And yaoi only refers to anime fanfiction. Otherwise it's called slash. Yuri being femslash. God, why do I remember that?

i finally getting back to Patricia Cornwell's "Unnatural Exposure". I started it quite a while ago. Her books are really good. Her and Dean Koontz are amazing writers. And then i am reading "Leadership and Self deception." i have to read it for work. Wee.

Prince of the Blood by Raymond E. Feist

While Feist's Riftwar saga contained every fantasy cliche known to man, I have heard that his stuff gets better over time. I've decided to start with the Krondor's Sons series and see if there's some improvement, if not I'm onto bigger and better fantasy.

Somehow I don't think that a book called Prince of Blood is going to be much of an improvement. And does R.A. Salvatore's writing get better over time? Cause I got stopped cold by just how brain numbingly cliched his second book was. I seem to remember a rainbow bridge. Like, not even in a particularly fantasy setting. It was just leading to a normal town. Like, as if rainbow bridges are just par for the course in everyday life in R.A. Salvatore's books. Just, no.

LoathsomePete 04-16-2013 09:07 AM

Never read anything by R.A. Salvatore so I can't really comment. Even if this two part series sucks donkey balls I can read it in a day, so I won't squander too many brain cells if it does turn out to be awful. I'm mostly reading it to give me the proper context so I can start reading some of the later novels where Pug and Tomas are the main characters, because they have extended lifespans and I'm interested to see how they grow.

My fiance and I go to half price books quiet often. We have a bad habit of buying books about ten times faster than we read them. She is only a dozen or so books shy of having the entire Danielle Steel and Janet Evanovich collection. And I am currently re-reading L. Ron Hubbards Mission Earth series. I am missing numbers 4 and 5, but i count on finding them before i get that far seeing as i just started.

I go to a half price used book store too, and they have a bunch of L. Ron Hubbard books there. I keep thinking of buying one just for the novelty factor. Are they actually any good?

His science fiction is. thats actually how scientology started. he bet his friend 100$ he could get one of his SF books turned into a recognized religion.

He's a great story teller. the Mission Earth Series makes the Anti-hero the protagonist, and the do gooder space marine is the guy you end up hating
