I read a lot of fantasy myself. Books by Robert Jordan and Terry Goodkind I found to be quite enjoyable. Currently I am reading Kate Elliot, who seems to be turning out ok.

I tend to reread my books a lot too, read all the Harry Potter's about 4 times. Just because I get extremely bored if I have nothing to read and the fact that I own the books.

My favorite series is probably The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. Mostly because of the immense depth with which he writes but also the characters and events. The way he portrays his events is also great.

I will take a look at the authors you have mentioned as I seem to be continually running out of things to read.

I'm reading Labyrinth of Evil by James Luceno, the setup for Episode III.
At last he came to a door, with these words in glowing emeralds: THE END OF THE WORLD. He did not hesitate. He opened the door and stepped through.

I'm now reading The Reformation: A History by Diarmaid MacCulloch, a quite excellent history of the Protestant Reformation.

I'm reading Frankenstein at the moment. It's good, but hard to stay on track.

And anything that involves cows is basically essential to life.

I should get that. It wouldn't be a bad review for the AP Euro test next month.

Its very well written actually; my mom got it because it won the National Book award for History and I purloined it from her.

"Purloined" is a good word. I'll have to use it sometime. I'll stop by the used books store after my game today and see if I can find it. If it's not there, I'll have to go to hastings **dread**.

I find that "Expostulate" is a very good word. But that's just me.

Anyway, I'm working on Soul Music, a rather long Discworld novel.

I find that "inveterate" is a good word, myself.

I'm reading The Rising, by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins, currently.

Uh huh.....

My Easter Break shall end on Sunday. I just got back from a really fun trip in Sacramento. However, I do not recommend staying at a Red Lion Hotel, but I do recommend staying there if you like to shop (there's a mall in its parking lot) or if you like eating at the Cheesecake Factory, which in fact does not only serve Cheescake.

I read the Great Gatsby, Harry Potter: GoF, and Harry Potter: OotP
