heh, Jeffe and I used to go by "Jeffneric" which people with LotF knowledge will find at least vaguely amusing.

What's disturbing is that, though I read Lord of the Flies and enjoyed it, (as much as I enjoy that kind of book) when you say that, all I think of is Stephen King's "Hearts in Atlantis".

well, WotC sent me four novels.
Only three of them are D&D novels though. The other one is a Magic: the Gathering.

I'm gonna keep one of the Dragonlance ones, it's a collection of short stories.

The other one I actually already own. Weasel's Luck, which is volume three of the Heroes series -- each book of which is an independent story. Jeffe took volume 2 off my hands, I'm not about to force this one down his throat unless he wants it.

The last one is another part 3 of a trilogy. "War of the SPider Queen." Lloth is just used far too often by these guys, imo.

So, anyone want them? First come first serve. I'll even pay the buck and a half it would cost to mail it.

isn't the spider queen one a R.A. Salvidore?  I know the city of the spider queen adventure is based off of it, and that the D&D Underdark soursebook makes refrence to the series.

Also SE you should probaly note, if you take one of these books you are required to reveiw them.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

Chuck Norris is the reason Waldo is hiding.

en't seen anything yeah, it's Salvatore. I've been sent a reprint of the first Drizzt novel, and he's a better writer than the last one I read, but I'm not sure I want to keep reading D&D books.

ANd yes, if you take a free book, you have to review it.

Now here's a book I think I would most definately like. Minus a small detail that could throw me off.

I'll take Weasel's Luck if you haven't had any other takers yet.

I'm currently reading Isaac Asimov's Prelude to Foundation. a very interesting book if i may add. I saw commercials for a movie based on one of his books, I, Robot. Will Smith, i think, was not the best choice of actor...

I just started on the Foundation Series. Kind of dry, but really well written.

Hey everyone! I've been very busy for some time...and will be in the near future so I'll probably post like every once in a while...anyway, I don't want to spend my time sifting through all the posts so sorry if this has already been said but I'm reading Angels and Demons, prequel to The Da Vinci Code, and I'm loving it! Actually, I just finished it, and I honestly thought it was better than its sequel.

Haven't read that one, but I have read The DaVinci Code. I wasn't highly impressed with the puzzles--they seemed too pat. And the plotting, except for the subject matter, was just like any John Grisham-esque mystery. But it was a fun read, and I quickly turned around and sold the book on a yard sale for half what I paid for it, so it wasn't a waste of money, either. I should read Angels and Demons someday.
