I saw Deerskin and Wizard of the Grove, so I'm happy.

When I finish Game of Thrones before you make it through the two of those, I'll be rubbing it in your face.

Yeah, you still got Clash of Kings and Storm of Swords, though.

I saw you have Battlefield Earth on there, but how about a copy of Dianetics?

Liam J. said...

Did you see the part in the previous post where I said that I felt sorry for you?

It's because you're retarded. Go away.

Retarded. Very open-minded of you.

I am a sensitive new-aged guy.

Ten Little Indians (AKA "And Then There Were None") is a very cool little book, the only Agatha Christie I've read. Fun stuff.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the Kay - I've read all his stuff, minus the poetry, and only his first three disappointed me.

The George R.R. Martin stuff is awesome in all caps: AWESOME. Wait, make that all caps separated by spaces: A W E S O M E. And I don't even like fantasy.

I like what I've read of Agatha Christie, although it's more Miss Marple than anything else.

I have had a hard time getting into The Fionavar Tapestry. Something about a fantasy book starting in Toronto just hits me the wrong way. Ah well, I'll get through it...

George R.R. Martin is very good. His characters have very realistic natures and they very rarely deviate from what you could reasonably expect. Except for the last big scene in the last book. That was a shock but it seemed like it was just a shock for shock's sake. It was a little disappointing. But you're right. A W E S O M E. Hear that, Kim? Awesome. Even Earl thinks so. Read 'em.

And you should like Fantasy, Earl. It's better.

I agree with Earl. Too many B A D fantasy books. At least bad Scifi is easy to blow through in no time. Eddings fantasy stuff is like a slow month of elective groin surgery.

Liam J. said...

Eddings fantasy is like reading chocolate. Easy to read, easy to enjoy, but you're somehow a little ill after having read it.

Don't forget it is a good cough suppressant and gives you the runs.
