    Tim, you are going to love "Best Served Cold!" It's classic Abercrombie, gritty, intense, dark, and enthralling!!! I can't wait for the Kindle price to drop for his latest book "The Heroes." I was saddened to hear your comments about "A Wise Man's Fear" as I was looking forward to reading it because like you I loved the first book. Oh well, it isn't like I don't have plenty of books to read on my TBR list, so many books to read, so little time :)!

    Tim, I wholeheartedly agree with your comments about "Graceling" as I found it to be tedious also. I had trouble finishing it and in retrospect wish I hadn't wasted my time reading it!

    Tim, "Tales of the Dying Earth" by Jack Vance is perhaps the quintessential collection of sci/fi fantasy/adventure stories ever written by one of the most revered and awarded authors to write in this genre. The words that come to mind when trying to describe his incredible achievement are: Wondrous, magnificent, epic, spellbinding, dazzling, exquisite, inventive, wordsmithery, magical, elegant, enthralling, engrossing, imaginative, original, mellifluous pacing, atmospheric backdrops, transformational, fantastical storylines! I read the first story in this collection when i was 11 years old and the others in the ensuing years. Over the years I have read the collection over 20 times, each time reflecting on its life changing impact on my love for reading. Just imagine being able to transform written words from your minds eye into life-like visions and you will then understand the sensual impact of Jack Vance's brilliance! Ironically, because of its unique qualities I have always been protective and therefore reluctant to expose this truly fabulous literary experience to others for fear of diminishing its value to me...a misguided supposition I know, but true never-the-less. So, if you want to share my journey into the unknown and wander through the beautiful worlds as penned by a master scribe then you will read this incredible collection of stories and revel in their beatific perfection. Storytelling at its best; a masterpiece...

    Tim, I absolutely loved "Ender's Game" and think you will too. It's imaginative and original as well as being brilliantly scribed by Orson Scott Card. I also really enjoyed "The Left Hand of God" by Paul Hoffman. READ ON...

    Tim, HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you and yours. A friend recommended a fantasy/adventure series to me that I haven't heard about but based on his enthusiasm I have added it to my TBR list. The series is titled "The Riyria Revelation" by Michael Sullivan. I haven't read it yet but I intend to soon. READ ON...

    Tim, check out "The Left Hand of God" by Paul Hoffman. It's one of the best dystopian YA fantasy/adventure stories I've read all year!

    That's cool. Personally I loved the third book and thought it the best of the trilogy. Had the right mix of lore, action, magic and mystery for me! Have you read any others by Feist?

    I see you read The Way of Shadows. I am planning on reading this and I notice it is a favourite of yours. I love fantasy and sci fi books so I'm looking forward to reading it. Are the other books in the Trilogy as good?

    Tim, check out "Pirate Latitudes" by Michael Crichton, and for some laugh-out-loud but somewhat raunchy coming-of-age humor "Carter Finally Gets It" by Brent Crawford, and "Youth in Revolt" by C.D. Payne. Enjoy and READ ON...

    Tim hi, I've come across a story that is so exeptional I had to write you about it. It's titled "Nathan's Run" by John Gilstrap and I think you will find it as moving and inspiring as I did. While a fictional account it is an emotional coming-of-age journey that will pull at your heartstrings and give you pause to think about the power of the human spirit. Enjoy and READ ON...

    Tim, I absolutely agree with your comments about the Night Angel Trilogy, I'm totally enthralled with the characters, realistic midevil descriptions, and the fast pacing of the storyline. I'm finding it hard to put down. Brent Weeks is an amazing storyteller and I'm looking forward to reading more of his work. Merry Christmas to you and yours and READ ON...
