fav. track : Chris Cowie - Reaktor

I used to read fantasy novels when i was young (like 12), and i don't remember much of them. I read Tolkiens LOTR trilogy and the hobbit, and also some i robert jordans series.

Now a days i don't get that much time to read, but when i do, i love to read stuff from thomas harris (the red dragon, silence of the lambs and hannibal, they're SO much better than the movies), dean koontz and stephen king. I guess i love crime and supenatural stories Anyone else that like these genres?

Peace

The movie Part I is coming out near end of DECEMBER!! Lord of the Rings looks real good, but some actor casting I find questionable.

JRR Tolkien IS not the best, his genre is one of the best classics, epic fantasy.

And you cant compare Tom Clancy to JRR Tolkien, they're not in the same ballpark, not in the same sport, not EVEN friggin in the same league.

same level and even better.. Jordan is superb.. ever heard of Fred Saberhagen??

phaze your about to hit 400!!! hehe=) .. how bout, the trance addict bookworm? ... haha, ya right...how lame..
and ive read all the dragonlance novels upto the 5th age..everything after sux!! (chronicles fucking ruled!!)

chronicles ownnnz. it is THEE best part of dragonlance.

umm, you must be on crack man.. jordan is good, but in time , youll begin to see that he is really nothign compared to the master of fantasy, tolkien. tolkien started it all, and i doubt therell ever be anybody like him again.. he made up over 7 differen languages, think of that, i dont see robert jordan making up 'trolloc' or 'forsaken' languages .. no comparison..and ive read that set like a million times.. like a year ago i stoped reading them and whent on to other books.

even though this book is out of hte fantasy category, Catcher in the Rye hsa to be one of my favorite books..that book is like.. so fucking awesome.

well tiem for hw, im outa here.. peace.
