I thoroughly enjoyed that one, and my brother just raved about it.  Thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever read (he's 19, but with a quirky sense of humour).

I think I'll wait to buy them until a boxed set comes out, however, with the whole trilogy.

I think that the Alcatraz books at least are going to be a five books series actually, and I am not even sure if the fifth book has been purchased yet. Might be a while before you get them in a boxed set.

Also started in on Adrian Tchakovski's(sp?) Empire of Black and Gold and have to say, it is great. This book might win the award for worst back cover blurb ever but I encourage everyone who likes political fantasy to pick a copy up and give it a try. A very cool story and some very cool characters it has been a great read so far.

Also along with everyone else I am reading through Alcatraz vs the Evil Librarians. I just can't stop laughing, this book is hilarious.

Alcatraz vs. The Evil Librarians. I believe you can actually purchase it straight from www.brandonsanderson.com, if not I am sure your local bookstore will have it.

Oh, maybe that's why–I thought that was the name of the series. I don't even think we HAVE a local bookstore. I live on the tiniest, most insignificant little speck on the earth. 8)

You have an internet connection, so that is doubtful ;)

I started reading the "Study" books by Maria V. Snyder. Poison, Study, Magic Study and Fire Study.  I quit half-way through the last one because she had known characters react in completely stupid ways to continue the plot.
Any suggestions for slightly older fantasy series that my small library might have?  I've gone back to reading Winston Churchill, so I need something lighter after that.

Haha, true. But it's still pretty freaking small. And in our "town center," we have a pizza place, a ridiculously over-priced grocery store, a liquor store, a hardware store, a bank, and a real estate place that no one ever goes into. Pretty pathetic.

Hey, I lived in a place about that size once.  Downtown was all of two short blocks, I think.  I rather liked it.

That's fine. But I like big cities better. And the people in my town aren't very nice.

Just finished Academ's Fury. Moving on to Eats, Shoot & Leaves by Lynne Truss. I have been told it is rather amusing.

I'm finishing up The Redemption of Althalus by David & Leigh Eddings.

My next is to try and finish up a romance novel called Falling Bodies by Andrew Mark.

I'm reading 'Oliver Twist' for English now, and I am amazed at how many words he manages to stuff into one sentence!!! I mean, I've heard the rumors, but I never expected single sentences to take up entire paragraphs!!!
