Anyone read this collection and love them as much as I do?

No, horror/fantasy is a waste of time for an educated mind. IMO

Benjamin 17-03-2012 11:54 PM

Are you taking the actual piss? It's not often many comments piss me off, but that there was one of them. How bloody idiotic saying horror and fantasy are a waste of time for an educated mind.

I agree! any book is brill! :)

Benjamin 18-03-2012 12:03 AM

I would call that goading too. ;)

Benjamin 18-03-2012 12:05 AM

I actually was about to go into a whole rant about horror and fantasy, lol.

You should definitely check them out though, they aren't his usual style of writing and it's more fantasy than horror.

Benjamin 18-03-2012 12:14 AM

Cannot argue with that. :hugesmile:

Kizzy 18-03-2012 12:15 AM

I wish I could say the same, I read fact not fiction.
I get jealous of those who 'get lost' in books.

MTVN 18-03-2012 12:16 AM

Too educated for your own good Kizzy

I love being able to get lost in books. Creating a vision in your head as your read through and getting so gripped by the journey that you lose track of time and find you've been reading for hours.

Don't you like fiction at all Kizzy?

Kizzy 18-03-2012 12:46 AM

I didn't say i didn't like it, i said i didn't read it.
And no im not too educated, when im as educated as you MTVN I will be happy :)

GypsyGoth 18-03-2012 12:56 AM

I will read them, maybe next year though, as I've a fair few things on my to-read list at the moment.

And I did start the series before but I don't think I gave it a chance and stopped after 30 pages or so.

Benjamin 18-03-2012 01:01 AM

The first book is quite slow going, but it's not very long. It's setting the scene for the rest of the series.
