any one ever heard of an author called Kate Elliott? she's and american author who lives in Pennsilvania and has written a series called Crown of Stars.
there are six books in the series the fisrt being King's Dargon.

never heard of her

Think she must be Lara's relative.

No, no relation here.

I haven't heard of her, nor of the book . How is it ? (the book )

its a good book, I'm on the second volume at the moment: Prince of Dogs.
but there are alot of different plots going on at the same time.
I'll try and shorten it for you, only tghe main character though, theres quite a few of them.

Laith: big trouble for in KD, father mudered leaving debt, she was enslaved by a frater and forced as a concubine. Laith's father left her nothing apart from a special books, all apart from One were taken into custardy by the church.

I'll have to review the book again to give you more details. and next time I'm online I'll give you another charater.

10x Lara !

nvr heard of it..then again..i'm not such an avid reader

I read mainly sci-fi/fantacy books.

Way to go....

Me too, I don't like anything that resembles R/L

R/L ?

Real life

ah, I see I'm not the only one who still needs to learn some abriviations!
no, books based on RL sucks! I prefer books that streach the imagination.

I like Robert Jordan's wheel of time series. You should give it a go.

cut it out with these abriviations......
I'll say:CHGTTFAHAB

P.S: probably I'll forget what it meens before I'll have the chance to say it

ok! has he just released a new volume with a black cover and red illistration on it?

not really....

sorry guys! thats you lot from me for a week! see ya in a weeks time! its half term!

I actually played a game called The wheel of time, I wonder if it had anything to do with the book Corran mentioned...

Is the main character Rand 'al Thor, if so it may well be.

I recomend this to a lot of ya guyz out there (especially mah)
Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa. 4 volumes..happens in feudal japan..1600-1630...the time span(as i remember it).
The best damn books i've ever read.

As in japanese books I recomand Shogun.and to play in that spirit a little bit:
Don't make me do seppuku,master ! j/k

Prince of Dogs? Sounds interesting...

I suggest...well, I don't know what I suggest.

well..shogun is...about 0 comparing with musashi

I can see u r very well read dexx .

could you gimme that in writting?



actually i didn't read shogun. I was this close though....i chose vector prime instead...good enough

As you may recall I decided a while ago to start reading some of the "classics", as I felt it would be interesting.

I'm still reading "Crime and Punishment" at the moment, it heavy going at times and the language can be a little confusing but overall I'm enjoying it. Its about a poor chap called Raskolnikoff who kills a money lender and her sister to steal her money and so far he's not dealing with the guilt too well.

I've become quite involved with the story and I feel a strange empathy with the anti-hero. I'd recommend it to anyone.

I can't remember Corran, but they did have funny names like that...

like what?

Hey Mech. I have to read the "classics" too. Stupid literature class...she then wants a one paragraph essay, in the exact form with every sentence correct. Not very difficult (since I don't even have to read the book because it's Lord of the Rings and I've read all of those), but still stupid.

oh...now that you mention it, i HAVE to read classics too. And mostly i HAVE to read classic books of 400-500 pages. And i HAVE to read them in a very short time.
mmm....BUT.....i mostly don't do any of that.

Shogun was a good read and not too tiresome even though it was 1000+ pages.

That is LONG!

bwah..lotr ws longer. BEsides..i only coutn the pages when i read something i don't like.
if you like it..the longer the better

how very true

ok I can give you some wierd names:

laithanos
Dohuda
Lavastine
Alaine
sabella
tallia
rosvita
sanglant
hathui
theophanos
talliefer
salia
osna
varre
wendar
diamones
jinna
areathousa
sapientia
and the list goes on!

You can get a lot of kids. Plenty of names to choose from.

Oh no you dont! procreation is not on my to do list, EVER!

What about copulation?

can you desipher that for me? I mean explain?

I mean is copulation on your list to try?

I ment explain what copulation means! I'm not familiar to the word.

Are you familiar with fornication?

I've heard the word before but unsertain about its meaning!

I believe you will not have tried this yet as it may result in pro-creation.

Stop it Corran, when she finds out what it all means she'll be mad!

And they'll she'll slap you silly, but you probably would like that...

She's mad anyway you have to be to post here.

A prerequisite I believe.

CORRAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*rugby tackels corran*


o, BTW: mech! what does prerequisite mean?

*places knee under corrans chin and applies pressure*

Am I supposed to like this?

Sort of a requirement to do something, i.e. you have to be mad to post here.

Dearie dearie me...

Did you know that in Georgia (the State, not the country) they still have a fornication law? Hence sex outisde marriage is illegal there.

lol

The jails must be full.

indeed

You seem to know a lot about it.

they were never able to catch me though

.



















PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!

Back to the books! I finished Prince of Dogs last night.
Sanglant asked Laith to marry him! but Sanglant is the king's son and Laith is just a kinless commoner, who has taken an oath to sever the king as a messenger, with the Kings Eagels.
o! the complecations.

