I probably shouldnt have read this post, since I havent read those books yet...
| No, probably not... Quote: |
Hey now, I like Dickens. He can come across as a little self-absorbed, but so do all authors, if you keep an eye out for it. Not one author can write anything on any topic without referring to a state of self-importance for at least a sentence or two
| Oh, I agree, but i find that he rambles way too much...(he was payed by the word...go figure) I just don't find his stuff interesting... if you do, more power to you... Quote: Quote: |
As for salvator and Drizzt. There are lots and lots of books on him...
| Too many. He's a good character, but there is such a thing as overkill...
| I agree, I just want them all to live happily ever after...Is that too much to ask?
Bless,
Brandon

| Believe it or not, Mein Kampf is a decent read.
Even though it is written by a mad man...
I found it quite interesting...

Brandon

| I am currently reading the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy series, and how to be a villain. All are very good books.

| I just finished "Homeland" of the Dark Elf triology by Salvadore, and I loved it. I have "Exile", and as soon as I finish that I'm going back to the library to get some other books about Drizzt Do'Urden. Entertaining reading.
