I need to read the Da Vinci Code... yes, incredibly off from what you were discussing, but I felt the need to mention I was going to read it.

Yeah, my favorite series probably is Artemis Fowl. I just like the modern twist on a fairy tale theme.

Those are good books, and as for Nightkey, I refuse to read that book as for its against my religion... Also, I so can't wait for the new Harry potter book to come out, it looks awesome!

Oh the irony of not going for something against one's religion, yet indulging in something sadly 'controversial' to so many conservatives. Bah.

I've ordered a few books over the internet. A compilation of Four novels by Philip K. Dick with "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch", "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", and "Ubik". The other book is a psychology one, sadly out of print, so I got it used. Still in relatively respectable condition though, even if the pages are yellowed.

Well, I can't say I've heard of him, but some books I'd like to get would be Eldest, I still haven't gotten to read that yet.

Zoratunic

That one was pretty good, you'll enjoy it.

BEST. BOOK. EVAR. Seriously.

I just bought Witches Abroad and Wyrd Sisters, both by Terry Pratchett. I'm still working on Howard's End (have been devoting next to no time on it) so once that's done with I'll get to those. I'm sore tempted just to skip straight to them! But I'll be a good girl and finish this one first. Siiigh.

My favorite book series is the Harry Potter series but, I don't think the movies are as good.

As a rule of thumb, the movie versions are virtually always not as great as their book counterparts.

Terry Pratchett is a great author.
I loved Witches Abroad.

I actually like most of what Diana Wynn Jones writes. She wrote "Howl's Moving Castle," "The Castle in the Sky," and "Dogstar," which are some of my favourite books. Dogstar was so... awesome.

I have to read Ibn Battuta for Global History. Somebody lie and tell me it's a decent, interesting book. Please. :D

Cool, another Pratchett fan! Well, as it happened I did end up skipping Howard's End and went straight to Wyrd Sisters. It's great, so smooth. Nothing beats the way he can totally bring you out of an elegant scene description with a good laugh you never expected.

I really would like to get my hands on Howl's Moving Castle. Not just the book, but the film as well. So thanks for reminding me, so I can add that to my list of Things I Want.
