i agree, i found the first a bit of a slog. I read it this year on my kindle after having bought the book when i was at uni, 10years ago! The characters were interesting enough but there's only so many battles i can be bothered with.

Likewise the Wheel of time books, read 5, then needed a break!

OH god, was there anything duller than the Wheel of Time !, didn't the author die before he finished them ? or perhaps he got as bored as the rest of us

glad it wasn't just me. Robert Jordan did die, but im sure someone took over the story? I can't imagine i'll pick that story up again.

All his Pug series are crap, but his Daughter of the Empire series he did with Janny Wurts is bloody brilliant, definitely worth a read

Try Game of Thrones......amazing books.....best I have read in years.

Lol,I didn't like the Empire books at all, much preferred the Pug books, the early ones anyway.

Yup

Old thread I know but my Kindle is on order and Im v excited

I love my kindle! Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine

Enjoy, I think I have now converted several luddits like myself since I have had mine.

I'd go for one but I pick my books up for 50p each at boot sales----and that means no contest unless I am travellinbg.

Mum loves hers but managed to order a book the other day when she thought it was a sample! Still she isn't doing bad for an 86 year old who is appallingly bad technically!
