[Xerxes]

I enjoy fantasy/sci-fi, best things I've ever read are Dune (series), anything by Haruki Murakami (Kafka on the Shore, Wind-up Bird Chronicles, Wild Sheep Chase).

Never heard of GoodReads, though.

i enjoy any good science-fiction especially phillip k. d.i.c.k. or short stories from lem. short stories in general.
i like terry pratchett, neil gaiman, christopher more (the funniest author ever), stephen kings dark-tower saga (a must) or books about quantum physics and string-theorie even if is still don´t understand them
what is goodreads ?

[Lacuna]

Goodreads.com is like the facebook for bookworms. It's a good site with a lot of groups, bookclubs, reading lists, reviews, and a lot of book giveaways.

I just finished Dune a couple of days ago...what do you think of the rest of the series, Xerxes? I've had a couple people tell me not to even bother...that the rest weren't as good.

I actually read the prequels before I read Dune itself. The rest of the novels are incredible, don't listen to anyone else, forge ahead! It's some amazing passionate storytelling, and the political morals are still highly relevant today. And yeah, I recommend the prequels, too.

reading a good book is very important for me. *nods at binse* terry pratchett has written severel funny good books. or fantasy like the elves from bernhard hennen, stan nbicols, jennifer fallon... and much more. there are times to play times to read and sometimes are just for to get.. what ever..*Tesh me need a Kava-Kava drink.
