Let's see... Terry Pratchett's Discworld is showing quite a lot of promise... rather, it's apparent that it's awesome. I mean a lot of promise in the race to the top. And I don't know where the top is, which complicates things.

The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby has become one of my favourites, though. To avoid naming any names, the death of the person alluded to at the very very end came close to bringing a tear forth. My left eye was a little moist, but it's extremely sensitive, and will cry for anything, even if I'm not feeling depressed to the point of tears but merely a bit regretful or melancholy. It'd probably get moist at the sight of a piece of chocolate being wasted. I think both eyes would cry at that point, because you just don't waste chocolate. And oh yeesh, I'm rambling. AHHH-gain.

To get back on topic, a book containing not only characters that make you want to cheer for them, but characters you'd like to kick in the teeth with steel-toed boots and a character you want to cheer on as that character kills him or herself, is a well-written book indeed.

David Gemmell's Legend is another good one.

I need to read Hitchhiker's...

And other such sad and sorry tales. Ah, alliteration.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I said I'd read Ender's Game-I'll do that before Hitchhiker's, yes.

*bursts into tears* No, piece of chocolate! You were so YOUNG!

Put down the Hitchhiker's and pick up the Ender's Game, you.

I'm in the middle of Gaston Leroux' The Phantom of the Opera, for the second time in my life. The first time was too sudden. Or rather, too forgotten. I've also been thumbing through Selected Poems of Langston Hughes, because they are thumbgoodness.

My favorite book is still J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan, though, as it has been for years and years. It's charming and silly, and we likes it.

Lets not forget them LOTR books. I just saw the first movie again and I have an overwhelming urge to read the book so I can remember how it REALLY happened.

Then put down Ender's Game and pick up HHGG. Then put down HHGG and pick up Ender's Game. Then put down...

Calisthenics among the stacks. :mrgreen:

But there's plenty of time for Orson Scott Card later. Life is short! Live for now! Read Douglas Adams!
...come to think of it, I haven't read Ender's Game either. But I just started collidge! T_T So busy...
