I want you to know....due to technical difficulties I JUST finished the first book.
*sigh*
Have I ever mentioned how much I SUCK?!
Yeah.
Well......I do.
At some things.
Like getting a book read within a timeframe, maybe?
Next book?
Ummmm.....
but did she like the first book?
!!
I think someone else might suggest the next book since I suggested the first
(also, we need to work out how to have more discussion about the book)(IMHO)
Re: more discussion - I was thinking about having questions to ask and answer (as opposed to what else one might do with questions?)
I have suggestions for books:
The Crystal Shard - R.A. Salvatore
The Monk - Matthew Gregory Lewis
Siddhartha - Hermann Hesse
Watership Down - Richard Adama
I never read Watership Down when I was young. . . Hesse frightens me. . . may I investigate the other two and report back?
in the meantime, how did you come up with those?
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
(have you ever read any Terry Pratchett?)
How? I pulled them out of thin air, dear woman. (seriously)
I never liked Hesse much (he took everything so seriously).
I loved Watership Down (I live quite near it now).
Salvatore will be one of those SF/SciFi series?
I'd tend to go for the Monk since I've never heard of the book or the author.
(Oh it's not the one about a robot that was made into a kind of SciFi Western film is it?)
Not that I have anything against SF/SciFi. I love it, in fact until recently it's what I read nearly all the time :)
Here is a link to the text at Project Gutenberg:

Oh geeze......I so suck at having the free time to actually DO the reading.....
That ain't about anybody but me and my ability to actually GET things done in the time frame allotted.
And yes, I rather enjoyed Hector--well, most parts anyway. I did wrinkle up my nose at some of his decision making....silly man....
I started reading the monk! at the rate I can manage in front of a monitor it may take months - I never realised how essential a soft carpet and a book rest (pillow) are, to fast reading!
Popping over to Amazon now to see if it's available in paper.
Yay, £2.49 and ordered!
Plus the Prodigal Summer and Punchbowl Midnight.
