i'm slowing making my way through the dry as bones J.R.R. Tolkien Comapanion and Guide by hammond and scull. some good scholorship there. I already read the children of hurin but want to read it through a second time.

I'm going to re-read the entire history of Middle Earth Series, and the Lord of the rings while waiting on the 70th anniversary edition of the hobbit and making of and fascimile manuscript.

I need to re-read the shannara series since it has been optioned for film with the first movie being elfstones. though my fave is sword despite being a poor mans knock off of lotr.

I'm stuck in two fantasy series and forget how far i got in reading them they are the sword of truth and wheel of time series. still need to make my way through george r.r. martin's a song of fire and ice.

I finished reading the making of star wars and thought it was a good book despite screenshots being from the special edition or lucas comments being re-writing of history.

I need some suggestions on good science fiction and fanasty. Something besides Star Wars, Harry Potter, or Lord of the Rings.

Pick up The Essential Ellison 50 year edition. Lots of great, classic short stories in the "speculative" fiction area. Definitely one of the best writers America has produced in the last century.

Right now I'm re-reading the Harry Potter book so I'm all caught up for the new book. I also just finished Jekyll and Hyde. I plan on reading The Art of War, and Angels and Demons soon.
