Have any of you read the merlin books, by t.a. barron? I've just read the first and it was amazing; I was wondering about the others.

Oh, and tip- if you read them, read the great tree of avalon first; it gives you a lot of interesting insight and lets you really feel like you know the characters. Even though technically it's supposed to come after.

Speaking of Sherlock Holmes [who is history's most amazing detective, by the way], have any of you guys seen the BBC show Sherlock?
It's a modern adaption of the stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and it is the most amazing thing I've ever seen.
I wrote a fanfiction about it, actually. [But not like those weird fanfictions where you ship random couples. It's an alternate ending to the last episode.]

THAT IS THE BEST SHOW EVER. THERE IS NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT'S SEXINESS EPICNESS. <333333

Hem. Anyways. So I guess I'll check out Sherlock Holmes then Hey, any of you read M is for Magic, by Neil.. Whats-his-face? He wrote Coraline, I can't remember his last name. I got it from the library but it looked a little weird.. Reviews?

His name is Neil Gaiman. I haven't read M is for Magic, but I have read many of his other books, and he is a weird author. Actually, my favorite book by him was only one in which he co-authored, Good Omens. That one was by him and Terry Pratchett. (Speaking of Terry, Nation was so good! And frustrating! I love happily-ever-afters, and then he had to go and end it like that! ) Good Omens is the third funniest book I've ever read, and certainly one of the most interesting. It has what you would call... wry humor, I guess.

And I am late on this count, but 1984! I could go on for hours about that book!!!!! Even though I utterly despised it and always will because of the stupidly realistic way he ended it, it is by far the most influential novel I have ever read (influential on myself, I mean). I am constantly finding myself making little references to it! I hate that!!!

(Hmmm... I just thought of another book I'd like to discuss, but I'll hold off on that thought for right now.)

I read the Great Tree, unfortunately, my library didn't carry any of the others It was really good.

[AzureSky]

Aww, sorry
The others were amazing! Have you read the lost years of merlin?

[smileyranger]

So... how have you guys been? I promise I haven't been dead. So.. what's going on? It seems violin practice, yahoo groups, email, youtube, blogger and tumblr (yes, I have fallen for that wonderful site called tumblr) have taken up a lot of my internet time.

Sorry I'm so horrid to the beloved armeh xD

Me! Me! * Raises hand high and shakes vigorously* I LOVE those books!!! T.A Barren FTW! I completely adore the Merlin Books! He was all,
" I am so tiny and weak!" and then the dude speeds up his growth and suddenly its,
" OMG I'm a giant!"
So I totally butchered that summary, but you get the idea...

[AzureSky]

I know, I read the first one... I loved that part. Fantastic ending
And when they found the little guy who claimed to be a giant, I, having previously read the great tree of avalon, was like, "oh my goodness- that is so shim!" and when he met rhiannon, I was like, "haha I know she's your sister and you don't! I know more about you than you yourself do!" and it was amazing. In fact, everything I've read by T.A. Barron is amazing.
Anyway, enough rambling. Summary: Amazing books! [/end favorite books ramble]
