I got Children of hurin back in May for my birthday. I had only just finished reading The Silmarillion so i ended up not wanting to delve back into middle earth history so soon.

Yes, Daywatch was the basis of the movie. But the first book, Nightwatch contains the seeds for both movies. The Daywatch book has very little to do with the movie. I'm looking forward to both the third movie and book, Twillightwatch.

I've seen the first film (and it was on again the other night), Daywatch has yet to be released on dvd over here yet so i haven't seen it.
 
I recently picked up Philip Pullman's Dark Materials. I've finished The Golden Compass and The Subtle Knife and have just started The Amber Spyglass. Pretty good read.

My eye has caught some books by an Author named Jennifer Roberson (I think thats right) Has anyone read anything by her? And was it worth the read?

Oh and 100th post!!! Yipee Skipee!!
 
I really like Stephen Lawhead's Song of Albion trilogy! Its full action, intense battle, heartbreaking moments and moments where one feels joyfull.

How do you like it? Dr. Bauer was a professor of mine in college. She's fantastically bright and very down to Earth.
 
Right now, I'm reading Xenocide by Orson Scott Card. I've read all of the Ender's Shadow series except Shadow of the Giant, and now I'm working on Ender's Game.
 
Just finished Kiss the Girls by James Patterson. Holy carp can that man write a fast paced thriller. 2.5 half page chapters, insane plot twists and tons of suspense! I was about half way through and couldn't stop reading, I was up until 3 am finishing it. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was intense! Can't wait to read what happens to Alex Cross next, going to pick up the next one tomorrow.
 
Has anyone read Elantris? I thought it was great, and I was wondering if Mistborn was a sequel.

Why would you read Ender's Shadow and Xenocide before Ender's Game? All three in the Ender's Game Trilogy are excellent, but are very different from one another. I think I liked Xenocide least, but that's just my opinion.

No, I mean I have read the rest of the Ender's Shadow SERIES, in order, and now I'm working on the Ender's Game SERIES, in order. So far, Xenocide isn't very good.
 
Just finished reading 'The Broken God' and now onto the second book in the Trilogy: 'The Wild'. Apparently the Author, David Zindell, lives in California (i think).
 
Just finished A Clockwork Orange and I thought it was a very deep riveting novel. One of my favorites by far. I just started The Road by Cormack McArthy. It is amazing!

Oooooooooh. right. My mistake. :oops: Xenocide kinda picks up a bit in the middle, but it gets "fuzzy" and weird at the end.

I just finished Guns Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond. It's a fascinating read as to why the world developed like it did.
 
I am reading the Legend of the Five Rings series: the four winds. It follows the clan war series which was very good. This is while I am waiting for the next Drizzt book to come out and of course while I am waiting for the next Dresden book to come out. Keep the pages turning, at least while you're not playing Heroscape.
 
I'm reading Of Mice and Men for school, and gotta have it finished by Tuesday for a test, still haven't opened it yet. Anyone have any feedback about it?
