Let me know how that series is. Have not read any CS Lewis except for the Chronicals of Narnia (An amazing series, love reading it) and I'm kinda curious as to what some of the other books are like.

missbehaviour - i've never heard of anyone else reading (let alone re-reading) the mists of avalon. i love that book. i've probably read it a dozen times.

i'm currently re-reading the fountainhead by ayn rand, and reading An Unexpected Light; Travels in Afghanistan by Jason Elliot.

I just finished reading the Forest House too. Read that one? It's one of the Prequels to Mists of Avalon (which is, btw, my favorite book of all time. I've lost count of the number of times I've read it).

Now I'm reading Porno by Irvine Welsh.

all quiet on the western front - erich maria remarque

for like the millionth time

Sariel · #**291** (**permalink**) Jun 12, 04

Now reading book 1 of the Otherland series - City of Golden Shadow...

Now, I am not really a sci-fi fan, but this is an amazing series of books.

lithe · #**292** (**permalink**) Jun 14, 04

yeah, i've read the forest house and the lady of avalon (i believe that's what it's called...?) i've read all of them numerous times, but yeah, the mists of avalon is great. i was obsessed with arthurian legend for quite some time, when i was planning on going on exchange the university of sydney tempted me because it offers a course in arthurian fiction. :(

Ack NOOOOOOOO after book three it all went to hell.. ie when he started to draw it out :( beautiful idea, wonderful universe, awesome characters.. untill book 4/5/6/7..... etc

pity too.. just gets predictable in the extreme.. also his character development sux hairy ass.. and he seems a bit try hard feminist.. every female hard and sniffley.. how imaginative. Anyway i never noticed all that till the story went away.. (book 7 i think bowl of winds?)

patooi :^)
