Falkenberg Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 I've been part of the webscription program since it started about two to three years ago. So I've amassed quite a collection already of the various months they sell. While the CDs are nice to download, they still don't contain the entire catalog and most of the time the contents are redundant. Lately though due to the increasing lowering value of the peso, I've found myself limited to just buying a single book here and there from their release. I've been resorting to e-donkey/overnet and even kazaalite and yet still I can't find some of the baen books available for download. Would you happen to know if there is a good copy of The Reaches by David Drake available for download via P2P? Nope, haven't seen The Reaches by David Drake in e-book form thru P2P yet. But if I do, I'll download it and inform you....also sent you a PM Quote Link to comment

SlamBanger Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 The Merlin series by Mary Stewart - The Crystal Cave, Hollow Hills, and The Last Enchantment. Its a different take on the King Arthur legend. pards, there is a fourth book to this series entitled "The Wicked Day"... fyi. Quote Link to comment
SlamBanger Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I love the "Myth Adventures" series of Robert Lynn Asprin... its light reading and quite funny... i suggest that you read this series in chronological order so as to be able to follow the flow of the story... Quote Link to comment

kundera Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 author: milan kunderanovel: the unbearable lightness of being i've also read all his other novels (there are 10 of them). profound yet comical. Quote Link to comment
MA Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Hmm, I have a copy of all seven(7) of them. Or shall I say, had. They make good reading and it took a while before I was able to read all seven(7). But that was a while back and I've loaned/given most of them away. Seven nga ba? Let's see:DeathWarTimeFateNatureEvilGood Yup, seven(7) nga. I'll see if I still have a copy of the last two. Since they're relatively the latest, I might still have my copies of them. Although for me, the first about Death was the best. You can try Booksale, I've seen several used books of this series there. Thony's suggestion of the Apprentice Adept series by Piers Anthony is also good. Oh yea, I remember Death. I also remember crying while reading the book. Uy, if you have pa the rest...can I borrow? Quote Link to comment
Fahfrd Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 (edited) Mga boss, maari po ba akong magtanong kung meron na sainyong nakapag-basang mgagawa ni Umberto Eco? heavy reading ba syao liesure? Salamat po. :cool: :mtc: :mtc:Hi Letoatredis, I'm guessing that you're a big Dune fan. One of Umberto Eco's books was assigned to us to book report when I was in High School, so I have always thought of Umberto Eco as a "serious" writer and not for leisure. That book report requirement just totally spoiled his works for me since I always associate him now with homework. I think that the bpooks title was "The Name of the Rose". Which was also made into a TV movie. Edited May 31, 2004 by Fahfrd Quote Link to comment

Yup, Robert Lynn Asprin is a good writer. I've read the series he created and edited "Thieve's World" and it is very good. I like the short stories he wrote for that world. A shame that there never was a closure to that series. One of the better ones I've been able to read. Quote Link to comment
Fahfrd Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Oh yea, I remember Death. I also remember crying while reading the book. Uy, if you have pa the rest...can I borrow? Sure, I would be happy to. I'm pretty sure that I still have the last book about the incarnation of Good, "And Eternity". And I think that I also still have the one about the incarnation of Evil, "For Love of Evil". Anyway, I'll put it in my car so that, if ever we meet, I can loan them to you. Quote Link to comment

Well, I was a wide reader when I was younger, too. It soon became apparent to me though, that I really enjoy the sci-fi and fantasy genre. So now, I almost exclusively read books in the genre na lang. Do you also enjoy books of the sci-fi bent? Quote Link to comment
Wyld Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 at this point id say i read almost anything. except... mushy romance novels of the danielle steele genre... :boo: i even enjoy biographies now. Quote Link to comment
