I've read the first two, they were very funny, but I thought it was a bit tedious in places. As I havn't read the last in the series, I hope that when I read it, it'll be better.

nioghtsorrow - yeah and then Nathaniel sacrifices himself and saves Bartimaeus. I actually cried *ahem* it was brilliant and so unusual to find in modern books. EVERYONE should read them

Now to finish A Tale of Two Cities again.

I love "A tale of two cities", it's the best Dickens novel by far. I especially love the first paragraph...."It was the best of times, It was the worst of times, It was the age of wisdom..." I could go on ;)

I've read the Bartimaeus trilogy....i thought that they were brilliant at the time..but when i look back...they don't seem quite as good. They are hilarious at times though.Has anyone read The Picture Of Dorian Grey? I'm part way through at the moment..it's one of those books where every few paragraphs you have to stop and think about the meaning of it all!GRRrr..Now probably isnt the best time to start reading LOTR (again) especially since i've got my mocks on monday :mad: ...hmmm. Damn...:( :rolleyes: .oh well.. :D Right ..off to read LOTR. :D

Has anyone read the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon? It's an adult historical series, and I don't know any other teenagers who read it, but it's SO good. I'm halfway through the 3rd one, Voyager.

remember it's [SPOILER] what you want to hide then [/ SPOILER] just without the gap.

all the codes are like that, just with diff words.

Lately i've been reading Manda Scott's Boudica trilogy, which is rather good, very epic though, each book is around 1000 pages and the writing is teenylol.

I also picked up the Wayfarer Redemption trilogy by Sara Douglass at the library today, it's about time for a re-read i though. My mum doesn't understand how i can read a book more than once, but i love to, maybe i'm just strange... but you lot already knew that :D

I finished that historical fantasy by Sophie Masson, Forest of Dreams, a few days ago and highly recomened it, mostly b/c my ship came through! YAY! that, my friends, is the best feeling in the world, lol.
