I don't think the cause would be First Edition status... I got a First Edition Song of Susannah for £10. Oddly apt conversation, a character in Wolves of Calla is an obsessed bibliophile willing to pay any amount for rare books, lol.

I'm guessing he's planning to finish the Wheel of Time first, so finally an indicator that the end is indeed in sight people. Congratulations anyone who managed to keep with him the whole. While I've long since dropped off the WoT wagon, I'll propably check this book out whenever its released, I...

The thing that always stikes me about GRRM is the large amount of disagreement there is amongst fans as to their favourite characters. Personnally, I think Sansa is one of the most interesting characters, whereas Jon is just boring. :p

Wow, that is a brilliant list :) I think I've read about 50 - 75% of them and not a single one wouldn't appear on my list. Makes for satisfying reading, people still have taste :p

He has one stand-alone novel - The Redemption of Athalaus (or something like that :rolleyes: ). It certainly is representitive in that everything he writes is almost exactly the same. Slightly worse than his other stuff too. :) Don't let me put you off though, tons of people enjoy his books...

The only book I've read by HG Wells is The Island of Dr Moreau, hardly his most famous work. Have heard the War of the Worlds musical though :)

Sounds like The Ring of Five Dragons by Eric Van Lustbader, first in the Pearl Sage. Hope that helps :)

1610 is a great read by Mary Gentle Amazon review: Mary Gentle is widely known for what I like to call "historical fantasy." 1610: A Sundial in a Grave barely meets the definition of fantasy or science fiction, with the only fantastic element being the fact that mathematical precognition is a...

It is true, but I don't think you'll see Pennywise. Father Callahan from Salem's Lot is a major character in the fifth book, and the Crimson King drops in too.

Plus its worth getting for the lovely cover. :o

Babel-17 by Samuel Delany is a fantastic read. I'd second Fluffy bunny's reccomendations, in particular the Lord of Light and The Stars My Destination. For more modern works you could try Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan and Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds.

I never got round to finishing the second chronicles. I do have the last book, but I'm reluctant to start reading it as my memory of the first two is very hazy. Anyone know somewhere where I could read some summaries?

Not that good though... :p

I've read Babel-17 by him, which was fantastic, and I've been meaning to get this because of it :)

Steven Erikson - Tales of the Malazan, beginning with Gardens of the Moon.

I'll second the Forever War and would like to nominate White Apples by Jonathan Caroll.

I have to agree with you about Kushiel's Dart, but I thought the 2nd and 3rd books where much more accomplished. Two of the best books I read last year.

Propably the best retelling of the Arthurian saga I've read. Can drag at places, but overall very interesting and, more importantly, very good.

You make it sound like a good thing :confused: :p

Leave me alone! I can spell just fine! :(
