Have any of you guys ever read Garth Nix's Abhorsen Trilogy? It's a pretty awesome read. I remember a quiet tone to the writing, like he was writing it in a dark room with a single candle to light his quill on parchment motions. I remember Ancelstierre and how they seemed so primitive in comparison to those across the wall. I remember dead things crawling and scratching and moaning. Creatures with hideous names bearing their rotten teeth at you and gurgling sounds unfathomable. The only answer to those things that go bump in the night, were the Abhorsen. A magical bloodline whose sole purpose was to constrain all free magic beings. Their weapons included a great knowledge in the orderly and good Charter magic, which relied on a gigantic lexicon of symbols accessible as a realm within the brain, and a set of seven magical bells. The Abhorsen themselves would have to walk on the fringes of death, always feeling its icy pull in their bones. In the end the series was a success. Full of action and bravery. Horror and suspense. Fear and mystery. I'd recommend it. Tell me what you think.

Well this place seems pretty fantastic. Thanks to everyone for all the welcomes.

I was born in Germany on an American Army base, then moved to the south, Alabama, in America. Lived there for some time then moved to the north, Massachusetts to be exact.

Hey guys. I've been dying to find somebody to talk to about books, and this place looks like it may just fill that space in my head. I read a good deal of books and love them dearly. I prefer a fantastical theme, but anything will do, really. I like authors with imaginations. I occasionally write my own fiction, but I'm not here to advertise. That's a promise. And if there are any avid graphic novel readers out there, say hello to your best friend.

Whoo. Favorite fantasy book? It's kind of hard to slim down, but my most recent favorite fantasy book would have to be The Folk of the Air by Peter S. Beagle. It completely redefines what fantasy is in terms of story and in terms of living a fantasy life.
