Hello everyone. . . My name's Heather. I can't wait to argue about politely discuss all of our favorite passionate topics. When I love something. .. I love it pretty hard. I'm not sure which aspect of nerdiness defines me most. . . but it would probably be reading. I read constantly, and I have VERY strong opinions about what I read. Hopefully you guys can expand my interest base. Talk to you soon.

If you don't mind something a little silly, I'd suggest 'Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch'. It's an old favourite of mine. :)

YES!!!!!!! It is one of my alltime favorite books. I can't recommend it enough to people. It's so refreshingly funny. . . .the characters are perfection. . . I love the footnotes throughout the book. have you read any others by gaiman or pratchett?

agh!!!!! people who read.. .and people who read good stuff. . ..do you know how many times at work someone's like, "i read so much. I just finished the 50 shades of gray series. . .and now i'm going to go re-read twilight?" it makes me want to smack them. . . and take away their library cards. :) the japanese steam punk series sounds AMAZING. . .and if i could ride a fictional animal. . it would be a goddamn griffon. :P

 

have you guys read "good omens" the book sir terry wrote with neil gaiman? it's one of my all time favorite books. it was the first pratchett book i wrote, i was already an uber fan of gaimans

i finished eragon. reading the second book now

I read all three of that series. . . .you'll have to let me know how you like it once you're finished, but I was underwhelmed after it was over. The idea of it was so much better than the execution mayhaps? It was the same way I felt after I finished the Pullman series (HIs Dark Materials). Excellent ideas, just not put together in the optimal way.

 

I've finally decided to go and read through all the Discworld books. I've read a few, but haven't gotten very far in the series before. I reread The Colour of Magic last friday for Terry Pratchett's birthday, and am moving forward with the rest of them now. Has anyone else ever read them?
