@Plowking If you are tired with the conventional novels, maybe you should have a look at Kim Stanley Robinson's books. He makes series as well as novels and short stories, a lot of SF but not only. The last (and only thus far, unfortunately) I read from him is The Years of Rice and Salt and I liked the way it makes us think, and the originality of his work. The other books from him seem to have the same good aspects. I've put some of his titles on my wishlist. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
@Gal & Killerzzz The eye of the Dragon was written as a tale for kids & teens. I don't mean it's a bad thing, but it's amazing how King became a kind of stereotype; both people who like or don't like his kind of writing have strong pre-conceived ideas/expectations of his books. That way, The Eye of the Dragon was read by much more adults/late teenagers than kids, to whom it was originally intended...
The latest book I read was the sixth Harry Potter. I loved it and it made me dig back to read the 4th and 5th ones again... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
