DarthTex Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 ... Seriously, how old are you? We all assume that you're ancient, but we've no way of knowing...In the vernacular of the local young whipper-snappers, I'm "older than dirt" Finally, after years of hard work I am the Supreme Sith Warlord!

Eagle Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I´ve started reading "Death in the rice-fields" by Peter Sholl-Latour, a former reporter who lived in indochina for a long time and wrote down how the war there started in the 50´s. But I haven´t much time for reading so I didn´t came much far. But it´s quite interesting. Who cares at all?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender_16 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 So, I've recently finished reading War of the Spider Queen a 6 part book series set in the Forgotten Realms. (And since finishing it have resumed the New Sith Order.) Â I'm still reading more Realms novels but not at the break-neck pace I was holding before.

Only 4 more to go!!! But Ive been slacking in my reading with the heavy load of books I have to read for classes, ranging from the French Revolution to the natives of Grenada.

DarthTofu Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I see they are by R. A. Salvatore. Must be good! Only thing I've read by him was Vector Prime, and I really didn't care for it. I just finished The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, which is written from the perspective of a fifteen-year-old autistic boy. Very good read, though the language is very strong, so it's not a good read-to-little-kids story (Tex... Just shut up. I already know what you're going to say.) The other book I read was The Dark Glory War by Michael A. Stackpole. A couple of years old, but a great read. The Dragon Crown Trilogy is also good (TDGW is the prequal to the trilogy which I'd already read on account of starting with the first book in the trilogy, not knowing that there was a prequal) Very dark book that eats at you, but also a very good one. The last book in the trilogy is more uplifting, though the rest are kind of downers. 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Well I got Allegiance yesterday and finished it this morning and I loved it. It was a very good read and I liked that it was set during the Galactic Civil War. Anything about the Empire is welcome by me, as there is way too much about the damned New Republic. - Grand Moff Conway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Sorry to say SOCL but Thrawn is not mentioned at all. I expect that Zahn figures Outbound Flight gave us our Thrawn quota- little does he know. I admit I was also hoping for an appearance of the Chiss warrior, but no luck. Still I highly recommend this book. It rocks. - Grand Moff Paul Conway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthTofu Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I'm about 3/4 of the way through [iEnder's Game[/i]. Bloody amazing book! I'm glad I asked folks whether or not I should read Ender's Shadow since that would have ruined the best part so far in the book for me... Ah! Such a great read- I recommend it to any and all! 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitth_raw_nuruodo Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I've found Orson Scott Card to be an excellent author. If you like the Ender series, read Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus next. Currently, I'm on a Stephen King kick. I'm reading Pet Sematary right now. When I finish that one I'll be moving on to the fourth book in the Dark Tower series. Chaos, Panic, Disorder, Destruction.....My work here is done.  Grand AKmiralCommander-in-Chief of BEAK Forces(CINCBEAK) BEAK Imperium"To BEAK is Divine!"

DarthTofu Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I just finished with Ender's Game. The list of books in the series doesn't stick Ender's Shadow in there until about five lines down- considerably more than I thought (I always assumed it was the sequal). However, since Shadow is all I have on hand, I will likely read it next. According to Wikipedia it's part of the other "Bean Quartet," and the first of them. Ender's Game was the first in the "Ender Quartet." Hopefully it'll be as good. 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Towers were good too, though the end of the last book was a bit...lacking if you ask me.

Defender_16 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I'm trying to figure out which book in my pile of Forgotten Realms novels to read next. I bought practically all of them that could be ordered before my discount card ran out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOCL Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I'm about to finish Jedi Shadow, which is a compilation of the first three Young Jedi Knight books. Now, before you say anything, yes, Young Jedi Knights is that Star Wars kids book series from the mid-nineties. I'm reading it because the characters, especially Jacen, Jaina, and Tenel Ka are important later, namely in the latter NJO, Dark Nest, and Legacy novels. Besides, they're not so bad.

Besides, they're not so bad. I read 'em when I was in elementary school. In retrospect the plots aren't terribly good, but they tie in too much with the EU to ignore them. My solution: Look 'em up on Wookiepedia to avoid reading them if you don't enjoy the book. I'll likely get a plot summary of Troy Dennings's books in the Legacy of the Force series since his style is so Rambo-esque and childish. ("Blaster bolts!" Ugh.) Edit: Ender's Game fans will like this. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a169/DarthTofu/pun.jpg It almost hurt to laugh at it...Primarily because I think I should have thought of that joke while I was reading the book... 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitth_raw_nuruodo Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I finished Pet Sematary on Monday. That afternoon I made a visit to the library. I picked up the fourth and fifth books in the Dark Tower series. I am currently on page 160 of Wizard and Glass, the fourth book. The only reason I'm not further is I had to work last night. (Tonight? No, it's after midnight...)Â @Rob: I'll keep that in mind. Is it a scary one, or is it just creepy? I thought that parts of the end of Pet Sematary were a little creepy, if that's any indication for you. Chaos, Panic, Disorder, Destruction.....My work here is done.

I thought that parts of the end of Pet Sematary were a little creepy, if that's any indication for you. Its not his scary or creepy in the least. Basicly, a plauge hits the US, and like 99% of the population is killed by it, and there are two factions of humans who create two camps, and eventually go to war. There's a lot more to it, but I dont wanna spoil to much. But its a really great read.

Defender_16 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 So I finally decided to start reading; "The Wizards" Â Four stand alone novels about some of the most powerful wizards of the land. (The current one I'm reading doesn't have a wiki article yet.) Â ...ok I just wrote one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
