green. It is fantastic.

Yes they are, and there are several other Star Wars novels by the same author (Timothy Zahn, I think). They are all good stuff.

It is imperative that you read Cal Neuvost's Treatises of Extraordinary Consequence.

I cried: "I must be free!" And yet,
Full was I with regret
When surf cried back with wet decree.

Books are great but I've kinda run out of things to read. I like Videogames, Harry Potter, penthouse, various comics, Fantasy, action, suspense, that kinda of thing.


Recommend something.
Tell me a story baby.
I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!

If you want a good scifi/fantasy, I would reccomend Cusp, by Robert A. Metzger. It's pretty heavy, though (in both content and physical size).
