Books by C. Paolini

I just have to say that I've read 18 times (really counted) the LOTR, 6 times the silmarillion, 3 times the hobbit, and also the Unfinished Tales, and many books about Middle Earth, By J.R.R. Tolkien. Of course, it's unnecessary to say it's my favourite author! :mrgreen:. By the way, I have to say that I'm also interested in C.S. Lewis "Narnia's Chronicles", but at the moment I'm completely absorbed by Colleen McCullough's series about Rome, from Caius Marius times to Julius Caesar's death,.. they're just amazing! I strongly recommand its reading!

¡Salud!

I've read Eragon and Eldest and think their not too bad.
Since you like the first three Myst games, you'll really like IV and V. While your on them don't forget URU-Ages Beyond Myst.

Well, I liked Eragon (so did my wiife), so Eldest is definitely on the list to buy. Looks like a mixed review here, so I will let people know what I think.

And just to keep the topic going, I have always been a SF fan, Robert Heinlein is my handos down favorite author. My wife got me into Fantasy, and I have enjoyed the LOTR movies, still only read the hobbitt, and have enjoyed Terry Brooks and Piers Anthony. I am currently re-reading the Narnia series and am thouroughly enjoying reliving some books from childhood.

Surprisingly, while my wife and I both enjoy fantasy now, she has still not gottin into SSF, but we are both Stephen King fans! Anybody else a Fantasy or SF fan and also enjoy King?

To answer KCWs question I have to say definetly. When it comes to Sci-Fi and Fantasy I've read almost everything.I've read everything by King.
An excellant though often forgotten Sci-Fi author is Ted Sturgeon.
If your shocked at the price of new books, find a used bookstore.Many will take your old books in as trade. You can often pay as little as 25 cents per book this way. BTW, the bookstores around here consider anything over 6 months as old. You can get pretty much new paperbacks for nothing.

I'm not a fan of King's long works, but I really enjoy his short fiction, I think it's better than his novels.

Heinlein is excellent as is Jack Williamson. Frank Herbert and the Dune novels are once a year must reads.

The Aubrey-Maturin novels(aka Master and Commander series) by Patrick O'Brian are the equivilent of literary crack.
