it's acctually easier to read the silmarillion after the lotr simply because you need the "feaver", that infectious desease that you catch, while reading lotr. :farmer:

Here's a very hardy welcome back! :D

ok revsion on what I'm reading now ;)

Spacecraft 2001 - 2100
Spacewreck
Great Space Battles
Star Liners

thanks, mike :D

Where on Earth do you find time to read that many books? :p

fast reader ;)
I can go through an average sized paperback in a night..
I can also keep track of about 4 books at a time :)

I'm a slow reader. I take about 1.5 minutes per page. But if you calculate in my wandering attention over the span of a reading session, it's probably more like 5 minutes a page ;).

currently reading "The Sentinel," a short story collection by Arthur C. Clarke.

Let's see....
"The Two Towers"-Tolkein
"Marlfox"-Brian Jacques
"Greetings, Carbon-based Bipeds!"-Arthur C. Clarke
"Cryptonomicon"-Neal Stevenson
"The Diamond Age"-Neal Stevenson
"Tiger Burning Bright"-Mercedes Lackey, etc...
"The Golden Key"-Melanie Rawn

That's not counting the 3D books that I'm going through...
I guess it all depends on what I'm in the mood for at any point as to what I read.

It helps that I don't watch television. Ever. :D

I'm reading Silver Tower by Dale Brown. sorta a military thriller/scifi book real cool stuff ;)
