Reading
This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

NOOOOOOOOO!
Esqy the ONLY and I mean ONLY Eddings I will allow you to read is the Redemption anything else must BURN!
I suggest Erikson if you like adventurish
and Martin for war
Dart-Thompson is good for romantic adventureish (Recommend this to ANYONE in Britain
Pied Piper)
R.Scott Baker - Adventuer/politc ok
-~-~-~-~
There is no Silicon Heaven! But where do all the calculators go ?
You could no more evade my wrath... than you could your own shadow!

I read a bunch of old old books for school. Books include (but are not limited to) Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, The Second Treatise of Government by John Locke, Utopia by Thomas More, A Tale of Two Cities Charles Dickens, The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx, etc. etc.
And those are just the books for my sophomore year.

SW, you've got taste. Matthew Reilly is most certainly a very talented author - however, I feel that Ice Station was so good that he can't top it. I enjoy all his other books, but Ice Station is just so kickass.
I also read historical books - I'm a big fan of 20th century history. I know a bit about quite a bit, I hope
I can't believe that nobody has listed J.K. Rowling. Hasn't anybody read Harry Potter?

Hel - Will not allow? *Raises eyebrow* Eddings is ok, although all of his fantasy works are very similar, and stick to a similar formula. Even "The Redemption...". Still, they are good for a light read.
Christopher Stasheff is bloody great. His fantasy novels successfully mate discussions on science, mythology, existentialism, etc with standard fantasy elements. It's damn fine stuff.

Taw well you could have said that earlier I got heart of Darkness on my hd and the other are a lot of chapter, which is the main reason why I didnt copy them over. And the chance of our library having them, is prolly less than zero 
Read the outpost tho, its ok and started with Karain, but didnt make any progress cus I kept going back to the beginning to read it again, his descriptions of stuff are totaly amazing

I too, like Conrad's use of language, as his similies and metaphors are excellent. The only problem is the ambiguity inherent in parts of his work (presumably on purpose), but they *do* allow you to think. The ambiguity of "The horror! The horror!" for example, could have any number of meanings.
