I think I posted here once before.... Anyways, my tastes have probably changed dramatically by now, so I'll settle for naming a few of the best books I can remember reading:

The Return of Merlin by Deepak Chopra
The Forever King by Molly Cochran - one of a trilogy, only I never knew until just now
(I always get the above two confused, actually. I liked Return of Merlin best, but when I read the blurb I thought it was Forever King, so who knows? LOL)
The Dark is Rising quartet (or is it quintet?) by Susan Cooper
All of the above are Arthurian fantasy, actually...hmm. Oh, better add;
The Pendragon Cycle by Stephen Lawhead (also Arthurian, obviously. I was going through a phase... :roll: :lol: )

The Magician's House quartet by William Corlett
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
1984 by George Orwell
His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman
Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie (yes, I still love it)
Cross Stitch by Diana Gabaldon

Hey, Boni_bee, I read Biggles too! Heh I collect them. I will refrain from pointing out the other books mentioned that I've also read, as that would take forever hehee
Got a poem or short story you want me to critique?

There is only one success: to be able to spend your life in your own way, and not to give others absurd maddening claims upon it. (C D Morley)



Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.
