Hell yeah it was depressing, and the beginning of the Drawing of Three doesn't really 'lighten' the mood...

Dude, it's Stephen King. There is no lightening the mood with him. Try "Life Expectancy" by Dean Koontz. I must have most of that book memorized I've read it so often!

Dear sweet maker, Alright so the Drawing of the Three started off a bit slow, then it got intense as all hell, now I've chewed through both it, and the Wasteland, I'm a little more than halfway through Wizard and Glass. I can wholeheartedly give this series my endorsement.

I still say you should try Life Expectancy - easily my favourite book. Which is odd, since I was leery of reading it - I'd heard that it wasn't the author's usual style, and I love Dean Koontz, so I was worried the book would ruin him for me. Needless to say, it didn't.

Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" - this man is seriously the next Tolkien. He's already published around 25 books. I so badly want to read his whole production, but I seriously fear that it might take months - and hundreds of euros what I currently don't have

I hate to break it to you, but that series will never be finished - Robert Jordan died years ago. I found out while I was still working at the library and immediately stopped reading the series to avoid the cliffhanger that never stops hanging.

The Wheel of Time Series IS finished. Jordan completed work on the last book, and passed on the details of that last few bits to another before he died, so that story saga has been completed, at the very least. Unfortunately, I've got an eng. lit major buddy who goes deep into fantasy, and warned me that the books begin to drop off after book five... so I'm a bit worried.

um I'm reading sapphique by Catherine Fisher. (Is this the part where I give a brief summary?)Sapphique is the second book Incarceron is the first. It takes place in the future where people have been restricted to using the technologies of like 15th century europe. Meanwhile in a place not as far away as you think there is a living prison that does whatever it wants to it's inmates. It's hard to udnerstand how the two are tied together at first but once you read through it a good portion it falls together. As it constantly changes between the two setting or the nitty gritty, rough life in the prison to the very regulated, conformist life of the outside world it keeps you intertained and realy picked up under halfway through the book. The ending definitely got me hooked into reading the second. there are some parts you may be able to predict but there are some parts that can really slap you in the face and make you do a double take.

Reading the Harry Potter series again, and it's as good at 20 as it was at 10. God I love these books...
