I loved Farseers, will I be disappointed if I read The Tawny Man because my expectations are so high?

Well, the same characters that were in Farseers return in Tawny Man, except much older. That's maybe why I like Farseers more, it deals with when Fitz and the Fool were young, it's more rewarding to read when the young underdogs succeed. But The Tawny Man is definitely a good addition to the story of Fitz and the Fool

Finishing TFiOS the other day and gotta say it's a fine book. John Green has such a unique humor that makes me smile across every pages even though I should feel sad for the characters

On another note, every time I do sth "unhealthy" like skipping meals, I felt like Gus and Hazel are watching me LOL and that I should be responsible for having a healthy body (weird much?)

Planning to read Will Grayson next but still on the waiting-list

I like WG the least of all the books I've read from JG

[pyro-53]

Really? Probably because it's a collaborative work?
Anyway, WG is the only book left on my JG list.

I just started reading All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten and I must say I really really enjoy reading it.  I would give it 12 out of 10

Finally finished the Otherland series by Tad Williams, must say, it was very good sci-fi!

I kept going back to the date when it was published and thinking "Whoa...our society is so much like that now...how could he foretell it so many years ago, when technology was in its infancy???"

Good read for those into virtual reality and rouge AI's and the quest for immortality

Ahh, another delicious dsytopian novel

I'm 'dipping' into books at the moment which I don't have time to read ( I know it really doesn't do them justice...)

I'm reading bits of Walt Whitman's poetry and pieces of G.K Chesterton's biography and a little more Ulysses.

I'm also trying to read this book my brother lent me - " The Fabric of the Cosmos. We've had this deal going for like a year that if I read it he'll read 1984. I think I got the sore end of the deal there...haha. It's like...

I love Stephen King, every book of his that I've read (except for Dreamcatcher, that was meh), I've loved.

But, the only book that's ever made my tear up a bit was weirdly Frankenstein - the "monster"'s striving for an identity of its own really got to me for some reason haha

Are all of Stephen King's books horror-themed? The Dark Tower series isn't, right?
I'm not too good with horror so I avoid those
