Salvatore, (I don't want to list em all, and you don't want to read all the titles) [/quote] Ooh, I've heard about that guy. I would really like to read about him, but I'm not sure where to start. I've seen the Trilogy of the Dark Elf, IceWind Dale books, and some other Trilogy involving Drizzt. Which of the books should I start with? How are the books? Are they action-packed? He sounds interesting from what I've heard of him. Hmm... I really have no favorite books that are... up-to-date. I haven't read a good book in forever. (In fact, I still have BabySitter's Club/Goners/Sabrina the Teenage Witch books in my bookshelf!) My dad keeps buying fantasy books, but they were really boring. The strange thing is, I used to love fantasy books. Now, I hate most of them because of their predictable-ness, angsty-ness, and/or mushiness. Has this happened to anyone? That you used to love a certain series/genre and then, later on, you start to hate the books in that genre. My favorite books in the past, and I still love and treasure: "The Hobbit" (but not any of the LoTR books, don't like them at all), most of the books by Brian Jacques, books by C.S. Lewis ("The Lion, Witch, and The Wardrobe", etc), "Ella Enchanted", Sabrina the Teenage Witch series and the DeathGate series. Nowaday, I read manga, game/anime magazines, and random books.
