I own a copy of Grimm's Fairy Tales, The Three Musketeers, Twenty Years After and The Vicomte de Bragelonne, and The Man in the Iron Mask. I loved the Three Musketeers.Nyx wrote:Sorry Athos, but I do not.
I just started reading T.H. White's The Once and Future King and so far I've enjoyed it. Speaking of Christmas gifts, Grimm's Fairy Tales are an enlightening read. Well, I find most original fairy tales good, so....
The Three Musketeers is pretty good too- in the middle of that for French class.
For those of you into science fiction, I totally dig and recommend anything by Orson Scott Card. He is amazingness, plain and simple.

Re: ~Great books~
I found some great books on literary criticism and literary theory...If you need book on writing,
I highly recommend "Write For College" (ISBN: 0669444022) and "Writing about Literature" (ISBN: 0312412827). I think they're really helpful when it comes to writing any kind of essay, I'm glad I bought them >.>

Oh, I wanted to read that book. I've seen references from it time to time. You know, that book is the only one I know of which has not been made into a movie.
I just finished reading the play, "Cyrano de Bergerac." It's such a wonderful play.

Yeah, it hasn't been made into a movie. Which I really don't want them too. It's a really good book and I don't want them to mess it up.Athos wrote:Oh, I wanted to read that book.

My broken wings
How far should I go drifting in the wind
Across the sky, just keep on flying

Oh man, this Deeper book is profound, and violent. The visuals it paints are gorgeous too. I love it, people should check it out.

The Dark Elf Trilogy by R.A.Salvator.
I wasn't into Dungeons and Dragons until I read The Orc King, and now I'm hooked. All because of a certain little Drow who I can't get enough of.... Baka Drow.
