Has anyone ever read the Necromancer series of books about a guy who talks to the dead? I love the Jean Auel Earth Children books though I have not read the latest.
I read the hobbit back in the day and was facinated by it.
I have a question.Back in school I read a storie about a guy who goes back in time and accidently kills a butterfly.When he gets back to his own time evrything has changed.What's it called and Who wrote it?

LOTR! All 3 of those rule! And The Hobbit isn't bad either. I myself, am partial to the Harry Potter books. Ask me a question about any of them, I'd probably get it right.

I can't believe anyone who turns out as many books as
Nora Roberts does can really be doing a good job on each
of them. And I am a big fan of the Harry Potter books,
yes!

Hey Cute

The book about the butterfly is by Ray Bradbury in his book R is for Rocket, which was a collection of short stories and that story was A Sound of Thunder and it was an amazing story.

hey cute, if you liked necromancer, look for laurel hamilton's series (about 10 books, but each a story to itself)...for me, i like to read everything from dr phil to james patterson, stephen hunter to robert jordan's "wheel of time" series.

I read a biography last year, "devil in the white city" for the ann rule fan, about the 1896 world's fair and the man responsible for its design and construction compared to a serial killer that built a hotel specifically to prey on world fair visitors.

I also read volumes of psychology, self-help, and poetry of which i have several hundred.

Whew...that was a lot of seriousness...forgive me, pls

Yes, I read the wizard of oz to my daughter when she
was four - all of them -- again at 5 and 6. Then she
read them herself. I felt left out.

I really liked the Illustrated Man. Has anyone else read that by Ray Bradbury? It was quite the thing.

Well, I did, but it was awfully long ago.
Bradbury went into writing for television, and
became famous, and I didn't read much but his
short stories, because that is all that came
out after that. At one time he was a big name
in real print SF, but that was before TV.
Success kinda spoiled him, I think.

dpw.
