Fate is just an easy way of telling someone that you want to be with them for the rest of your life
To die and be born again in to the soul of anothers is an experiance that will last a life time
Nachos is here back and ready ^_^

Interesting, even if no one has posted here in about a month. 
I'm reading Wicked.
I have read Chronicles of Narnia, Jane Eyre, Animal Farm, and Eragon was good.
Not to mention I am also reading at least 15 or so manga series.
The Iliad and Oyssey were very good, and I am going to read a couple tragedies.
Any suggestions on mythology? I'm still trying to find a full account of what happened at the end of the Trojan War. The Iliad sort of cut off after Hektor's funeral.

so they're good then? I like both of those authors.
I'm still working my way through the chronicles of narnia. I've made it to Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

I just finished Digital Fortress and was rather dissapointed.

then don't even bother with deception point. that one was even more predictable. Dan Brown isn't that great a writer. All of his books have the same plot.
take Angels and Demons vs. The Davinci Code:
the difference? bad guy was to literally destroy the church in one and wants to figuratively destroy the church. That's just retarded.

ok I will thank you
Voyage of the Dawn Treader is very weird, but very good.
Moreso then the preceding Narnia books if you can imagine that.
C.S. Lewis wrote some sci-fi books but I tried reading one and didn't understnad it.
I did like Till We Have Faces.
That's a retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche.

choke is fantastic. i'd have to say haunted is one of the most terrifying ones yet, since all the short stories are based on true stories. then the way he ties them all together is downright horrifying.
his books all have such crazy twists to them, and usually its something you never saw coming, but it could happen. LOVE IT

for the record: Dan Brown (writer of the DaVinci Code) is a bad writer. I like the DaVinci code, but all his stories have the same formula. He ought to stop writing before everyone realizes that.
Chuck Palahniuk is great. Read Lullabye?

I liked the Da Vinci Code, and I thought Angels and Demons was one of the best books I have read..... but you are right. After reading a second of his books the third one became very predictable.
