	All finished with Dark Lord. I really enjoyed it. I was a little annoyed by Vader's apparent incompetence through most of the story but he redeemed himself at the end. Now I'm back into Narnia and reading The Silver Chair. Good so far, but I'm kinda sad to know there's only one more book left. -----signature----- Satan's not in a guitar pick, he's inside all of us.

	I used to re-read the LotR novels once a year and I've read the first six Dark Tower books at least twice (the first four at maybe 304 times). I tried to go back and re-read Harry Potter, but as much as I enjoyed them the first time, I couldn't get into them again. I don't know, maybe the movies have ruined it for me because that's what I see when I try to read now. -----signature----- Satan's not in a guitar pick, he's inside all of us.

	Reread Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone again. Very good the 2nd or 3rd time. Like the movie, the beginning is slow, but once they get the ball rolling it's a good start for the series. Time to reread COS. -----signature----- Host of CBC (Chapter by Chapter) for PT, CT and SFF forums and Box Office Game ROTS-DS Chapter 3: Seeds of Rebellion FOTR Chapter 29: Bilbo's Gifts TSS Chapter 17: Facts and Feathers (8/24/07)

	Un fortunate that my brother lost COS. But I'm trying to read up and figure out everything about Horcrux's, and what it might be. I love the potter series. I had to put down the Satnd for a while. I might even start LOTR series I've read the Hobbit like 8 times.

	I finished CS Lewis' The Silver Chair and have the last Narnia book waiting for me at home. When I've finished that and the last collection of Conan stories I don't know what to read. -----signature----- Satan's not in a guitar pick, he's inside all of us. In here, in your hearts.

	I'm reading Modesitt's Towers of the Sunset and trying to to start anything as I'm going to be travelling next week ands won't be able to bring much. However, since the Holuse Cup game has started, I'll probably be rereading at least parts of all the Harry Potter books. -----signature----- "Not till the moon falls. Not till the world ends."

	I finally finished Midnight Tides. Prolonged it for 5 reading weeks, not bad! But now I don't have any more Erikson books to read, at least until next year. Triple Zero is up next, then Daughters of Ancients . . . then I'm going to reread Gardens of the Moon. I'll understand it so much better now! -----signature----- The Brits gave the world Doctor Who We owe them

	Almost finished with Titus Groan, the first of Mervyn Peake’s celebrated Gormenghast trilogy, which has thus far been a wondrous experience. Peake’s prose is full of beautiful, poetic depth that constantly elicits a cerebral tension inherent in the lives of all who inhabit the labyrinthine castle setting. Readers most familiar with modern epic fantasists like Martin and Erikson may be too turned off by Peake’s penchant for dwelling on intricate description over overt movements of action, but nonetheless Titus Groan stands as a genre-creating masterpiece defined by a gritty, realistic setting filled with characters struggling to exist in a world where isolation, decay, and the quest for power overshadow basic needs of human longing.

	I made it to the library finally and picked up the next books in my Turtledove series. So I am currently on Rulers of the Darkness. -----signature----- "The ability to speak does not make you intelligent" -- Qui-Gon

	Well I finished Chronciles of Narnia Book 7: The Last Battle and am at crossroads. Do I go back and finish with Jules Verne's Mysterious Island (which, believe it or not, is kinda dull) or do I drop the Sci-fi fantasy habit for a bit and finally read my copies of Huckleberry Fin and Treasure Island? -----signature----- Satan's not in a guitar pick, he's inside all of us.

	Now that I finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince yesterday, I will be starting Eragon tomorrow. I bought the books a little while ago with great anticipation. -----signature----- Host of CBC (Chapter by Chapter) for PT, CT and SFF forums and Box Office Game ROTS-DS Chapter 3: Seeds of Rebellion FOTR Chapter 29: Bilbo's Gifts TSS Chapter 17: Facts and Feathers (8/24/07)
