About my libraryI've been an avid reader ever since I was a kid. As I grew older, I started with science fiction and then eventually I worked my way into fantasy through Dragonlance. Most of my collection is fantasy and scifi, however, I also have a wide variety of other books. I just have one problem: I buy books faster than I can read them. Which of course means I have hundreds sitting around waiting to be read. If they are listed here that means I've read them and I'll add the rest when I get around to them. But seeing how I keep buying more it'll probably take forever.

Cool library! You and I are on the same reading wavelength, methinks, with the same buying to reading ratio "problem."

I happened upon your library by deciding to see who else owned Fenrir by M.D. Lachlan and I will be coming back to see what else you own that I may have missed, to further my endless quest to bankrupt myself via book collecting. Right now I'm taking a break from assembling the second of four bookcases I just bought so I can spread out the 500-ish books that are currently on top and in front of others in my current bookcases. The 500 books should fill 3 of the bookcases and leave me one to expand into for a while.

Well, that's probably more information than you really cared about, so I'll leave you with a recommendation for Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence; I thought it was a pretty good read and I suspect you'd like it.

Take it easy,

Thanks, Ben. I ordered it yesterday.

Oh, I would buy it too if I found it :) And add yet another book to my TBR pile - and, I suppose, add a year or two to my life ;)

Haha XD Couldn't have said it better!

I know, I know... I always seem to put off short fiction for long. I also haven't read Gaiman's Fragile Things, Buckell's Tides of the New Worlds, Abraham's Leviathan Wept, GRRM: A Retrospective, or Warriors.

Although now that I've been shamed, I'll have to read it.

What did you think the flaws of the first book were?

I did a review and the guy wrote back to me...

You have the Briggs history of Britain, 1783-1867? Did you take Cox's class??
