I read like 8 of the Wheel of Time books before I said "wow, I'm really not enjoying this, I quit". I just didn't like them. I'm not into fantasy all that much. I did enjoy LoTR okay, and loved the movies (mostly because of all the beautiful boys in it though) although the movies bugged me cause they didn't follow the books, particularly at the end.

Just finished reading Shem Creek by Dorothea Benton Frank. If you don't like the south, and you don't want a woman's perspective on things, these books are not for you. However, I love them. They're funny, and a pretty apt description of what living in the south is really like. I see enough of my family, my friends and myself in the characters in them that they make me laugh. Looking for Pawley's Island, her next book. I used to vacation there when I was a child, so I'm looking forward to it.

Morgan, I went to a bookstore this weekend and looked for the other Marion Zimmer Bradley books but they didn't have any. I'm still looking though.