I.... see.

i doubt it

seemingly so!

indeed

thw whole series evolves around a book that Laith is guarding. it contains the skills of the Mathematici, heathen sorcery!

ooooooooh how dark

Oooh, you could cut the sarcasm in here with a knife.

ooh...books. So what r ya chaps reading now?
i've almost finished the second volume of Dune. Very good stuff.

Lara reads books where she has to do math???? Interesting...

Which second volume is that Dexx? Dune Messiah or the second volume of the Prequels (i.e. House Harkonnen)?

the second of the prequels....but i have read these ones in..what....4 days? I'll be starting messiah tomorrow i think.

I think I'll start reading Dune in about....an year perhaps?

muahdib

HUH? You're skipping two books??????

lazy?

Indeed.

No mate..i have read DUNE (2 volumes) and now i'm at dune messiah

Any ways.......

nice post......and u're saying that I'm the post maniac

who me? Right now I'm confused! AND WE GOT SNOW LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! the 2ND SNOW OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!! WE GOT SNOW INSTEAD OF RAIN FOR ONCE! AND IT'S STAYING, NOT MELTING!!!!!!!!

No I dont do maths in the books I read!
the Mathematici study the skys and basically without going into too much detail an covern of witches.

Do they use calculators to cast spells?

no although a certain amount of skill is used by them! they navigate using the stars. they also call on the random spirtis which walk aboard oon another plane. and they call on the aid of the elements: earth, air fire water, spirit, weather, and some have the ability to control others to do their biding. they also have the power to walk through specific portals and communicate with the elvish kin, whaich are described in the books as "The Lost Ones".

Speaking to elves and controlling the elements is good, quite impressive in fact but can they remember that long sum that equals the comedy upside down calculator result of..... 55378008 ?

you mean Boobless! no that doesnt even enter the equassion

ok! now Laith has meet up with one of her fellow eagels and she finds out her mother is still alive and has requested that laith be brought to her!

Boobless????? Ban her!!! Whoever she is!!!

.....I'm not boobless you stupid little freak!

We need picture evidence.

Anyhoo....

Finished Crime & Punishment this week and I loved it. I'm going to get some more of Dostoyevsky's work, even though the period is completely alien to me I was really drawn in by the story.

For now, I've started the Count of Monte Cristo. Its a big ass book with small text, so I think it'll take a while.

I hear dune get's pretty sloppy at the 7th, 8th book...hope it's not true

theres plenty of picture evidence, in other threads!
sanglant and liath got married, sanglant is now in disgraced, faces punishment from king!

I was thinking more page 3 style, with an amusing pun at the side like.....

Lara, 16, loves to play on the internet and eat curries. We bet you'd love to tikka closer look at those babies and maybe take a mega-bite out of her!

That's good Mech, you should contact the Sun and get a job writing, I'll be the photographer too.

I think I've found my true vocation...

Ush, 25, loves nothing more than Star Wars and visiting the library.

We bet you ladies would love to use your jedi mind tricks to get an alphe-bite out of his light-sabre!

Excellent, but open a new thread called Mech Page 3 stunners or something like that.

laith has now been made a mockry of by the king and his retinue, this infuriates sanglant, and hugh has got his discussting little paws on laith again, but sanglant is unaware because he fell asleep from a spell hugh cast across the whole of the kings court and progress!

what's a spell "hugh" ?

Fool, it's a spell that Hugh Cast.

Idd! not much going on at the moment!

Laiths mother came to find laith, catch hugh beating shit out of her coz she wont shag him, and well, sanglant, laith and her mother, known as sister anne, left the kings progress in order for laith to study as a mathematici!

HUH?

whats the matter queeq?

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..... nuttin'.

sure, sounds to me that you cant get into the story!

Oh.... it's a story...

What's up Corran ? Felling superior ?

so we're still on books or what..

Who cares?

Yup I am feeling superior and with good reason.

Being...?

That I am superior of course.

King pissed at sanglants disappearance, one sister sent to gent to open a monestary, the other married.

Are you feeling Mother Superior?

Nice suit.

I may have got the wrong end of the stick but I now understand that Corran interfere's with penguins, yes?

ok! lsister anne's servants are facinated with laith and sanglant, they say that laith is pregnant!

Poor laith.

wasn't me.

"you are not a samon!" no, Its sanglants chils laith carries!

Nor am I a Kit-Kat.

that was rather quick, even for you!

That's what all the ladies say.

No wait I didn't mean it like that.

Mmmmm, ladies aren't always impressed by speed are they.....

Strenght And Honor bros'

Yes, I've found that they're not too impressed if you throw your hands up in the air and shout 'woo-hoo I Win', and you know what I'm talking about.

Off topic dudes and over 100.... CLOSING!
