    What other hobbies do you enjoy?

    I love to write - I've completed a novella and novel based on the same land I've created (I've even got a map of the place) - and I'm still writing on the thing. There's so much story in my mind that hasn't been told yet. I've also done a few children's stories. I'd love to refine them and...

    Count of Monte Cristo

    I loved the movie, but then again, I love anything that Jim Caviezel does. Is the book really so different - I have it sitting on my shelf waiting to be read.

    Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

    I'm picking up this book next since I just finished FotR, so maybe I'll have more thoughts later. But I kind of enjoyed this movie more than the first one. Not sure why. The Ent battle was fabulous and yes, Gollum was one of the best CGs I've ever seen. I really liked the casting of Faramir...

    Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

    I just finished reading Fellowship of the Ring and I found that the movies had what was happening overall, but did things a bit different than the books - from how Pippen & Merry joined Sam and Frodo to the whole Arwen bit (I was shocked that she was barely mentioned in FotR when she appeared to...

    Harry Potter Stories

    I wasn't expecting to like them, but my closest friend told me I had to read them and I usually trust her judgement. Anyhow, they were a lot of fun to read - I especially enjoyed the 3rd and 4th ones because you start to learn a little more about Harry's past and they were a bit darker than the...

    Clive Cussler

    Thank you so much for listing the order! I just checked out the first 2 in one volume and I wanted to read all the rest of his in order. I heard on one forum a bunch of people really speaking negatively about Clive Cussler's writing - mainly about how he portrayed women in his books. My...

    Female Writers

    Melanie Rawn, Katherine Neville, Kate Elliott, Jan Karon, Iris Johansen, and Jane Green come to mind.

    Sci Fi or Fantasy Favourites

    The Dragon Prince and Dragon Star trilogies by Melanie Rawn are excellent. I've also enjoyed the Jaran series by Kate Elliott and the Red Mars series by Kim Stanley Robinson. That one is a lot more scientific - it can seem slow at times, but at the same time, the logic and underlying story is...

    Comics

    I enjoy reading comics/graphic novels. I never had up until this past year when I discovered the company, Crossgen. I loved some of the artwork and have since, gotten hooked on the comics themselves. Meridian, Scion, Sigil, Ruse, Crux, they've got a title for every person's taste! My avatar...

    It's a bird, it's a plane, it's...a new girl!

    Hi! I'm Hollis. I just found the site and I think it looks wonderful! I'm an avid reader - doesn't matter what genre. I'll read anything. I think my 2 favorite books of all time are A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens and The Eight by Katherine Neville. My favorite authors include...
