    I recently read "Illusions" by Richard Bach. I really, really recommend people read his works, especially "Jonathan Livingston Seagull", "Illusions" and "One".

    If you read them with an open mind, they'll change your outlook on life, guaranteed.

    Hehe, right now, I'm hooked on this autobiographical story about the Cold War. It's called I Should Have Died, by Phillip Deanne. It's certainly interesting enough to hold my interest. Well, maybe it's because I like reading/learning about the Cold War.

    That sounds interesting, I've always enjoyed reading about the Cold War. Well, that among other wars, but still, a unique situation.

    De Kleine Johannes - Frederik van Eeden, old Dutch book, from about 1870 or so. It's a book about a little boy, life, and the choices we have to take.

    Heh, I don't think I've ever read anything profound, or life-altering. Nor have I read anything that's made me think about myself or the world around me. And very often, I think that those who have only do so because someone's told them to, and that when they have, they hardly understand what it is they've read.
    I guess I'm easy to entertain, which is why I'll pick up a Stephen King or Dean Koontz novel over any philosophical piece of work. If I'm forced to think and use my imagination, I'd rather be doing so with a book that offers me worlds and situations as far removed from my own as possible.

    I like that one. Wulfgar was always my favorite character, I'm glad he focused more on him for a while. Then he goes back to Drizzt & Artemis with Servant of the Shard and all that, but Salvatore is an awesome artist... the group he's got going is wonderful. Read "A Thousand Orcs" when you're finished with those. Yeah.

    @Grape Crush: Rainbow Six only took me a few days. I think about 4... not really that long of a novel, although it is intimidating.

    Well, as you know, I finish The Thousand Orcs last week, and two days ago I began reading The Dark Elf trilogy. When I finish that, I will resume reading from the beginning of Salvatore's works afore I continue with The Hunter's Blades.
