Can you tell I am an "Alan Dean Foster" Fan?

Another good and long series are books by Larry Niven. Ringworld and the like. Almost all of his books fit into this universe. Even the Man/Kzinti Wars series of short stories by mostly other authors.

Truzenzuzex. Tru of the family Zen of the clan Zu and the hive Zex. (That is scary that I knew it from memory) I wonder who has the movie rights to these books? Computer characters are starting to get good enough to do this.

I just finished reading the World War II: balance books. Very good. Can't wait to read the Colonization books when I get the chance to collect them all. Currently I'm reading the Star Wars novel The Cestus Deception. I know it's not exactly new, but I'm reading it now. I also have the SW: Jedi Trial and the SW3 nonvelization books to read. Need to get SW: Labyrinth of Evil, but I haven't seen it around the stores recently. May have to order it from the Sci-Fi book club, but even with their sales, that shiping & handling kills you.

Resurrecting this thread...

I would recommend "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell" by Susanna Clarke. It came out last year and is now in paperback (trade) size.

It made a lot of folks' booklists for good reason. I am almost done with it, but would heartily recommend it to any one who likes fantasy books.
