    Pamela Stephenson's "Billy", quite good so far and very revealing.

    Finished "Dragons Of A Fallen Sun", now reading "Dragons Of A Lost Star". The first book wasn't amazing - too much silliness and unlikely characters - but it was interesting enough to make me want to read the second one straight after.

    I've just finnished "The Druids of Shannara" and "The Elf Queen of Shannara" and am now taking a break before I read the last one.

    So at the mo I'm reading "The Last Legion" its very good I Highly reccommend it, but its not for young kids.

    (Arrgh I sounded like an adult then! :eek: )

    YEAH! i have finished all of Matthew Reilly's books and let my tell you, i would strongl recommend you read them.
    Reason: i was up to past 12am when i was reading any of his books, they are just not put-downable (is that a word?) but now im deciding on what to read next, any suggestions? i like to mainly read fantasy/sci-fi, but matthew reilly just urged me of getting out of the habit of reading fantasy all my life, so i did (for a brief period of time)

    [​IMG] 'The Thran' by J. Robert King. It's a lot better than I expected it to be, in fact parts of it are sheer brilliance.

    Gates of Fire - Fictional account of the battle of Thermoplyae. But it is really much more than that. The historical detail is awesome.

    Good choice, DMC. Since you're a lawyer, I'm sure you found the opening of the book, and early life of JA, more than a little interesting.
