Z0rPr1me (7:46:43 PM): :-)

Z0rPr1me (7:47:28 PM): i dont think there was a dull moment in the story.
QueenSidhe (7:48:15 PM): As I said earlier and on the board, I think fiction expresses the same themes and ideas as sff. But
Z0rPr1me (7:48:16 PM): Was that his first book ?
QueenSidhe (7:48:26 PM): I'm not sure why one holds my attention better than the other.
KWM01 (7:48:45 PM): I liked the part where Harry busts into Marcone's place
Z0rPr1me (7:48:52 PM): oh yeah
QueenSidhe (7:48:57 PM): That was good.
QueenSidhe (7:49:03 PM): I think it was his first, Zor.
KWM01 (7:49:04 PM): no, not his first book
royw365 (7:49:10 PM):

KWM01 (7:55:38 PM): yeah
royw365 (7:55:49 PM): ive never really had a preference as to pov
Z0rPr1me (7:56:04 PM): pov?!
QueenSidhe (7:56:07 PM): point of view
KWM01 (7:56:15 PM): always hated it when the author jumps around
Z0rPr1me (7:56:15 PM): new one cool!
QueenSidhe (7:56:21 PM): Just the quality of the writting and if it catches your attention?
QueenSidhe (7:56:52 PM): Multiple povs can be good but sometimes I just want to stick with one character.
QueenSidhe (7:57:01 PM): Then I end up skipping chapters.
Z0rPr1me (7:57:04 PM): I seems to prefer hero's pov lately.
royw365 (7:57:08 PM): nod, same here, i dont really care which is used, just dont change mid-book without making it clear as

Z0rPr1me (8:01:46 PM): same for me
royw365 (8:02:05 PM): but then again, i love the hobbit and LotR, but cant finish the silmarillion
Z0rPr1me (8:02:32 PM): never tried silmarillion since everybody tells me its tough and boring!
royw365 (8:02:49 PM): just think extremely detail oriente
royw365 (8:02:57 PM): oriented
KWM01 (8:03:06 PM): For some reason, I've avoided the classics.
Z0rPr1me (8:03:20 PM): I like dialogue more
Z0rPr1me (8:03:35 PM): long description tend to bore me near death :-)
royw365 (8:03:44 PM): imho, the classics are ok, but they dont hold my attention like newer stuff
KWM01 (8:03:52 PM): yeah
Z0rPr1me (8:03:58 PM): How so?
royw365 (8:04:10 PM): take ringworld
Z0rPr1me (8:04:13 PM): It depends for me. LOTR was AWESOME IMO
Z0rPr1me (8:04:15 PM): =)
royw365 (8:04:21 PM): or better yet, the foundation series
Z0rPr1me (8:04:24 PM): but then again i read it in french hehehe
royw365 (8:04:38 PM): great reads, but not as good as shannara
Z0rPr1me (8:04:52 PM): gotta try those
royw365 (8:05:16 PM): although shannara got longwinded around scions
royw365 (8:05:35 PM): thomas covenant is better imo than foundation
Z0rPr1me (8:06:11 PM): I read foundation but not covenant.
Z0rPr1me (8:06:17 PM): im like a newbie...
Z0rPr1me (8:06:28 PM): read the classic only
Z0rPr1me (8:06:30 PM): :-)
royw365 (8:06:43 PM): lol, we're all like that compared to each other
royw365 (8:06:57 PM): there are plenty of books youve read that i havent and vice versa
KWM01 (8:07:13 PM): The classics IMO tend to be more black and white, the modern books bring in complications.
Z0rPr1me (8:07:15 PM): I read some nice french sci-fi. wish they would be translated.... so you could all enjoy them
royw365 (8:07:37 PM): exactly
Z0rPr1me (8:07:45 PM): kelvin - true
Z0rPr1me (8:08:39 PM): But after reading the first wizard first rule book... i kind of prefer 300 pages books than 500+ pages
Z0rPr1me (8:08:43 PM): books
royw365 (8:09:28 PM): hmm, ive always liked the bigger ones, if i can read it in one afternoon i feel like i got gypped...
royw365 (8:09:31 PM): and paid too much
Z0rPr1me (8:09:57 PM): i see your point. but im slow reader so.... i never finish a book in one afternoon :-)
