I finished reading Sherwood about two weeks ago, which I must say, is the best Robin Hood book I've ever read. I have read many. Very good.

LotR I've read, and need to re-read
We're reading Gatsby next in English
Da Vinci Code was good

I love Science books (non-fiction), fantasy, and young adult, oh, and any book that is a Robin Hood re-telling.

Did I mention Harry Potter books?!!!!
I've read all of them at least three times each. I'm working on my fifth fourth book reading.

Whatever happens..happens.

To make things clear: Tyrael used to be Avatara's nick, probably from the time he was addicted to Diablo II.

And start with Dragons of Autumn Twilight -> Dragons of Winter Night -> Dragons of Spring Dawning -> Dragons of Summer flame. The others I haven't read, although there are many many many books out there.

And other things? I forget, didn't we play Diablo together? That was so long ago my memory frayed...

I've still yet to manage the completion of an entire Harry Potter book, but, with every rerun on television of the movies, I find myself enjoying them more and more. The main problem that I continue to have with the entire series (which is what caused me to throw down the book in the first place), however, is how a bunch of supposedly all-powerful wizards have so many pathetically benign problems that should, as far as I'm concerned, be able to be solved with the simple wave of a wand.

Studies have shown that placing a "No Tresspassing" sign in front of a person's property increases the number of unwanted visitors. Human nature is a weird thing, isn't it?

Because if you don't, it could be argued that you don't mind those visitors, and they're not as unwanted, so there will be less unwanted people than if you put up a sign.
