I am currently reading "The Elf Queen of Shannara" by Terry Brooks

...

it's the third book in the second series, i highly recommend picking up his first book "The Sword of Shannara" and getting into the series'

Yup, read them all (including the Demon stuff and the Shannara prequel). A must read series in my book (to make a pun).

I'll move on to the Discworld after :)

Apparently I have been missing out!

I haven't read those particular books but I have read most of the Discworld series at one time or another.

just starting :D

That's the book my son is currently reading.

What I am currently reading is Elantris by Branden Saunderson (the guy who took over the Wheel of Time series). I've read it before but now I'm keeping an eye out for adult references but it seems perfectly fine for a 10 year old. I started reading it aloud to him but he'll probably take it over soon enough.

Sanderson is a genius! I can't say it enough. Mistborn is an incredibly amazing trilogy, his Alcatraz series was a lot of fun to read and Elantris was great as well.

It's actually an extremely interesting read. It was sitting in my local library and because I have an interest in the Third Reich I figured I might as well grab it. It's about 260 pages, but it's quite a long and thorough look at a member of the Fallschirmj?ger: and a 'first generation' member, at that. If you see a copy of it sitting around, I highly recommend it - especially if you find this era in history to be interesting. According to Amazon, it's ?19.99, though it's available for ?13.99 at the moment, with free Super Saver Delivery. If you're looking for a biography I'd suggest it.

My #1 book beef these days...

With all of the Twilight crap out there, I'm noticing more and more romance crap being filed under "SciFi". I draw the line when some Nora Roberts books get filed under there because there is some minimal time travel element to the story.

Just finished entire Asimovs Foundation series (7 books). Took me quite a while to do that.(nearly 2 months since ive read 1 book per week)

Now i am thinking if i should read robot series, or something entirely different from either arthur clarke or even Machiavelis The Prince. Hmm :D

The Emperor Wears No Clothes

Quote from the back cover:

If all fossil fuels and their derivatives, as well as trees for paper and construction were banned in order to save the planet, reverse the Greenhouse Effect and stop deforestation?

Then there is only one known annually renewable natural resource that is capable of providing the overall majority of the world?s paper and textiles; meeting all of the world?s transportation, industrial and home energy needs; simultaneously reducing pollution, rebuilding the soil, and cleaning the atmosphere all at the same time?

And that substance is?the same one that did it all before?
