welll, I read while I was away (yes I know, shock and gasp) and the books I attempted to read were the lord of the rings books

they were, shockingly, better than the movies. Anyways, yes they were pretty good... except I didn't like Frodo, he was a bit of an ass to Sam.

Did you read the Silmarillion? The first two stories are easy to read, but the main one is simply impossible to read if you're not patient enough to go to the map, look up the places, go to the glossary, look up the names, go back to the story... Anyway, I liked it

I recently read this trilogy. While I enjoyed the rich and detailed universe described by Hamilton, I absolutely hated the ending. Also, there is something in his style of writing that I cannot really connect to. I've read Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained before that and think they are somewhat although the same criticism still applies.

But now to some books that I like. As you may have guessed, I'm into science fiction, at least for some time now. I do not have a single favorite book, so I will name a few authors I like.

I really enjoyed Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy although it has some lenghts. But it also has very well described characters and a whole bunch of interesting ideas in a realistic setting.

Iain M. Banks is one of the authors I love for their style of writing.

Alastair Reynolds, what I've read so far. Richard Morgan.

Oh well, these are all more modern writers. I guess I still have to read some of the classics.

If any bit of scenery or description I didnt understand came up, I just skipped a few pages, until there was a conversation going on.
So in my mind Mordor is right next to the Shire....

Smart, but that way you would read a Tolkien's book in just an hour or so... Skipping all the descriptions and scenery would kill all the magic (though it would make the book a lot more interesting).

It took me more than three months to finish it, reading it in every spare moment at school (yeah, I couldn't find anything more entertaining than reading a book, until I bought a palm).

Ahh well, I saw the movies, So I kinda get the idea of what they're talking about.

Three months? holy cow....
