[B]I'm reading Arabian Nights right now, it's one of those I've always wanted to read.

It's quite good, I highly recommend it if you can find it at your local library.

[B]the chronicles of narnia are great, you'll notice i have one of the books in my list...[/B][/QUOTE][SIZE=1]Yes, i did notice. Although of all of them, The Horse and his Boy was probably the one I like the least.[/SIZE]

yeah i can understand that... one reason i liked it was b/c it showed how the four pevensies (sp?) ruled the kingdom, how they talked & everything.

i'd say my second fave is "voyage of the dawn treader" b/c it's has many adventures or "magician's nephew" since it tells how it all got started... aww, heck, i like 'em all.

outta the ones LM mentioned in the first post, I've read....erm...just Romeo and Juliet. I've read There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury though, pretty cool. somebody recommended me to read the Martian Chronicles.
the only Chronicles of Narnia book I've read is Voyage of the Dawn Treader. can't wait to read the rest of the series.
I've read the Time Quartet books by Madeline L'Engle, and A Ring of Endless Light. My favorite Time Quartet book is either A Wind in the Door or Many Waters.
the Harry Potter series is cool too. my fave book is the third one
Robin McKinley's the Blue Sword and the Hero and the Crown are awesome books too. I prefer the Blue Sword more though
I used to read a bunch of Roald Dahl stuff, my favorite book from him was the Witches.
I'm currently reading the Three Musketeers for school, it's pretty nifty, another one of my favorites.

gaw, I know there's a couple more, but I can't think of them right now. oh well, I'm sure what I've got is more than enough :sleep: :cross:

[color=royalblue]Very true; each book [i]is[/i] entertaining in its own right. However, in the latter books that were written most recently, there were references to preceding books like Redwall.[/color]

and what is this "tales from redwall" that people keep talking about? i never heard of that book...

[color=royalblue][i]"Tales from Redwall"[/i] is just the name I gave the Redwall saga. It's also been referred to as, [i]"Legends of Redwall", "The Redwall Saga",[/i]or [i]"The Redwall Series"[/i]... ETC.[/color][/B][/QUOTE]

[SIZE=3][FONT=century gothic][COLOR=crimson]well redwall and mattiemo are like the last 2 in the series... i think there is one after it...
but i "think" it goes
legend of luke (duh)
martin of redwall (again duh)
mossflower (see above)


marielle of redwall
the bellmaker (had to happen before mattiemo cause the caves in mattiemo are actually the castle and stuff from this one)



marlfox comes after the one w/ the white bagger cause is it the same island...

redwall
mattiemo (martins son is alive)
pearls of lutra (the 3rd bad thing happend at the church thing, first was in mossflower, second was in redwall, 3rd was here and then they burned it)

i had the correct order 2 years ago but i forget now... *sigh* lol... it mainly uses the people telling the story to figure out when things happened :)... just cant think right now cause i dont remember all the titles haha[/size][/color][/font]
