I just got done reading Stone of Tears (again), the second book of what is now an eleven part series called the Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind. For those of you who are ignorant in these matters, I urge you - proceed to your nearest bookstore and purchase Wizard's First Rule. If you are unsatistfied with the contents, I will refund you the full price of the book, no questions asked.*
This renewed desire to read all things fantastical and magic was born after July 21st, (which I am sure you know to be Harry Potter Day) when I consumed Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. What should I read next? I am left with a lingering desire to immerse myself in lands filled with mythical beasts and the continued battle of good versus evil (may the good spirits protect us). Perhaps I will go ahead and buy Blood of the Fold (again) after having left most of the books half way across the world.
Or should I venture forth into unknown territory in order to feed the beast within? I do not wish to be disappointed...the buying of an atrocious book is a grave error that cannot be undone.
Perhaps a little science fiction (can you say Asimov?) to whet the palate. Maybe a short foray into the Dark Tower series for a little comfort-read. Then a sweet treat of a Discworld novel. So many books, so little time...
I need something to read. Something new.

hey there, if you are into that stuff try reading the 'His Dark Materials' series. Written by British novelist Philip Pullman and published in 1995. Unputdownable I promise!
I hear there's even a movie coming out later this year.
About the books left half way accross the world - let's make a plan for closing the gap. Prioritise and we'll see what we can do.
For some reason, I haven't been getting comments in my email...
Littlegirlost, thank you for the suggestion. If I can find them this weekend, I will read a few next week.
Ima, we will discuss.
