I also like the books of Katherine Kerr . A few weeks ago I had the possibility to buy her first 4 books for a giving-away-price <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
And in the Jean M Auel books I have to agree with most of you . I had to read for school a book and the first one was on the list of books we could choose and because it was the only book I had at home I readed it . I wasn't intrested In fantasy novels yet so I was a little bit suspicious about that book <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> . The first book wasn't bad at all (but the revieuw I had to write was bad *gg* ) . Afther finishing it I readed the other two and a year ago I also finished her last book wich I though again was better then the two in the middle but still now in my top 100 of favorite books though .
In general I didn't like the books we had to read for school , those were absolutly different from what I wanted to read . For Example "Parfum" from I don't know the name of the author anymore <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> but it is fanous book so I gess that someone will know it . I don't like reading dark books wich doens't mean that there are bad but there are nothing for me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> (I also doesn't like reading Stephen King books too ) .
Another book wich I will never forget was About a young girl who falls into Prostitution and sexual abuse ("Het verotte leven van Floortje Bloem") . I think that I was a little bit to young to read such a detailed book . It was also a book we had to read for school and I gess that I was with my 14 years ways to young and naive for such a book .I really couldn't sleep for days after reading it .
Yes in general school books were a very bad and negative experience for me , I am still wondering that reading is still one of my favorite hobbies afther all those cruel books I had to read in school .
