Sword of Truth Series!

http://www.terrygoodkind.com/

my freind is currently reading these, hes the one that got me into shannara, so i will be checking them out soon.

i need to find a great book as addictive as harry potter lol, read the 7th in 3 days (record was 6th in 1 1/2)

havnt read any of em twice though, thinking about taking a run back through the series.

when i was in 6th grade i checked out hp 1-4 and read them all in 2 days then i read the next ones that come out in a day maybe 2
but i read on average of 3-5 books a week/// unless there western short stories then i can read 2-3 a day and by short story i mean 2xx-4xx pages

books with 1k+ pages take me a day maybe 2 i read the hole sword of truth series in 4 days think there was 10 out when i read them

other good stories
the dark sun series
makers of the universe
riverworld(hard to get into but great read)
dayworld
dragon stone series
drizzt do-ur den series
a (song or tale cant remeber) of ice and fire
anuther good one i cant remeber but i know name of first book in series (A/the) prince of dogs

all i can think of off hand

I find it a little hard to believe that you could read the Sword of Truth series in that period of time, maybe if you're reading 18 hours a day you can read one a day, but nomore than that. Unless, that is, you're just skipping lines...

The SoT is OK, just after books 3 the series just starts getting a little tedious and the morality is just annoying.

try the dark tower series, by stephen king

book one is called the gunslinger i think, first book is short (so not too heavy of a read to sorta feel it out and see if you like it)

then each of the following 6 books is larger than the last, i was hooked, great series, wish it wouldve gone on longer

its kinda sad, alot of the main characters die throughout, but the ending is a huge twist (guess thats what king is good at)
