I am about half way through The First King of Shannara, by Terry Brooks. So far..I am sad to say I am not all too impressed. It has its "oh, COOL" moments, but not too many. Maybe they increase towards the end, but so far the story is very predictable, and generally stereotype.
But i am reading on. After this, I am either doing the next David Eddings series, or a book on the black markt by Eric Schlosser.

Morb specifically requested that it stay. I think it's cool because it makes the site unique -- we're the only one that has a forum for this as far as I know. Besides, there are people who take the site seriously enough that they move beyond the General Section every once in a while.

Hey! Don't point that at me. I specifically visited this forum, didn't I? The fact that I did so to point out my discontent with its return is irrelevant. Ah well, at least it's below anything I'd want to visit.

PM from morbaruk with the title "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH":
What has happened to my Shannara board!? Whether anyone posted or not, I still wanted it, for the future.
Hey, it's not harming. Personally, it reads like LotR part 4, so I think I am finishing this prequel and giving it a rest.

I visit EVERY board. Even if i don't know what the thing is about. The only board on the whole front page that has the stupid Island symbol is the SEX board, but hopefully that will change soon.

I've only got islands on the magic section. I kinda gave up looking there since I quit.

I've got 4 Islands: SW Galactic Battlegrounds Starcraft Warcraft / World of Warcraft Diablo, Diablo II And that's because I don't play any of them. Of course, I haven't read Shannara, either... yet somehow I'm the moderator of this forum.

yeah, they're linked from eM, and eM changed some of it's visuals, including mana symbols, so they changed here too.

Of course, I haven't read Shannara, either... yet somehow I'm the moderator of this forum. I assigned Mods boards so that they were covered. You are not required to visit this board if you don't wish to, it's just a formality. PS: Finished it...and I'll stick with David Eddings...or Barney books.

Don't worry Morb, from what I have heard, it's a really great series, and I plan on getting The Heritage of Shannara from a friend...then I'll come too;D

Yeah, after I finish some of the other series I'm reading, I plan to get into Shannara as well.
Morb, have you read Brooks' other fantasy series (Landover)? I'm wondering if that one's any good.
