Saw your giant books of DOOOM comment on Laurie's post. Have you read the Sword of Truth series? Or the Shanarra series? I think most people would consider those books of doom, but 600+ seems normal to me XD I'd never hit 100 reading real books of the sort I read

You still have half of the Artemis Fowl series to go too. Have you read Gregory Maguire's stuff? His Oz ones are my favorites, and the others not as good. And Arturo Perez-Reverte is a favorite author. Club Dumas involves The Musketeers a bit, and his Captain Alatriste series is set during the Inquisition. I read alot of historical ficion, classics and some forensic mysteries, if you've interest in any of those.

I have! Only this year. My brother saw the 'Legend of the Seeker' show on TV, and then found the books...he read two of them and I read them all. XD

Yeah, most of the books I read are giant fat things. I can read a standard 300page paperback in a day, if I don't have anything else to do, but I'm having to read shorter books, simply because I will run out of time.

I've read Terry Brooks' "Magic Kingdom For Sale" and its sequels, but not the Shanarra stuff. I'll have to look into them. :D

*adds all others to to-read list*

Thank you so much! &hearts

Sounds like you read like me. I started SoT last year because of the show too, and they are like crack XD Working on Confessor now. Aiming to finish it and Debt of Bones before I hit a year since finishing the first book of the series.

Most people go O_O when I tell them how fast I read. *highfives*

I really need to re-read the last three. I was in a hurry to find out how things ended, and I hadn't read Faith of the Fallen or Naked Empire yet, so I didn't understand how serious the whole belief system of the Empire was. I skipped a lot of Richard's motivational speeches. XD

I haven't found Debt of Bones yet, but need. to. read.

I've now read Debt of Bones! I liked it. It had no where near the depth of the other books, but it was good. Definitely more short story than novel.
