    Ender: too much of a good thing?

    Fantasy is all about new or alterante worlds Sci Fi sometimes is about how to get to those new worlds. Of course the two genres cross over from time to time. I'll admit though some Sci Fi can be very boring to fantasy fans who don't like science, therories, or numbers. Hyperion by Don...

    Nine princes to Amber - Roger Zelazny

    Yea. The first part of the series is all about Prince Corwin of Amber. You just got to love him. What a great character. You really can't tell if he is good or evil. He has so many enemies and pisses so many people off that you got to think he has an evil streak to him yet he is charismatic...

    Why is Harry Potter so popular?

    Personaly I couldn't read Harry Potter. I found it boring. I like the movies though to no end. I think Harry Potter is so popular because the publishing company Scholastics has a great marketing department. I should know. I almos ended up working for them.

    Nine princes to Amber - Roger Zelazny

    Not reading the first book is probably the problem. I woulnd't know what to make out of all of it without reading the first book or reading it out of sequence. The books in the series are very short. Each one should take you no more than 3 days to read. Roger is one guy who does not mince...

    Foundation

    Asimov is a hard read. I've read his foundation series long ago. I remember I reather liked it but I needed a break every once in a while just to digest it. I don't remember much except for the mule and the other foundation of poeple who coerced the whole fate of humanity. Of course in the...

    Some of the classics I've read...

    It's funny I'm also obssesed with hell. I think many authors and people are more fascinated by hell than heaven. Clive Barker for example seems to constantly reinvent hell. If I was god I would have promoted him to be the new master of hell. When you think about there is only so much one...
