After reading Hyperion, I decided it was time to read something lighter, so I picked up Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett. At this point, I’ve read most of the Discworld series, but there are a few of them I haven’t yet read and this one was next in publication order. Thief of Time is definitely an enjoyable, humorous story. Other than Death and Susan and a couple of brief appearances by Nanny Ogg, it does not contain any of […]

I was quite busy for a while and unfortunately hadn’t had time to write. Or the time to read much, for that matter. I seem to be getting more time to read in now, though. Currently, I’m reading Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett. It was time for a lighter read since I just finished the four books in Dan Simmons’ Hyperion Cantos (Hyperion, The Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, and The Rise of Endymion).

This is the first time I’ve kept a blog and I don’t know if anybody will ever read this, but that’s ok, I’d just like to babble on about good books and maybe talk to other people who share my interest in fantasy. I’ve always liked reading, but in the past 3 or 4 years, I’ve really gotten into fantasy books. The use of imagination and world-building is very intriguing, especially when combined with some great characterization. Great characters are […]
