so they were all ken follet books

world with out end (sequal to pillars of the earth)
the third twin
and
one other i cant remember

Seth, I think you're supposed to read them so you can enjoy them. If you don't remember them what good does it do you? LOL. I was like that in high school. Reading three 800 page novels in a week. Believe it or not, I actually had a teacher try and tell my parents I had A.D.D. All I did was read my book for 1 1/2 hours (I was in block scheduling). Not quite halfway through Lord of Chaos (sixth book in Wheel of Time).

only one of the three had more than 800 pages the other two had like 400 i think
ps i have read the first eleven wheel of time books
and an interestign tid bit of information
there are thigns in those books that come from a certain real pagan culture
to be specific a certain word is used to describe a certain groups of "magic using" women
that word is actually part of a sacred pagan language
and was never supposed to be known by anyone outside the religion
anyways just thought id mention that cuz its a very interestign fact =)

See, all I noticed was the Artur Paendrag reference. A lot of this series aligns quite nicely with the Arthur Pendragon legend.

Currently, I'm about halfway through Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dresden_files). THe books were the basis for the (unfortunately) short lived series on Sci Fi Channel. Surprisingly, I never read the books when they first came out (surprising because the series fits right in with the genres I normally read) and I watched the show until ong after it was cancelled (mainly because I have a hard time keeping up with TV series and remembering when they are on). Most definitely, this series has been a good read for me so far. (I even have the newest novel on pre-order, due out in a month or so.)

And plans are, once I finish reading the Dresden Files, I'll start in on another series that I should have read long before now, the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton. Another long series that should hopefully be an entertaining read.

Finally got to the seventh book in the Wheel of Time. Only thing I'm not quite fond of is each book ends in the standard type of cliffhanger that finishes the book, but leaves it open for more, and yet the next book starts some place completely different. Not that big a deal and I doubt the author will ever change them (isn't he dead?), but an opinion can be helpful.

Yeah, unfortunately Robert Jordan did die before he was able to complete the novel. But it is my understanding that he left enough notes behind that the (supposedly) final novel will be able to be finished by another author (according to Wikipedia, it's due out this fall)

This was another series I didn't get into right away, and got daunted by the size of the novels when I finally did take a look at them in the book store (I think the 6th novel had just gotten released). If it wasn't for a friend of mine giving me the 6th book (he gave up trying to read it, because he couldn't follow the plot, having started with the 6th book ), I probably would never have gotten and read them all.

I just read the first of the Xanth series by Piers Anthony. Very different from what I imagined, but good.

One of my long time favorites, ever since I "borrowed" the first 3 or 4 books from my brother years ago (hmmm, I wonder if he's realized that he's still missing them yet ). I've kind of lost track of the series since it isn't as readily available in my area anymore (the local bookstore's fantasy/sci-fi section has been dwindling for years, and my only other choice is Wal-Mart, and I've yet to see a single Anthony book there yet).

I just LOVE the way Anthony plays with words. His fantasy books are excellent!!!!!!!!

At the moment I am reading Irving's Cider House Rules which I must admit I found rather gruesome at the beginning. I also just got lent Meyer's Twilight, so I'll be starting that probably tomorrow.

I loved the movie Cider House Rules and am going to hit Twilight this summer.
