I didn't enjoy a single one of the prequels, although I agree with you that Episode III was by far the best of the bunch. I saw Ep I at the theaters, but I waited till II and III came out on TV.
Of the originals, I liked V the most by far, but IV and VI were not bad by any means. I can't say the same for I through III sadly
I read the first Dune and thought it was good. I watched the Dune movie and thought, mostly, WTF!"lol internet" ~ AAHZ

Christopher Moore has a new book out, "Fool." It's his take on King Lear (from the court jester's perspective)."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

Hey Rufus, my wife just gave me a recommendation (out of the blue, somehow she related your search to a new acquaintance/former bookseller), who immediately suggested this author.
(This is my way of saying: I have nothing to do with this.)
Author: Lee Child (a Brit)
Series: Jack Reacher
Genre: thriller, ex-military cop
There's 13 of them. Decide for yourself: http://www.leechild.com/Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011
RIP lest we forget... SG (2) and LaFayette -- Civ2 Succession Games Brothers-in-Arms

Hey, thanks! I'm about to start what looks like a promising read from British author David Peace:
His latest novel, Tokyo Year Zero (2007), follows the investigations of a Tokyo detective in the aftermath of Japan's defeat in World War II. It is based on the true story of serial killer Yoshio Kodaira. It is the first of Peace's novels to be set outside the West Riding of Yorkshire and forms the first part of a trio of books on the US occupation of Japan. The second book, due out in August 2009, will be called Occupied City, with the final one tentatively titled Tokyo Regained."I have as much authority as the pope.

Sounds great. I just read his bio on Wiki, and apparently he began his career on British TV, working on Prime Suspect and the absolutely incredible Cracker. I'm sold.

I read it and didn't particularly like it. Most of his books were okay to pass the time, but the only one I really liked was Pyramids (the first I ever read), and the one I disliked the most was Interesting Times (also the last I ever read)."lol internet" ~ AAHZ

What did you think of Small Gods? It is the other one that is a contender for my favorite.
Pyramids is better than most, but not my favorite I Think.
