Re-read Guards Guards last week and I had forgotten how funny it was. Moving Pictures is good too - I love the satirical references to Hollywood and the celebrity lifestyle.

Really interesting if you're into that sort of thing... or just a big nerd...
I might look into that then - my grandmother has all the Discworld paraphernalia such as maps, models and even a sculpture of A'Tuin. She is a total Discworld fan and might have the science books too - I hate buying new books coz they cost a fortune...

Re: Favorite books

I once had a PC game featuring Rincewind - was totally cool but hard to complete.

My grandmother isn't even aware that cars have been created so it's doubtful that me saying ps1 is going to have any effect whatsoever. Sadly.

Re: Favorite books

Hey has anyone here read the books of J R R Tolkien, that one part of it is the Lord of the Rings.

I know LOR trilogy is over, but can there be still a movie that connects the story, the movie is just a part of the books Tolkien made

Re: Favorite books

I've read almost all of Tolkien's work - the Silmarillion was the hardest-going one of them all, but it does explain where certain LOTR characters came from such as Shelob and Sauron. I read the Hobbit as a child and I think there's some rumour of it being made into a film...I dunno...

Awww....I read the Hobbit when I was younger. A wonderful book I'd have to say - at the time I thought it was even better than the three books about the Ring.

That and Silmarillion are two must reads for anyone who likes LotR - They add alot of background for the characters and the world, aswell as some cool side-stories.

Yeah, you're right. I read the books years before the movies were made and I was dissapointed, in all their grandeur they forgot alot of little events that happens in the books.

I can't quite remeber if the fellow Tom Bombardill was in The Hobbit or the LotR books, but that is a funny little side story that I enyoyed alot.

I have picked up reading the old L. Frank Baum series of the OZ books again. I picked them up to have something to read to my son and have really started enjoying them again. With 14 in all and an excellent reread value I don’t think me or my son will have to look very far for night time reading material. I like them for the good imagination, great settings, and wonderful characters.
