Well Now, I was wondering what does everyone around here read. What is your favourite book? I liked "Do Androids Dream of electric sheep" the film that inspired Blade Runner. Okay it''s not to full of action but it explain a lot. I''m reading something called Krondor series at the moment, seeems interesting so far. Anyone. STVOY Mega Moh Mine!!

Dop you mean Krondor as in Betrayel at Krondor, and Return to Krondor, as in the games?

I love the Dragon King Trilogy by Stephen R. Lawhead, great books.

The 2 Kings Quest books (Floating Castle, Kingdom of Sorrow) were pretty good, it''s ashame they stopped making them.

Well Now,

The book is called "Krondor The Betrayal". I''ve only read 20 pages. Dark elves the group of mysterious mages known only as the six, good stuff. I''t says on the back it is a game too, never sen it though. Also the Hero Quest short stories are quite good.

It''s cool how everybody can enjoy the Chronicles of Narnia even though they are written by a Christian author and are metaphorical for Christ.

Well Now,

The Hobbit, now theres a good read. I haven''t read Lord of The Rings yet as someone suggested I read The Hobbit first. I plan to though, very soon. But I want to finish the book I am reading first. Only one book at a time for me.

STVOY

Mega Moh Mine!!

"The Lord of the Rings" was fantastic. I read it once, maybe twice, I can''t remember really. I have fond memories of the ride to Bree, the journey through the Mines of Moria, and Shelob''s Lair.

Man, that was a long time ago, and I still remember!

Betrayal At Krondor
really old sierra game, still kickass though.

its free now, too!
get it here!

As for the book, frankly, it reads waaaay too much like a computer game, and is considered by most one of Feist''s worst books, heh.

I liked it, but his other works are MUCH better. I suggest you read all his books, especially in this order:

Riftwar Saga:
Magician: Apprentice
Magician: Master
Silverthorn
A Darkness at Sethanon

Riftwar Legacy:
Krondor: The Betrayal
Krondor: The Assasins (hardcover only)
The Tear of the Gods (not released yet, heh)

miscellaneous books:
Prince of the Blood
The King''s Buccaneer

The Serpentwar Saga:
Shadow of a Dark Queen
Rise of a Merchant Prince
Rage of a Demon King
Shards of a Broken Crown


If you don''t read the riftwar series first, you''ll be lost through almost all of the other books. I started with the serpent war... and i didn''t get it at all, until i read the riftwar.

Feist is a genious
