The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

Screwtape Letters is a great favorite of mine. Early on I stumbled across a dramatic reading of them (a la "books on tape") done by Monty Python regular John Cleese. The rendering is a brilliant piece of work.

Ever read any of Frank Peretti's fiction? He wrote a book called "This Present Darkness". A similar vein to the Screwtape Letters, but more story-like. I read that in high school as well. (A very long time ago-LOL)

Yes I am.

We must be boring

 

[Tinker Gnome]

Hmmmm, for books.

I like David Brin's Kiln People.

I also like a lot of Dragonlance books, a lot of them are better than a lot of people give them credit for. The Kingpriest Trilogy by Chris Pierson has to be one of the best series of books I have ever read.

Gal - I have seen and heard of David Brin, but have never read him. I remember your being a Dragonlance fan. Chris Pierson is not one I have heard of though.

I guess as far as fantasy type authors go, Tolkien still tops the list for me. Lewis is enjoyable. I like Tad Williams' Memory, Sorrow and Thorn trilogy and the first three of Ursula K. LeGuin's Earthsea trilogy.

Aurora - As for Frank Peretti I tried to read him once, but somehow it just didn't catch. :\

I HAVE been told that I can be mightily boring with my carrying on about things, admittedly.

Hehe, I hope to be able to pick up more of Brin's work soon. I like his attitude towards the future. His Uplift series is what he is most know for. I have not read it yet, but I want to.

Dragonlance has A LOT of authors, so it is easy to not know them all.

See, I find Tolkien horribly boring.

I have read the Lord of the Rings, and I do kind of agree with you. But I think it helps if you read the books as mythology books and not as a novel.

That is quite possible.

You and me both, sister.

Why, hello Aeson. I wondered when you might grace us with your presence. How is business?
