^lol... the only reason holidays can suck... other then not having anything to do or any friends to hang around with...
I did manage to score some books from my sisters. They aren't the best. More like little kids books... like "The Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle and some Golden books.. and some doctor Zeus books... fun....

^^ Good on you... I finally have something productive to read. Chemistry text books... excitting... must remember the first 36 periodic elements... grrr.... Taking Chemistry, Biology and Physics for subjects at school is frusturating... so I advise anyone who intends to take all three, be very careful and make sure you enjoy science... lol

Yes. I read them also. The Fool is my fav character... Well when my computer was broken i finished reading the Tawny man trilogy. I hate finishing such a great trilogy, I told myself I wouldn't read it to fast but the second my computer broke I devoured it. Hmm well I like the fool but in Fool's fate and the previous two books he doesn't act much fool like. I like Fitz (not tom) though he has to be my fav, and not because he's the main character. He won be default, all the characters are made pretty well. What I didn't like about Fool's fate for a series finale it leaves tons of questions unanswered. Yeah.... I had checked online to see if Robin hobb had written any other books in the Elderling world and then I learned Robin isn't her real name.

lol.
^^It is interesting to find someone with a similar interest in books, especially when you both have read them. The Fool was one of my favourites, only after Verity. I liked Verity's character the most out of all of them. The Fool on the other hand was a challenge, which I like about characters.
I wish I hadn't read it as fast either, because now I can barely ever find any books that match it. I wish I hadn't discovered it, so I could start reading it again and discover it.. lol... if you know what I mean. Have you read the Liveship Traders Trilogy? Also by Robin Hobb...
I am currently reading a novel for english. Based on politics. I really dislike politics... grr
Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. I really hate to say it, but I am not enjoying it at all. The only reason I am reading it, is because I will have a major assignment on it.... hmmm....

No I was going to buy it. I kinda skipped it because I had thought none of the previous characters were in it. The choice was between the Liveships trader trilogy and the Tawny man Trilogy.
If your looking for books to read, I heard Robin Hobb wrote a new trilogy. It is in its own world and has nothing to do with the others but it still sounds good to me. I had read it thought. I think the name is the soldier son trilogy or something like that.

I think the name is the soldier son trilogy or something like that. Well, in a way the Liveship Trilogy does have something to do with the previous characters. It took me awhile to figure out, but The Fool actually exists in the Liveship Trilogy and that is how he comes to know everything about the dragons in the Tawny Man Trilogy. lol.... yep took me a second time around to figure it out. If you look at most of the covers on the Tawny Man Trilogy, especially on the last book (I think), the cover is not as simple as it appears. The character image on the blurb is actually two characters put together... it is really hard to depict, but very interesting once you see it. Yeah, I've heard of the new books. They are out now, I'm planning to get them as soon as possible. Robin Hobb is in my top writers lists. lol Currently Reading: Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, The Sophocles Theban Plays and Weather Witch-- Book Three of the Crowthistle Cronicles (That is alot of reading...lol)
