I've just finished the new Harry Potter book and it's much better than the last one. It's a break from what I usually read, William Gibson, Bruce Sterling y'know, cyberpunk...

I've been reliving my childhood by reading all of the "Dragonlance Books". Very satisfying if you're into that kind of thing. ;^) But if you've never read them either the "Tarzan" or the "John Carter of Mars" series (both by Edgar Rice Burroughs) are great light reads. Essentially both are often the same archetypical story repeated over ("I'm lost!" or "I must save Jane/Deja Thoras!" are the two most common threads). But in that there's a lot of style and, especially in the Mars stories, some wonderfully backward science. ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase Studio MX with Flash Pro from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=51 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:168791 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
