What do you read? I'm currently half way through reading A Song Of Ice And Fire but I have no idea what to start afterwards.

I've read the first two game of thrones books but I prefer to read after I watch the series otherwise I get angry at the TV :tongue:

I'm currently going through Tolkien's stuff :smile:

I somewhat regret reading ahead now because I'll admit I prefer the series to the books. But A. I couldn't wait to find out what happened next and B. my dad read ahead and keeps threatening to drop spoilers on me.

As for Tolkein stuff I haven't read the lord of the rings in years but I've read the Hobbit recently. All good stuff though haven't read the Silmirrillion yet though

I prefer the series but don't get me wrong I love GoT so the more the better as far as I am concerned.

My dad is mean especially since I was the one who convinced him to start watching and reading Game of Thrones in the first place >:/

What is Children of Hurin about and is it any good?

aha I've recommended GoT to my family but I'd never watch it with them out of sheer embarrassment for some scenes :')

it's got a middle earth feel to it and it's pretty good though it's no LotR (though it was unfinished) it's about a war (sort of) between good and evil basically, and how hurin's children were basically caught in the middle of it, basically cursed, it follows mainly his son turin. It's a tragedy.

I certainly never watch GofT with my family either for exactly the same reason. Damn Littlefinger and all his sexy brothel scenes that aren't even in the book.

It sounds interesting I might get it on my kindle after I've finished GoT.

What career would you like to pursue after uni?

I don't know specifically maybe something in the financial sector. Obviously something that earns lots of money would be good.

I haven't actually although weirdly one of my friends invited me around to play that yesterday although sadly I was too busy.

Favourite novel probably the one I wrote and published when I was 17 (as that took a load of time to write) and if I'm not allowed to count that I'd have to say World War Z.

Favourite standalone film: Outlander (awesome story about a person from the future who ends up with Vikings fighting an alien dragon)

Favourite two parter film: Going Postal (based of the Terry Pratchett novel but I love it mainly because I have a huge crush on Adora Dearheart)

Favourite three parter: Lord of the Rings

I'm going to uni in October to study MORSE at Warwick.

MORSE stands for Maths Operational Research Statistics and Economics. SO it's kind of like 4 subjects rolled into one. :smile:

Sadly not. I'm not much into music. It's not that I don't like music, that would be weird. I just don't go out of my way to listen to anything in particular and as a result I have no idea about music culture or what anything you just said means (sorry :P). It also means my friends leave me behind when they go off to their music gig things. Also on a related note I get incredibly self concious whenever I try to dance so I'm pretty awful at that too.
