Until you've read lots of Anne Rice, seen Queen Of The Damned six million, two hundred thousand and thirty three times and have a life-size Buffy cut-out in your dorm, you're about as goffick as a Bridgend tubby.

I'm a good way into Revelation by CJ Sansom. The Shardlake books are quality.

I was talking to one of my mates about the books and he has just read them, He is going to lend me them so I might as well give them a go.
Thanks for your comment.

I've read the Vampire Chronicals, Queen of the Damned is a massive pile of shite, Interview With The Vampire is the only film where Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise were fit and my cousin is named after Darla from Buffy.

Do I win yet?

For some reason I decided last week that I really, really wanted to read HMS Ulysses again for the first time in a decade or so.

One visit to Amazon later and I'm now quarter way through it.

I can't read

If I could read however, I would be reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L Shirer. One of the best and most complete works on it ever written.

I'm about half way through 'Web Site Story' by Robert Rankin.

Not his best book but still made me giggle too loudly on the plane.

Nope cos the 1st rule of goff club is to always deny you're a goff

I'm currently reading Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch. I love it, it's so much fun. He really draws you into the world and makes you like the characters. Plus the adventures are fun. He had me hooked from The Lies of Locke Lamora.

"Fool's errand" by Robin Hobb, the first of the Tawny Man trilogy.

Yes I enjoyed that one. Has anyone read Robin Hobb's ' The Soldier Son Trilogy'. I was thinking of
picking it up, and would like any comments on it before I go buy the books.

Nothing Robin Hobb has written is nearly as good as the 'Farseer Trilogy' The Liveships don't make you feel the same way (NIghteyes!) and the Soldiers Son doesn't have quiet the same depth. having said that though, I bought them all in Hardback as soon as they were printed and as I am notorious for speed reading I never buy hard backs so I must have really wanted to read them. I should also say that I haven't re read them which I always do when I really love a book.

So the jury's out on that one

I still love the Belgariad but the best of all is the Janny Wurts & Raymond Feist 'Mistress of the Empire' trilogy.

I disagree...... Thats all I have on that front. The Liveships Traders I felt was a better set of books mainly because it wasn't in the first person and the main characters were so gosh darn stupid, the only negative point to the story was the lack on Nighteys!

The Soldier Son Trilogy was very different from what i was expecting but I found once I started reading it, it was about four hours when I put it down. I must say the main characters style of body I felt was a unique twist in the fantasy world, which is filled with young handsome hero's etc..
The End is completely wonderfully and the only time I have 'wooted' at the end of the story.

I am currently reading Katharine Kerrs - Snare, a very entertaining story with a enough twists to keep it fresh.

Just started reading the 3rd book in Wilbur Smiths Egyptian series, and it's already sounded just as good as book 1.

I love my Egyptology, so to find authors that write Egyptian fiction has got me pleased!

i can't wait to finish these off then start of some Manfredi and Christian Jacq
