Holy crap, I haven't updated my 50 book challenge list since April!
13. Prophecy by Elizabeth Haydon
14. Destiny by Elizabeth Haydon
Both are good fantasy novels, except for the parts that are like cheesy romance novels. Ick.
I've gone through a spat of lack of concentration, so I'm seriously lagging behind, but I won't kill myself if I don't read 50 books this year, I promise.
Right now I'm working on a couple of H.P. Lovecraft anthologies.
I read The Golden Compass last year, these are the second and third in the trilogy. They are very good, very engrossing, but have a few cheezy parts. I should rent the movie now. :]
I've noticed that this author contradicts himself here and there about little facts. Sometimes several chapters later, and even once in the next paragraph! I'm surprised his editors never noticed.
I have several series of sci-fi books, that are missing the first. These came from the huge boxes formerly belonging to my dead cousin. Why the initial books of most of the series are missing is anyones' guess. I'm fairly good, though, at surmising the events of the first book from the second and third, if they don't outright explain them, so it's not that important, I guess.
Anyway, this was fun. It has Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) as the main character. Kay, it seems they speak mainly Esperanto in the Riverworld, in the book. Of course, most of the dialogue is written in English, but it's made clear that they're actually using Esperanto most of the time, and there are a few phrases here and there. Spiffy.
