Well i started it, so might as well follow through. just a few quick guidelines when going through the discussions
no WotC books (we all love 'em rofl )
no Twilight debates please
please be respectful about other peoples opinions
have fun, who knows you might find a new book worth reading.

I thought it was Wrath of the Lich King but the C kinda throws off that assumption. XD

That was my thought as well, so I'm confused.

That's for the designated thread.
D:
You know...the one entitled 'Twilight' where we can debate vampires' sparkleositude or whatever.
I'd like to add any/all books from DISCWORLD by (Sir!) Terry Pratchett to this list.

It's still a book~ And there will be no debating as long as no one challenges its Supreme Authority.

Ann Rice's books... the vampire ones anyway. Her erotica was just... *scrunches nose* not good. At all.
ANYTHING By Margaret Weis and/or Tracy Hickman. Ever. At all. Yes, most of it is TECHNICALLY WotC now, but I don't care. XP
Phule's company...
War God's Own...
Honor Herrington...
A couple scattered BattleTech books. Most of them suck, and I can't remember the name of the one I liked...
The Iliad...
Dante's Inferno...
Anything traditional Arthuriana...
Canterbury Tales...
MacBeth...
Hamlet...

Continuing on with Shakespeare (which you shouldn't talk about around me unless you want an earfull about how much I love it)...
Twelfth Night
The Winter's Tale (because a guy gets eaten by a bear)
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Julius Caesar
Troilus and Cressida (yeah...'cause we did a scene from this in my Shakespeare acting workshop over the summer and I was Achilles).

XD Hamlet I've watched on stage, Macbeth we read in class, and of course we were made to stomach Romeo and Juliet... which was more annoying than anything else.
We'll probably cover more though next semester in Humanities. We're reading MacBeth again I know. ^_^ And we MIGHT get to go see it live too.

XD Pre 1920s you mean?
Try Lovecraft and Poe.

I watched the RSC (Royal Shakespeare Company) do a performance of Macbeth when I was in England. It was absolutely AMAZING.
I have no trouble understanding Shakespeare. In fact, I love being able to decode and pick apart symbolism and allusion and things. I'm a dork like that...which is why I'm going to be an English major in college.
Poe was pre-1920s, though. And his stuff is rather hard to understand simply because he's so verbose.
I love his stuff for that reason...but others may not.
