At this point, I feel like I've read a pretty good deal of fantasy, but I've come to realize that my experience with the genre does not extend back very far. Yes, I've read The Lord of the Rings, A Wizard of Earthsea, and most of the Amber series, but other than those, most of the novels I've read have been pretty recent. As such, I've wanted to dip my toes into some older works for awhile now and a chance stop at a local bookshop gave me the perfect opportunity. I found a used copy of the first of the Elric saga for a couple bucks and in great, if yellowed, condition and I couldn't resist. Overall, I really liked this novel. After reading so many bulky epic fantasy tomes, it was nice to pick up a book that was a bit shorter. The first Elric novel harkens back to the early 1970s when sword and sorcery novels were short, pulpy, and at the height of their reign. These were the novels, as much as Tolkien's, that inspired Dungeons and Dragons which, in turn, inspired generations of authors. And that's exactly how it felt, like I was reading a foundational novel. Elric of Melnibone is a tightly written story that is short and to the point, but does not lack for adventure. It truly was a fantastic tale that was full of magic and heroism. I really enjoyed how imaginative the story was. Elric is an interesting character too. He is the leader of his people, a race seemly beyond its golden age. Elric understands that they must change or be swept away with time and they resent him for it. He sees and feels things that his people cannot and he is alone because of it. Eventually, the resentment leads to a feud and a rollicking adventure ensues filled with magic ships, magic swords, a journey into the netherworld, and damsels in distress. What's not to like? I'm definitely looking forward to continuing the series.
This book got me into nonfiction.
So...this book rocked. Luis was different than Carlos or Alex. And Nikki was very very different from Kiara or Brittney. It's amazing how the author had wrote these three novels. I was truely captivated and on the edge of my seat. Their love story was truely unique. I also felt like we got a lot of the family love in this. Lots more interaction from all the brothers. It was nice. And Nikki is one badass chica. And the epilogue...let's just say I am holding my breath that she'll write about Luis's son Junior. I think it would be epic.

Como Dante, el protagonista de este libro (infierno) tiene que recorrer nueve círculos escalonados, nueve niveles infernales correspondientes a otros tantos crímenes y penas. Pero en este infierno-biblioteca sólo hay un demonio, el bibliotecario, y los condenados son los propios libros. ¿O acaso el único condenado es el perplejo protagonista (y con él el lector), atrapado en un infierno a la medida y enfrentado a un diablo hecho a su imagen y semejanza? En este libro, que es ingenio, juego y narración, Carlo Frabetti nos propone una reflexión irónica sobre la visión del mundo que subyace a nuestra cultura. Un divertimento lleno de sabiduría y agudeza.
This is in fact the edition I read. Rescued from the transfer station. Short and sweet and read last night. The illustrations were plentiful but only so-so artistically. The story of Buck... Super Dog. A pretty good adventure tale with some pithy writing by JL. Not so good: Indians as villains, Buck's dreams of the "Hairy Man". An honest attempt to get into the heads and "society" of the working dogs of the gold fields. There have been a few movies made but all switch to the human "drama" and include women in the cast. The only woman in this story doesn't stick around long. Probably the inspiration for the incredibly boring comic strip "Mark Trail".

A keeper. I am going to get a copy.
Amazing true story of a family of six that take a year to sail around the world. How they survive a nearly fatal crash. You can't put it down. I am recommending it to everyone!! You have to read this, it's incredible.

Really disturbing, really good.
This book is so descriptive that it feels like you are in the shoes of Ishmael beah! He has gone through the deepest fires of hell and survived. This is that book that makes you realize all the "terrible" things you think are happening in your life are nothing compared to what other people like Ishmael Beah has gone through. I highly recommend it!
