Default Re: The Abhorsen Trilogy

Wow. You guys seem to get very excited over those books Ginky mentioned, so I now feel that I must start hitting the libraries and book stores in search of them.

I love non-cliche fantasy, so I'm going to take your word for it.

Another series of books that I used to read back in middle school that I never finished but was enjoying immensely was something like "The Lost Scrolls of Merlin", by TA Barron. I'm not sure if that is the exact title of the series, but it's close. And it's also nothing like something Tolkein would write, so you guys might like it as well.

After I finish reading "The Abhorsen", I'm probably going to read "A Midsummer's Nights Dream", but these books that you have mentioned is deffinatly near the top of my "to read" list.

Some other fantasy series that I am very into at the moment (and are non-cliche) would be the Redwall series by Brian Jacques and The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. You may want to look into those as well.

I'm also going to try and read the Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman again. I tried to read it freshmen year but never quite finished it. Once again, it's a fantasy novel that manages to avoid cliche's.

I read Redwall way back in fifth or sixth grade and loved it. Unfortunately, I had gotten it from the library and they didn't have any of the books after it; plus, I had nada money so I couldn't go and get any of the other's.

It slipped out of my mind until I bought Redwall and Mossflower a couple weeks ago. I saw them and went, "Wow! Gotta buy!" I haven't started on them, yet, but I plan to soon.

I tried to read Gunslinger a couple of years ago ago, but I wasn't able to really get into it. My dad had said, though, that at the time King wasn't planning on continuing the series. It might have killed my mood knowing that I was getting into a story without an end. Now that I'm seeing new ones coming out, I might try it out again...

No kidding.

Ulala, you should at least give some back ground info so everyoen else knows what your talking about.

She wants to borrow my copy of the Abhorsen Trilogy after I finish it is what she was saying. And Sly lent me his season of Roswell, and she wants me to go watch it.

Although that last part really was off topic. o_O
