Oh, I loved the Crucible. Smile

And I used to read Redwall obsessively. I stopped just after Triss came out. I think I read all of them up to Triss. I think my favorite was probably Pearls of Lutra.

Wow, Julie, we're so similar. It's like we're extremely dissimilar-looking twins. Surprised

Yeah, after Triss, I realized that every single Redwall book is exactly the same.

Ah, I read Redwall last summer and I enjoyed it. I wish I could find the direct sequel. The local bookstore has every book in the series except Mossflower.

Hopefully I can finish Eldest by the end of the weekend. I'm on a pretty compelling part anyway.

Oh, is that the new sequel from Paulini? I really enjoyed the first one. If my lame-ass english teacher doesn't assign us 5 more books, I might need to pick it up.

I also need to finish the last 2 books (well, a book and a short story) of the Hitchhikers' Guide series.

Well, my copy that you saw last night is pretty much the exact same way. I think the sentences in your copy may have been slightly longer but the sentences in mine are still pretty lengthy. Are you supposed to read all of Part 1 or do you actually have to read both parts. If it's the latter, that's absolutely ridiculous. I started to get bored out of my mind around the end of the first part. I think Cervantes got a bit tired of writing about strictly Don Quixote and decided to go on these multi-chapter long novellas about something that really isn't that pertinant to the main plot.

They're still good, though. Had I known they were irrelevant to the plot, I woulda skipped 'em and come back to read 'em after I had finished the story.

Eragon and Eldest were good, so hopefully the movie won't suck.

I can decide which I like better. Both are plenty decent. I can tell that he had a little more fun writing the first one since it's the foundation for the story. However, the second one has a little more poetic language in it and covers Eragon's training which is pretty interesting.

Yes. Yes I am. It seems that Xaqwais is the only one around here that could figure it out. Well, I have to give him praise.

How does the word writing make you think that he's Christopher Paolini? Neutral
