Some books are more boring than others but some are excellent like 'Chasm City', 'Century Rain' and 'The Prefect'.

"Path of Daggers" is book 8 and Robert Jordan has published up to book 11 so far. The last of the series, "A Memory of Light" is book 12 and won't be released until 2009. Wheel of Time is one of my favorite series.
I just finished "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" as well as Orson Scott Card's book "Sarah", which was simply lovely.The undeserving maintain power by promoting hysteria.Comment

Great Oogly Mooglies!! I stumbled across Orson Scott Card's Empire. I'm about 1/3 of the way through. It's the best political thriller I've read in years -- better than The DeVinci Code and in the same league as the ending in The Sum of All Fears.Originally posted by Zkribbler
