Soldiers Son is really good, the main character reminds me of Fitz a lot. Also The Tawny Man Trilogy is all about Fitz after the Red Ships and develops his connection with the Fool, I would says it's as good if not better than the assassins. I haven't read The Liveship Traders but have heard good things. I am such a nerd :cool:


Was thinking of reading Assassin's Apprentice but not so sure. :s-smilie:

This book is like a bible for me. I adore Kerouac and everything that he has written.

And to come to the point

Yes, that happens in our school, the lower classes are doing Of Mice And Men. I think it's really good, her narration is brilliant (although I don't understand many of the words she uses)

I like it :smile:

I would recommend it, one of my favourite fantasy books. Hobb really makes you empathise with the characters :biggrin:

Do, it's worth it.

I've just finished The Picture Of Dorian Gray, which I loved for the most part. Oscar Wilde's style and vocabulary are so sexy.

Now I'm onto Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov. So far so good..

The Hobbit, yesterday i bought the Lord of the Rings trilogy for when i finish reading the hobbit :smile:


I finished reading that recently, quite enjoyed it. :yep: No idea when I'll start reading LOTR, though - I have too many other unread books to get through.

BTW, thanks to whoever thumbed-up my last post. :top: Harry Hill fan, I'm guessing? :biggrin:

Jane Austen - Persuasion


One of my favourite Austen novels :biggrin: I think my all time favourite would have to be Emma though. There's just something about falling in love with your best friend :wink:
