Suzanna Addison

For epic fantasy with language any body can understand I suggest David Eddings Belgariad. No book is longer than five hundred and thirty pages I think, and it is full of humour, grand scope, evil dark lords beautiful sorceress' and princesses ... Dryads show up as do wise and noble Gods. And one very, very sulky teen! If you like Star Wars or Harry Potter you should try these as they are better than Harry Potter and more thought provoking. If the thought of five books puts you off - he has also written a stand-alone epic called The Redemption of Althalus. It would be good actually to start with that as you get a good idea of his style and characterization. Personally I rate David Eddings as he doesn't over complicate issues, he is funny, witty and yet can be serious and atmospheric. He has to be my favourite adult fantasy writer ever!

I am reading a set of books titled The Medieval Murderers. The first one is called: The Tainted Relic A so called piece of Christs cross is stained with his blood. This item becomes cursed by a fanatic called Barzac saying that once you touch this item you have to keep hold of it for the minute you relinquish it you shall die a painful horrible death - thus starts a gory dark story written by several authors names: Bernard Knight, Philip Gooden, Susanna Gregory, and Michael Jecks. Sword of Shame: Forged by a Viking blacksmith this sword is absolutely beautiful. Sharp, well crafted and once seen by someone they hanker after the sword and use it too acheive dark and deadly deeds. The first act is brother killing brother - the very sons of the blacksmith that forged the sword. It gets passed down through the ages and even commits a bloodthirsty act in modern times. Anybody that is not normally covetous becomes jealous of the owner of the sword. House of Shadows: Review coming once I read this one. These stories have me hooked. There is a fourth one called The Lost Prophecies and a fifth one coming out next month. Several authors contribute to these stories using one plot story and weaving that cleverly through the time of it's creation or finding and the effects of that can still be felt now. Also it has given me two new authors to collect ... can't be bad!

That one was on ITV3 the other morning and it was sweet. Especially as he seems such a batchelor. Proves that even HE can fall for the charms of a beautiful and intelligent woman.

I definitely wouldn't read them in a library where you're supposed to be silent. I almost collapsed with David and Leigh Eddings, and PG Wodehouse's humour is MUCH more lethal!

I am Suzanna Addison. I love a lot of books. I sleep with a book shelf by my bed with everything from Dean Koontz, Charles Dickens, Cecilia Dart Thornton, Victor Klemperer, and a biography of Eva Braun. I would love to try Medieval murder mysteries as I like crime solved by cleverer means than forensic scientists. My favourite author is Charles Dickens but my favourite book is Kenneth Grahame's Wind in the Willows. I am also an avid writer (sometimes I write like billy-o!) I doubt what I write would be allowed on a public forum so I will keep it to myself for the time being unless there are adult sections here. I would also like to RPG in the crime/thriller genre, especially as I that is the genre as I write in that genre. My moto is ... If you can't read, write and vice versa! My other interests are films, music (symphonic fantasy metal! Nightwish, Xandria and Sonata Arctica that sort of thing) my favourite film score is Schindlers List. I also like to cook and knit occassionally.

If you're anything like me, you can not help but LOVE his stories. The almost flawless Jeeves and his seeming unintelligent boss Bertram Wooster. His tales of young love constantly going awry and Jeeves having to clear up Wooster's various male friends muck ups in life - all of his friends seem to live in a club called the Drones. Jeeves helping Wooster escape the clutches of the awful Honoria Glossop and the fey Madeleine Basset. A platoon of dreadful dowager aunts and dopey Uncles act as supporting cast - and bratty cousins. These are silly funny stories that will have you giggling with glee!

I love Hercule Poirot and this book more than any others had me enthralled!!! Watch out for the brief mention of St. Mary Mead ... the village where her other eponymous creation lived. Miss Marple! Btw, new here and this is my very first post!
