never heard of ursula le guin
hm i read tolkien when i was 13 i think, soo long ago :D hobbit is more recent. it was not bad. but as far as children's fantasy books go there's much better ones.

lord of the flies i thought was pretty good. but quite long ago since i read it. never read one of the holmes books yet. i always feel like i should try one at least once... but what i know from detective stories always bored me :p
(except for the few by poe though, so maybe there's hope after all)

ive just read the raven cos of the famous 'nevermore'bit,but you're right about detective stories total bore !i should get the telltale heart by poe,its supposed to be good
swisslady

the majority of his stuff is very good. telltale heart too, the house of usher is one of my favorites. his detective tales i like less but they're still better than every other detective thing i ever read or watched

I expected autism and returned to find literary criticism. I cannot express the joy I feel in mere words.

haven't read lewis either. not that much into fantasy or relatively modern children's books. there are so many amazing children's books pre-WWII that i consider most later ones a waste of time to be honest...
alice' adventures in wonderland, the winds in the willows, the land of green ginger, the wonderful wizard of oz come to mind, to name a couple :)

H&T feel free to join in ;p

I have a massive thing for pulp fantasy. Give me Elric of Melnibone or Dragons of Autumn Twilight over Pride and Prejudice or War and Peace any day. It's not that I don't understand the more 'respectable' works, they're just boring in comparison.

Surprisingly grim, actually. The Tin Woodsman basically was so incompetent that he cut off all his limbs and replaced them with metal prostheses.
