I bought the first two books of The Legend of Drizzt at Value Village for three dollars each (woot!). Its a bit of an adventure for me because the cover paper thingy that goes on hardbacks is missing, so I dunno anything about the story, but I looked up reviews and all of them were good, and I haven't read a fantasy novel in ages, a GOOD fantasy book in forever, so hopefully this goes well.
Most fantasies I read were really old ones my dad read as a kid, he kept them all, and I found them all kinda pervy. Other than that the only other fantasies I can think of that I like are children's books (Myst is the only exception I can think of).

If you need a GOOD fantasy book or series, I don't think you can go wrong with Terry Brooks;
Shannara Series (First King, Sword, Elfstones and Wishsong)
The Scions of Shannara Series (I forget what the book were called in this one)
Voyage of the Jerle Shannara Trilogy ( I know the second one is called Antrax and think the first is titled the Voyage of the Jerle Shannara)
High Druid of Shannara Trilogy (Jarka Ruus, Tanequil and the third title escapes me)
Armageddon's Children Trilogy (Armageddon's Children, Elves of Eintra and the final book is still being written I believe)
Running with the Demon Trilogy (Running with the Demon, Knight of the Word and Angel Fire East)
I've read all of those (well, except Elves of Eintra, the unwritten book and book 2 and 3 of the running with the demon trilogy, I own them, I just haven't read them yet...) and can guarantee some good fun reading in them, and I COULD dig through my piles of books to find them and the titles but i'm lazy though I may read them all again, they're decently sized, each one at about... 500-600 pages I think.
He also wrote a series called; Magic Kingdom for Sale-SOLD!, which is apparently quite good but I never got around to buying or reading them.

haha, I changed my mind. I'm just going as a PVC whore. Doesn't matter, I just want to experience what it's like. I don't imagine I'll talk to anyone, or that anyone will talk to me.

I was randomly looking around a joke encyclopedia, which makes fun of all subjects included, and so I wondered what it had to say about goth.... After reading the section and laughing ect. There was a section of pictures at the bottom of different types of 'goth'...
One of the pictures happens to be of GothicusMaximus, denotated as "CapeBoy".

Hehe, I actually read The Sword of Shannara, and Elf Stones of Shannara when I was 13 or 14, and I had a copy of The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara, I started it but just couldn't get into it. Sword of Shannara was pretty good and actually I wouldn't mind reading that again, I don't remember it too well, but I remember not enjoying Elfstones at all.

I found I appreciated all of them a lot more when I was older, and its interesting that you day you didn't enjoy the Elfstones since that is one of my favourites.

It's funny, although from 3:35 onwards I just want to give him the biggest hug ever and sympathise!
It's horribly catchy. I must remember not to sing it in public!

Okay so I'm just sitting on the couch watching the Olympics and they are running the 100m and something keeps catching my eye. The guy who won the race was wearing gold glitter shoes. Seriously wtfuck?

My walls are perfectly black (excluding the dust they have), so I just discovered something:
If I look at Maddox's page long enough, and then I look away, I can actually keep reading it!!
Well, in theory, because it's hard to concentrate on words that are on your periphery.

You should seriously use you signature as a ticker, Duane.
It would be amusing.

Woot second date for Duane!
On that happy note I'm going to go off to sleep, mainly because I think that my brain will break if I read anything that requires me to think...then again I may be safe here.
Goodnight gnet *hugs all around*

How does that work out for you?
I've always been taught (and figured) that the darker a wall, the smaller the room seems, so I can imagine black would be quite oppressive.
Do you notice, or does it not seem that way?
I guess with good lighting it would be all right.
