Aparently the Children of Hurn is meant to be a lot more enjoyable.
Ok big confession time.
I preferred the Dragon Lance novels to LOTR, oh the geeky fan boy shame.
And I read all the Conan the Barbarian novels.
Oh the double shame.
What half of BSG men lie about books read? Page 3
So who's more of a geek guys who learn Elvish or Klingon?
I say Klingon, atleast with Elvish you can claim it's to meet girls.
I can't even learn Esperanto.

me too! But I loved the Forgotten Realms books. The Avatar trilogy and Prince of Lies were my favorite books when I was a kid.
Oh yea and the Xanth series..ohhhh..the double shame.
Ooh that's pretty bad, confess Curt at some point were you an 7th level Elf fighter-magic user. Called Curt the Hurter?
The Dragon Lance books were the only decent gaming books.
That said I used to be Thrungmarr Axethrash and I was such a geek I played GURPS instead of D&D.
I also read all the Han Solo novels.
Any other turbo nerds out there?

But no other fiction at all
Weird how?
Well it's making one move into a genre and that's it, but no more.
Like some one watching Ever Decreasing Circles but not The Good Life.
Fair enough. 
It was quite funny today in the office, when a woman in the office had the story up on her internet and told everybody, I replied 'I've read that article'
Has anyone read any of the Shardlake series?

Pffft....no....he was a moon elf and he was a bard...so he wasn't a hunter. 
And I only ever read one Dragonlance book "The Gully Dwarves". I remember liking it and laughing a lot but that's about as far as I dove into that series.
I played two versions of the Marvel RP game, Robotech RP, every D&D setting and both versions of Star Wars RP.
We also played a lot of strategy games like Risk, Axis and Allies and a bunch others we payed 50 bucks a piece for only to play the game once.
I did it aaaaaaaall without ever really damaging my cool status in high school mwhahahhahaha!!!!
I was less cool than Satan's microwave, heating hot sauce, in airing cupboard whilst being flamethrowered at ground zero of the Trinity test.
Still Starwars RPG was fun.
Quote: Aaron @ December 11 2008, 6:55 PM GMTHas anyone read any of the Shardlake series?
Nope any good?
I buy books but sometimes I don't read them.. perhaps I'm gay.
That said, I never tire of reading Charles Bukowski's 'Post Office'.
I love police procedurals were nothing happens.
I'd be so much richer if I used the Library more often.

Don't know. That's why I'm asking.
