reading TTT .. health and healing<i></i>

Beren I really enjoyed the High House--made me very claustrophobic--It's a good thing I've read Mordant's Need 4 all those secret passageways and all that time indoors. There were a couple of places where it kinda dragged, but that was more than made up 4 by the fabulous descriptions--architecture, moldings, minute details, Jormungund, references 2 other authors and works--The ending was suberb! Tis Gormenghast and The Bobby is def one of the most interesting villians I've come across in a long time--looking 4ward 2 the next book but totally engrossed in A Game of Thrones right now! Fall Far and Well Pilots!<i></i>

I've been reading Orson Scott Card's Alvin Maker series. I'm up to the fourth book, and I really like it.

Can you people help me here? This fantasy book is about humans that can shapeshift into animals. At one time their entire human population could do this. But now theyre the Minority and the "regular humans are shunning them. Can you tell me the name of this book. <i></i>

sounds like 'Animorphs' .. ???? :sky lol health and healing<i>Edited by: danlo60 at: 11/19/03 12:26 pm

LOL, Skywer, thats not it. But thanks anyway. <i></i>

A human who can shape-shift in2 an animal is called a Manticore--If u've ever watched the Val Kilmer movie, Thunderheart, he was, essentially, tracking a Manticore on the Reservation... The true human being is the meaning of the universe. He is a dancing star. He is the exploding singularity with infinite possibilities. <i></i>

Im reading blood of Amber at the moment. But Ive been sidetracked into writing reports and reading the prince off and on so... Asshai by the Shadow a new board, come discuss the darker side of ASoIaF.<i></i>

Somehow I got myself in the middle of two books at once!
One is a history sort of thing called " Shakespeare's Kings, the Great Plays and the History of England in the Middle Ages: 1337-1485" and the other is a suspense novel called Darwin's Blade by Dan Simmons. BUT when I finish them, I want to start reading some Robin Hobb (I keep hearing how good this author is!) and I have "The Dragonbone Chair" by Tad Williams right at the top of the stack on my desk.
And I'm trying to keep up with the Narnia group read here, and the Donaldson group read over at Kevinswatch. Do those count? If so, I'm really in the middle of four books! my sister, o my sister! There's the cause on 't. Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust, Like diamonds we are cut with our own dust -- John Webster's "The Duchess of Malfi", first performed in England in 1614<i></i>

I've just started Ombria in Shadow, by Patricia A. McKillip, I've read a lot of her stuff, and so far I like the storyline. I have a few books on the shelf, to be read, I'll list them, Briar Rose, by Jane Yolen, The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley, and Over Sea, Under Stone, by Susan Cooper, I've read the fourth book in this Susan Cooper series, called the Grey King, and it was awesome, so I decided to start at the beginning and read the whole series, I think it's directed at young adults, but I enjoyed the fourth book so much that I think I'll deal with any immature content. Hey, I started a web page, with some stuff on books, and lots of links, if your interested, (this will be the third time I've advertised on this site) it's at users.psln.com/swm so take a look? <i></i>

I've read Briar Rose -- excellent book, though somewhat disturbing as it's set in the Nazi Holocaust! The Blue Sword and its companion book The Hero and the Crown are also very good! Haven't read those others, but I like McKillip -- isn't she the one who wrote those wonderful Riddlemaster of Hed books? "What did you say to the Emperor about me?" "He wanted to know what I saw in you.I told him that you poured out honor like a fountain, all around you." "That's weird. I don't feel full of honor, or anything else, except maybe confusion." "Naturally not. Fountains keep nothing for themselves."<i></i>

I'm reading Midnight Falcon by David Gemmell and Lord Foul's Bane for the Kevin's Watch group read. Unfortunately both have been going very slowly for quite some time now due to school related pressures, and what is currently on the top of my reading list is a photocopied paper stack called Digital Signal Processors. I have an exam tomorrow. That brings to mind the question: what am I doing here now... (exits) <i></i>

Good Luck N!!!

Well, I finished the history book and Simmons's Darwin's Blade, so I think I'll start Tailchaser's Song tomorrow...I just can't resist a book about about a boy orange cat, since I have two, both of them curled up beside me purring their lil heads off. "What did you say to the Emperor about me?" "He wanted to know what I saw in you.I told him that you poured out honor like a fountain, all around you." "That's weird. I don't feel full of honor, or anything else, except maybe confusion." "Naturally not. Fountains keep nothing for themselves."<i></i>

SO SO COOL my baby cat Oslo was "Orange Kitty"! He was SO cute, SO trueblue.
