Which trilogy was this?

Glad you're enjoying HP btw!

My dad thought that I was getting old enough that I really needed to get a religion, so I'm reading some buddhist books he gave me, haha

Before that thought, Anansi Boys, by Neil Gaiman.

It's set in the same universe as his book American Gods, but isn't a sequel per se.

I recently bought Socrates in Love, which is the translated version of Sekai no chuushin de, ai wo sakebu. I have yet to finish it, but so far it is really good! I am already becoming teary-eyed, since I already know what happens after watching the drama. :puppydog:

Right now I am waiting for the Kamikaze Girls novel! :victory:

oooh the trilogy was the samaria trilogy by sharon shinn... the original trilogy consists of Archangel, Jovah's Angel, & The Alleluia Files... kinda girly maybe but really really good! and she also came out with Angelica & Angel-Seeker after... which are also Samaria novels but I guess just not part of the original trilogy... :sweat:


ooooh you just read shadow of the giant??? thats a GOOD book.. i LOVE the entire shadow saga!!! bean was my favorite so... i liked them more than the books following ender's story :D

Have you ender fans read First Meetings? It's a set of 3 short stories that take place in the enderverse plus a reprint of the original ender's game novella.

So good!

Ah ic, i was thinking of a series i read on a young Merlin or something - don't quite remember now but it wasn't too bad.

Yeah, the shadow series was excellent - exciting, to say the least.

Haven't read the ones following Ender's story though - tried starting once and it just felt too different.

And nope, haven't heard of First Meeting before - I'll look into that...thx

hahaha nah... my trilogy was some girly thing... =D

i read speaker for the dead and i didnt like it because the science behind it made NOOOOO sense... so i was told not to read any more cuz they just get more and more implausible and i'd end up hating it... i did try reading xenocide i think, or maybe it was the one following that... but i stopped prematurely... it was prolly good advice. bean tho is AWESOME!!! :thumbsup:


i should look into first meeting too.. thanks nagashi!

np :)

First meetings, while very short (200 pages), was really really fun to read because of the premise. The name of the book really is what it's all about: First Meetings.

The first short story is about how Ender's father meets his mother, the 2nd is about how Ender's parents meet Colonel Graff, and the 4th is about how Ender meets Jane (who you may not remember if you didn't read much of Speaker for the Dead. She's a central character in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Ender books).

It was so sad for me for the Bean quartet to end! ah well, maybe he'll fill in the time between where Bean leaves and Peter dies =/

Haven't read any of these. Only read Ender's Game for my Summer Reading assignment at the end of my Sophmore year. Loved that book :mrgreen:

If I have time I would like to read the books that follows this and the ones leading up to Ender's game.


Right now, I'm about to try and finish this boring book about Robinson Crusoe. Never have a read a book as boring as this. Guy whines so much and out of nowhere starts to thank God for everything. Meets a cannibal on an island and what not. This part is kinda funny in a way.

i'm reading murakami haruki's 'norweigan wood' again. a great book. i'd love to see it made in to a movie. hopefully with japanese actors! :hehe:

A Wikipedia bio on Ayrton Senna.

currently reading....totto-chan, really cute and funny. jst finished socrates in love. and i can't miss my shojo beat.

We'll be reading Beggers Operah I think it was next.......that or some poetry :sweat:

I just finished Mysterious Skin by Scott Heim and loved it. Now I'm working through Murakami's The Wind-up Bird Chronicle (still! I keep starting other books... :shakehead:) and A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray

Just finished At All Costs by David Weber...very spectacular ending - can't wait til the next book!
