Good Reads =3

Redwall- All 17- Sure the plots sort of repetitive- but It still is awsome!

The Sight- Who DOESN'T love freakishly awsome wolves with powers?

The Guardians of Ga'Hoole- Short but sweet.

Warriors- LOVE. It's about wild cats- but with meaning.

Harry Potter- Awsome after the 1st book =D

Well. Thats all for now.

Any books a young reader would like? =x

I would put Harry Potter up there aswell? Who wouldn't want to follow the adventure of a magical young boy who always seems to cheat death?

LOTR (if you can get through the beginning), Series of Unfortunate Events, Eragon, Watership Down, Animal Farm.

I've read LOTR (I didn't care for it. Was good-but not to my liking.) I'm currently re-reading Watership Down. Unfortunete Events are eh.

Animal Farm? Never heard of it.

I cannot believe you rate shadowmancer. I thought it was poo. One of the worst books I have ever read. But thats only my opinion.

I would reccommend A short history of nearly everything. By bill bryson.

For some great reads, read all of the 79 current Star Wars novels, and the entire Robotech series which is 21 books.
Those are some darn good books!

I dont understand your post? Are you saying that bryson's short history is readable or shadowmancer??

I just felt that the book had no substance, and virtually no story. Could have been so much better. I felt the author got a little lost in what he wanted to achieve.

The Wheel of Time Series is great :) I love Robert Jordan. His books are awesome :D

Wed Mar 30, 2005 3:22 pm

Try Diana Wynne Jones, starting with her Christomanci series. ;)

My... my god... You've never heard of Animal Farm??!?!?!!!

:o

*has a copy right here, but it's falling apart >.<*

Hey Jan, we agree- I though Shadowmancer was awful.
