I'm reading the Earthsea Cycle by Ursula K. Le Guin. I read A Wizard of Earthsea, and I'm starting The Tombs of Atuan. They're great.


I loved that series. Make sure you read Tales from Earthsea and the Other Wind. They came out much later than the original series, but are also very good.

I certainly shall. I just finished reading The Tombs of Atuan. I loved it. Le Guin is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.

A collection of Angela Carter's fairy tales. I picked it up in a second hand and out of print book store when my sister and I went away for the weekend (and I randomly got hired to dance at a ren faire...). It's like fairy tales for the older set and quite interesting, actually. They all end a bit abruptly and they're not as sentimental as even the Grimm's collection. I'm only just starting, though, so...

i have read and loved Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck heart
youve probably heard of it as a boring novel that has no point *and its not fantasy either* but it is REALLY good
its about 2 men: Lennie who is mentally retarded and really big and George who is a small man and really smart. George takes care of Lennie, and they have to escape to a new town because Lennie loves to touch or pet the things he sees and he saw a velvet dress, so he grabbed the hem of it and the girl, thinking that he was going to sexually abuse her started screaming and hitting him so he became really scared and his arms locked onto the dress. at the new town, the same thing happens and some other event *REALLY dramatic* but im not going to spoil it...

if u have read this story, who's side are on in the major problem? Lennie or George? (i side with Lennie)

Just finished The Farthest Shore by Ursula K. Le Guin. It was incredible. That about sums it up, really.

Let me be your wings

Seventy-Seven Clocks by Christopher Fowler. So far it's a great mystery that, I think, may involve time travel, although I'm not sure.


Let me take you far beyond the stars

I am reading a book my friend lent me by Christopher Moore called A Dirty Job. It's about this loser guy who finds out he's a sort of messenger of death. It's absolutely hilarious, but at the same time has some deep stuff in it. Brilliant. I definitely recomend it, but only to mature readers. Moore's favorite word starts with an F. ninja

Breaking Dawn, and I can't get through it. Dangit, Jacob Black needs to shut up.

Guardians of the Forest by Graham McNeill

It is a amazing book that looks at the lives of the wood elves in the warhammer world, and shows how in their greatest hour they suffered what they believes was a lesser race in a effort to save their wood land home from the mutated monsters of chaos and a lord of chaos. The story is good for those whom love combat, little sauciness, battle humor and seeing the clash of two cultures

Both excellent choices.

I'm finally reading Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, which I deduce many of you have read from the fact that the guild is named for it. It's quite good thus far, though the size is a bit daunting in light of all the other things I'm doing right now. But I'll get through it!

i got Chalice by Robin McKinley for Chrostmas, so i'm into that.

it's fairly short, but i'm to the point where everybody starts to pick on her so i put it down until i felt stronger
