Well, finished Knight of the Word and really liked it. Yes, it was very predictable, but still a very fun read. The book for me was never a question of what, but of how. I mean, you know the heroes will find their way, that all will turn out well, but you aren't sure how it will happen. I really liked how the ending turned out and I'm very curious as to whats going to happen in the third book.

I really enjoyed the third book. Things seemed really crazy in it!!!!! I hope you like it. In other news, I read Chester Brown's I Never Liked You (crap) and the first story in the Shadowmoor anthology ("Ode to Mistmeadow Jack"). And dammit, that setting is amazing!!!!! I want to keep reading....heck, I want to make my own setting like it. I want to play in it! (I guess there's always good ol' fan fiction  ) |

Now, is the Shadowmoor book so good because you read it after something that is so bad?? Nah. from what you told me, it sounds awesome. I think I'll pick it up after I finish with the Orphans trilogy.

Well, I've started reading Dust and let me tell you, I'm only about 50 pages in and its reading very well. The character Jacob Dust, what little I've seen of him, is awesome.

Woo, just finished reading Interworld. Excellent book. Wondrous read. Its short, but not in an unfinished way, and I highly recommend it. Hmmm, makes me wonder though. If there are thousands of Joey's. Of different genders. What happens if two of them hook up? Would that be incest or narcissism? Or does the fact that they come from different dimensions enough of a genetic break? |

Well, considering that a double is the only one who'd be able to really understand the kind of life you live. If you're team mates then you'd probably end up saving each others life a whole lot. I'm not saying that it would be common, but when your in a life or death situation with someone, a deep sense of trust and loyalty can develop. And there is no reason a sense of commodary can't develop into something more. Not to mention it can get lonely on patrol and a (wo)man has needs |

I haven't been reading a whole lot lately (mostly magazines) but I am planning on reading Dalamar the Dark by Nancy Varian Berberick. It sounds pretty good, and I enjoy reading her books.

I finally finished Dalamar the Dark and it was crap! The ending was ok, but not worth the struggle to get through the rest of the book! I don't recommend it to anyone, not even hard-core Dragonlance fans. There are way better Dragonlance books out there (as well as way better books by Nancy Varian Berberick!)
