^ of course you may LDM. 
I'm getting desperate so I'm rereading alot of the books on my bookshelf. I've gone through most of Robin Hardy's books and am now starting through all the Dee Henderson books. I love her Uncommon Heroes and the O'Malley series'. _________________ <center>

May I join? I've always been a massive bookworm: even in elementary school, I was going to the library and taking out ten thick books at a time. Now I need a bag lol.
Some of the stuff I've read that I like is everything Tolkien, the series by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman (Dragonlance, Death Gate, etc.), the stuff by Janny Wurts, the stuff by Raymond Feist (all things Krondor), the stuff by Tad Williams (Otherland series is ok but Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn is very good). I also like Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth novels: there's SO much suspense in them and you grow to love the characters. I liked Frank Herbert's Dune series, but it's not my favorite style of stuff to read. I also like most of Michael Crichton's novels: he's written Jurassic Park and many more good books, like Timeline. Those books are so better than the movies, though the first JP movie was good.
Also, I just finished re-reading a fantasy book I absolutely LOVED: it's one of the best I've read in a long time, and the ideas in it were ones I hadn't read about before. I admit, I bought it because of the great cover art and the blurb on the back, but the book was great. It's Elantris by Brandon Sanderson. There's a lot of suspense in it too. If you want to see a sample from the book you could go to http://www.brandonsanderson.com/page.php?id=8.

You're added to the member list Tyrhael.
Got SW: The Swarm War this afternoon. I just finished it. It had a pretty unsatisfying ending, but was okay. _________________ <center>

I just started reading this new author. She's pretty good. Joan Lowery Nixon is her name and she writes these really good teen mysteries. I just finished 3 of her books over the break.

This definately sounds like my kind of club. May I join?? I LOVE to read. And I do think that I read as much as I breathe.. I read a book a day a lot of the time. (Or more, if I have time...which I usually don't  )

Added you to the list. Welcome to the Xtreme Reader's Club.
*sigh* I have nothing to read again. This is the problem with being a speed reader- you are always running out of things to read. _________________ <center>

Oh I'd like to join this club, I love to read.
I've just started Villette by Charlotte Bronte for English Lit. It seems quite good but I find it quite hard to enjoy books that I have to read. _________________
