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

fave Books-
LOTR
Harry Potter
Gularbulu - go aboriginal english
the lovely bones
the 6th lamentation
great expectations
jane eyre
the tomorrow series
lambs of god

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?

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 :D

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

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