it seems i'm a little late to post on the original topic...but i'm gunna any way, so there...
i have trouble believing this hasn't been mentioned under books, especially with all the 'fantisy' (eg; lord of the rings) books
"The Thomas Covenant Chronicals" by Stephen Donaldson
"The Gap Sieries" also Donaldson
"Mazalan Books of the Fallen" Stephen Erricson
These have gotta be some of the best books ever written...well, that's my opinion anyway.
dogs, well, i got a fox terrior & he's funky...
cats, the ONLY good cat i know is my one, & she's just a mix sorta one, & a tortus shell colour.
well so there
oh yeah, & also "Obernewyton" by Issobel Carmody, "Catcher in the Rye", & the Red Dwarf books by wotsisname
