~~ Steve's Favourite Fiction - Challenge ~~

 

The Malazan Book of the Fallen - Steven Erikson - my favourite fantasy series. I've banged the drum about it quite enough by now. It's like Marmite. Seven out of the ten books in the series are right at the top of my list: Gardens of the Moon / Deadhouse Gates / Memories of Ice / House of Chains / Midnight Tides / The Bonehunters / Toll the Hounds.

 

The Belgariad - David Eddings - this was the series that introduced me to the fantasy genre. I loved it when I was 14 or 15. Not sure how I'd feel about it if I read it again now, but I have to include it here.

I looove looking through your lists. One thing struck me...I might have more books on my TBR pile, but you have way more on your wish list! :)

 

Did I know you once borrowed a book by Mencken on the English language in America? I want!

 

I'll comment more later...

 

(If it turns out you're not done posting, let me know and I'll delete this.)

Yay, you've posted, you're obviously not that upset with the Ringo joke! Honestly, I was only kidding, you know that right? :empathy:

 

The reason why you have more books on your TBR but less on your wishlist is because I'm wishing to have all the books you have and I don't yet own :haha: And you know what? I bought 5 books today (one might not be for me ;)) so it's official, this year I've bought over 300 books. I was trying so hard not to cross that line... :(

 

Oooh and don't worry, I'm done posting! What a funny thing that your post should be the first one on the second page, all neat and tidy. And yes you knew/know that I have that Mencken book borrowed (no, haven't returned it yet, I can re-borrow it 8 more times hehehee!), I even told you some details about it, there was an example of Finnish English. Can't remember what it was though.

 

It took me ages to make all the lists. The editor was playing with me, not bolding the things that seemed bolded when I hit 'save changes'. All that sort of whacky things. I'm happy it's done now though. And now I can just relax and read and go and look at other people's logs! :grinhat:

Hey Frankie, I must say I do love looking through yours (and Kylie's) lists as the new year comes around. I've been thinking about taking up some challenges in 2012 because it's something I never do. Looking through your lists I think your version of the Rory List could be one I'd be interested in attempting, if you don't mind me using the list? In any case, best of luck with your reading next year, look forward to reading your thoughts/reviews. :friends3:
