Thanks for your note on the Golden Compass. I have not read those books. I just wondered what other people were thinking since there is all this talk about the author being an atheist. We do seem to have similar reading interests: sci fi, fantasy, history, etc. I have read Patrick O'Brien's books, LOTR, etc.

My Dad was a sailor so I spent a lot of time on boats when I was a kid, but it's done me no good at all! I even studied the diagram of the boat to help me - but never mind. I'm just enjoying the book. The character studies are very acute. And I love anything historical.

Too many books, too little time! I'm actually reading Patrick O'Brien now, for the very first time. I'm really enjoying it - though I skip most of the stuff about the top-rigging etc

Thought I'd come in and say "hi" since I see your name on so many books I like! I'm also a lover of fantasy and historical fiction - I'm a sucker for anything with a bit of bodice-ripping in it :)

Hello, Aprillee--I saw your recommendation of Dunnett at another site. We're like drug pushers, aren't we? "C'mon, just read the first 100 pages of Game of Kings! You'll be hooked!"[g]

Hi aprillee,
Thanks for the great review of Emma Bull's territory in the Favorite Fantasy group. The "what are you reading" thread has gotten so long that I'm having trouble posting to it! Great shelf:) I've never heard of Georgette Heyer...I'm going to check out some of her books. Thanks:)

I thought you might have created your avitar. I can certainly picture her as a character is a sci-fi or fantasy novel!
You have inspired me to try Dunnett's The Game of Kings.
Many thanks,
Linda
