    Are all the books set in the same universe?

    Yeah, pretty much. They venture elsewhere but Midkemia is the location for pretty much all of them (apart from the Empire trilogy). The quality does get crappier though. :p

    Might just finish the Riftwar series first then and see how I find it.

    I read back when I was a teenager. Magician was definitely good, but the next two were ridiculous, all super saiyan power level 9000 like. I mostly remember the last book for a mindblowingly wrong blurb at the back of the book, like the dude who wrote it didn't even read it.

    Still haven't finished Hitch 22. Can't bear to read more than one or two pages a day now that it's up to the chapter about Mesopotamia i.e. his justifications for the war in Iraq. Totally lost interest for weeks.

    Anyone got a good book to recommend? Haven't read one in years. I usually just read the paper and e-articles.

    I like conspiracy shit, which has twists etc.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the Nelson Mandela biography that I read a couple of months ago.

    If you don't mind authors that take massive liberties with facts then I guess Dan Brown's novels fit the bill. Good for a weeks read or so.

    Dan Brown didn't take liberties with facts, though. He merely appended myths onto myths.

    Haha, yeah that's a much better way of putting it.

    It's horseshit btw. No offence, 99.

    Last book I read was the Dave Mustaine autobiography. Awesome read about the life of an extreme metal loving guitar player. How this guy survived after the ridiculous amounts of drug and alcohol abuse is amazing really.
     
  15. 99* JJ Ritchie

    Haha, none taken. I don't think it's a great book by any stretch, but it is an easy way to waste a few hours each day.

    the outsiders.

    I don't think anyone has put it as well as that.

    I will be reading the hunger games soon.

    The official Harry Potter ebooks are out on the Pottermore site, for anyone that's interested. GBP 38 for the set sounds reasonable.

    In a major departure from conventional practice, she's opted to watermark the copyright page instead of wrapping the ebooks in DRM.

    Men in White. Up to the late 80s
