Green, I've picked up Blue Moon Rising, and am hoping it will be just as good if not better! A big thank you to Jody who recommended me a such a good writer as Simon R. Green!! Also reading The Scarlet Letter for American Literature class. Blue Moon Rising is a great book,it is the first book in the Darkwood series. The middle books in the Darkwood series are my favorites,The Adventures of Hawk and Fisher:Guards of Haven and Swords of Haven.After Blue Moon Rising you have to read them before Return of the Blue Moon,or you will be lost. You have to find and read the Deathstalker series!!! Deathstalker is the first book. I'll get to it. But I liked the premise of Blue Moon Rising more.

Greene writes a lot of good sci fi but the Darkwood books are one of his few fantasy series,and they are very good.

After Blue Moon Rising read this:

Then this:

The finally:

Barnes & Noble(my second home)carries all these books.

Your welcome.

I can't tell you why the middle 2 are called The Adventures of Hawk and Fisher or I will blow Blue Moon Rising for you.

Trust me though.I have all his books and have read everything Greene has written.

Currently reading 'Villette' by Charlotte Bronte...

finally after waiting 2 years

The Miracle wrote: I'm in the end of the third book of Lord Of The Rings. I must say that it's very impressive and a true masterpiece. I didn't care for it before because I thought it was "for kids", but once I started reading, I see it's not at all for kids. While Hobbit was somewhat a children's book, LOTR is so much more mature. And it owns Harry Potter.

The Silmarillion is not bad either.

so does Melkor

I'm proud to say that I've got my dads first edition copy of the Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales.

does anyone here like The Wheel of Time series, by Robert Jordan?  Used to be my favorite until book 7 when I got completely bored with the series, now George RR Martin is my favorite with the impeccable A Song of Ice and Fire Series ^^

LOTR is IMO the best fantasy series ever,and I think out of all three books,The Return of the King is the best.The battle for Helms Deep in The Two Towers book RULES though.

Yes, I liked Return Of The king the best, too Haven't read Semarillion yet, but certainly going to.

Currently reading Robert Heinlein - the Puppet Masters.
