Clive Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Hello Everyone, My name's Clive and I love reading! I am interested in a lot of different genres. If pressed I would say Sci-Fi/Fantasy is my favourite genre. My favourite book of all time is Lord of the Rings. I also really love the Harry Potter novels and anything Doctor Who related.

KindleWorm Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Hi Clive... welcome to the forum! LOTR and Harry Potter are some of my favourite reads too. If you like Sci-Fi/Fantasy then I can heartily recommend the current book I'm reading called The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss - extremely well-written and compelling read. In places it reminds me of a cross between Harry Potter and LOTR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the second book The Wise Man's Fear on my bookshelf to be read. My brother was telling me that the third book was supposed to be out in August, but has been delayed.

CyborgDreamSt8 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Thanks. Texas? Cool! Do you read Westerns by any chance? I love 'em. That would be a huge negative. I had a steady stream of Western movies and such shoved down my throat as a child and I just can't stand them anymore. Same with Country and Western music. I am much more into Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baby.giraffe Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Hello! I must admit sci-fi and fantasy aren't things I read much and I'm a total horror wuss though I really want a copy of The First Men In The Moon, does that count?! I hope you have fun here. I'm new too I've made a slow start but everyone's been nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already downloaded The Wise Man's Fear to my Kindle (despite it being far too expensive!)... but wasn't aware that the next book was imminent (albeit delayed).
