Besides, i know a few books by American authors that have the same one. Must be a human thing.

I said I was *wondering* about it as a trait, not that it *was* one! :P

And I can't say I've seen that style much outside of said authors in my previous post but then I'm not the most well read of lit students. ;). I'm often the plebian in the conversation as far as that goes.

Lol. Whereas i can start my own library quite easily and have something for everyone. Seriously, all my books don't even come close to fitting on my shelves. I need more shelves; the things are all over the place!

Right now, i'm reading Maria V. Snyder's Glass Trilogy (The Opal Cowan Novels). I liked the Study Trilogy, and i'm waiting for the 2nd book to arrive (ordered 2nd and 3rd, guess which came first ¬.¬' ). so far it's not too bad.

I have a fair collection of books. Haven't read most of them yet but I still have them. ;). I keep debating a purge of the ones I've had for a couple decades and not read, so they stop taunting me and taking up space for books that I'd rather have there.

[Gallowsraven]

I can't throw books away, i even still have the ones i read when i was four! . . . actually some of what i read now i read then, even if i didn't understand a word . . . -.-'

[Quiet Man Cometh]

I keep the ones that I liked, but those are elsewhere at the moment and hopefully not mouse eaten. I still pick up the odd book that I recall from my childhood to keep around the house. I have a niece and three second cousins already, and there is one more on the way. I decided when I was young that I would never have a boring house with nothing for visiting kids to do. ;)

Nah, i just hoard books lol. Drives mom crazy; books everywhere.

But yeah, i can see where you're comin' from. My boyfriend's mom keeps toys and that round hers, but his nephew (her grandkid) ain't interested in them at all.

Anne Rice, Terry Goodkind, Garth Nix, Neil Gaiman...

[SilverPhoenyx]

I like Silver Ravenwolf
Scott Cunningham
Starhawk

[Gallowsraven]

OOOO! Anne Rice! I'm reading The Vampire Lestat right now :D

[Quiet Man Cometh]

I tried reading Inverview when I was fourteen. Nearly fell out of my chair with boredom. I think I could manage it now though, since I haven't read any of her stuff since, though my mom has a pile of her books on the other side of the shelf from me, the Vampire Chonicles (most of them) and the Sleeping Beauty books.

[Gallowsraven]

Awesome. I can't watch the film version of Queen of the Damned without ranting about the glaring plot holes and changes. Stupid director ruined the story. I have to forget i read the book entirely.

[Alexander Linden]

Try The Vampire Armand and Blood and Gold.

[Gallowsraven]

I keep meaning to by Armand's story from the 2nd-hand book shop i love and adore . . . where's my to-do list gone? :D

[Alexander Linden]

I can understand why people would get bored with Interview. Even the movie is long and boring, however, there are better books by her, and Armand and Blood and Gold are two very good novels by her.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

I like Interview the movie, and don't usually have a problem with slow moving things as long as the writing is good enough. I'm patient that way, though, I might not have been at the time.

I know a little of what my Aunt told me when she was reading the series. Some of the stuff sounded quite amusing. The first pages of The Vampire Lestat were amusing to me, if I'm recalling them right. Never was sure what to make of the passage she read me from Tale of the Body Thief though I remember part of it still.

[Alexander Linden]

I did like Lestat's hunts and then wanting to run away to join a traveling mistral troupe. xD
