Someone else who is readin the sword of shannara :love:

I have the other books that complete the trilogy if you're interested.

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf
Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

What'd you think? Personally I liked the sword of shannara more than the prequel and the sequel.

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf
Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,

I love Anne McCaffery. I'm reading some of the Pern books for a second time now. There's sooooo many of them though.

Right now it's The Renegades of Pern!

yay pern!!! :love: :love:

and russell, so far it's hard to tell, considering i haven't quite finished the book yet :P but i must say reading the prequel first i've found has added a depth to the Sword of Shannara that makes it more interesting.

i just finished reading tigana by guy gavriel kay.

quite possibly the most overwhelming book i've ever read, yet with an almost unsatisfying end, with only selective happy endings.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.
