Stephen King - Desperation. i read it when i was like twelve... i was on edge for like a week. i still dont get it... but it was so disturbing and weird i cant read it again.

there are many reasons why i read. i think that a good book always surpasses a good film. in books everything is so much more real. you can put your own imprint in it with the images in your own imagination, and the books that you read make you wiser. it helps you deal with every day life. if a character looses someone close, it helps you understand why we feel the way we do. it makes you happy for the things you have and it can inspire you to change the world. books are magical, they record and write things so that future generations can experience the past as it was when it was present. books are much more than just entertainment. they hold knowledge and history. without books, we would not know half as much about our ancient races as we do, and train journeys would be very boring without tolkien, dickens, bronte, and many other classics.

i have been wanting to read the wheel of time series for a while now. i have 3 of the books but i am yet to find the first one in a charity shop (it will take time but im on a budget!) i get bookd of ebay too.. and i got quite a few after xmas. from what i have read here it is encourageing me to get looking for the first one again!

Most of Wilbur Smith's books are set in africa or have something to do with that area. His storylines vary a lot and i very much enjoyed reading warlock, river god and the seventh scroll! has anyone else here read them and what do you think of them?
