I'm sorry Van.
To rub salt in the wound, my hold just came in and I got "Dead Beat".

It's all good... figured I'd take this opportunity to try and finish teh Lord of the Rings trilogy, so I picked up The Two Towers. Never have read them all the way through... (I know, I know.. shame on me!)
I'd say good on you.... but that's just me lol. Also, hahaha to both of you, I have all the books and all the short stories for the Dresdenverse.

What's your take on the spinoff TV Series for The Dresden Files? Worth watching? I was thinking I might check it out once I finish reading the books.
Beyond the premier episode(which is more or less Stormfront, edited down heh), the rest takes place in almost alternate version of the Dresdenverse... but still worth watching; the guy they had playing Dresden was excellent, and even though they changed Bob, it was a good change.

So got my hands on Meg Primal Waters, the third volume of Steve Alten's
Megaldon Series
. Good read, and the other two books are excellent as well.... if you don't mind dispensing belief heh; some of his creatures are altered to be pure underwater creatures, including a pod of kronosaurus in the second book, but beyond that, still good. If you like books about Great Whites, you'll enjoy a book series about the original version of the beasts; 70 foot plus Sharks heh.

So I just got the Rama series. I finished Rendezvous with Rama and started Rama II. Excellent reads, both of them.

I remember reading Rendezvous with Rama back in 7th grade. We had to do a book report on one book we picked out ourselves, and that was my choice. I loved the "Ramans do everything in threes" line.
In related news, I just bought a #$%^ load of older used sfi-fi and fantasy books (Le Guin, Clarke, Asimov, Card, etc.).

I didn't like his Wheel of Time book as much as Jordan's :( Maybe I'll give his other books a try some time.

O= I didn't know this! Maybe I'll see if my old English teacher, who happens to be in my stake (a church designation of space ,like a congregation) who knows him, to see if he can sign a copy when I get it.
Also, I started reading "The Prince of Nothing" series, by
R. Scott Bakker
. Frankly, it is as good as, if not better than, George R. R. Martin's "A song of Ice and Fire."

His other books are amazing. Elantris, Mistborn, Warbreaker. I love them all. Great new systems of magic, great political intrigue, great all around.

Holy crap, this is a huge book. Just over 1000 pages, a little over 2 inches thick... :)
Just picked it up from my library at lunch today.. can't wait to dig into it tonight! Reviews I have seen claim this is Sanderson's best work, which is saying a lot in my opinion.
Awesome! Being at college, I'm unable to get it, but I hope my parents will buy it for me.
