Hey Now! I thought I had read all of Zelazny's books, but never heard of this one. OK, I'm gonna have to look for this, thanks for the recommendation!

Little Woman, and I'll vote for the Little House series too. Great for getting a feel for history and for real people! Besides, the more you read a book, the earlier you start to cry for the heroine whom you KNOW is going to die (or whatever that particular heroine is going to do).

I never got over what happens to Walter in the Green Gables series, and when I re-read it I got teary every time I saw is name! And in Little Women, Beth, poor Beth... I know what you mean...
Abecedary, I know it's different, but for someone who basically can tell left and right apart, it's tough to differentiate! |

Much as I enjoy Harry Potter (and they are among my most re-read books) I couldn't, in all honesty, claim to have been reading them "all my life" .

Mayhaps Eowyn is younger than some of us, Harry! (counting myself in there too, since I can remember the moon landing, etc!

I'm not complaing, just commenting! When did they first come out? I remember hearing about them in 1998 or so, but I'm not sure they started then.

I haven't actually read *any* of them (shame on me!) I watched the first movie, and enjoyed it. Figured I ought to read the books before watching any other movies, though. And there has always been a stack of OTHER books that get precedence. Some day, though!

I prefer to listen to audiobook version of it though (released in 1993) - because it's read by Zelazny himself. Definitely a book I come back to. |
