Re: SweetRein's Sugary Restrained Random Banter #89
Try reading the books by Brian Caswell. In particular I recommend A Cage of Butterflies, Merryll of the Stones, Double Exposure and Deucalion. I would highly recommend him, even to adults.

Re: SweetRein's Sugary Restrained Random Banter #89
I guess teenage books are one of those things I never really did. Or I can't remember, but then I can't remember much of my entire childhood.
What I did read where either adult fantasy, which I stopped completely just because I don't have the time and there's greater literature out there than fantasy, and historical or semi-historical books.
Right now I'm only reading history books and classical literature, there's enough great writings in there that I don't miss other stories.
To be honest though, I've read Stanislav Lem though this summer. The book was quite good even though I despise the whole sci-fi genre even more than fantasy.

Re: SweetRein's Sugary Restrained Random Banter #89
So here I sit, watchin' the news, and this human interest story comes on. (Don't worry, it's a happy one.)
This 6th grade class goes to this place called "Crater of Diamonds State Park" in Arkansas on a field trip. Teacher's been takin' kids there for years, she says. No one's ever found anything. You're just supposed to see how it's done. But this girl, nooooo, she has to hit pay dirt. Literally. She found a 1.23 carat diamond on her dig. In its current form it's appraised at around $800. If she lets someone cut it, it's value increases by a factor of 10.
Not bad for a day's work, huh?
My schools never took me to places like that, I can tell ya.Want to meet some of the most awesome people on the internet? Come to the Baltimore/DC Area RenFest Meetup 2012!

Re: SweetRein's Sugary Restrained Random Banter #89
I strongly disagree. I'm in my twenties now, and I still like Tamora Pierce. Some of her books have a bit of romance, and a couple have some people (male and female) with magic powers saving the world, but these features are well in the minority. I also recommend John Marsden, I think the book Siren by Donna Jo Napoli would probably count, and even Ella Enchanted (don't let that bloody movie fool you ). It's just like any other genre - that is, just as full of crap - but if anything, I think it's improving.
Also, The Monster at the End of this Book is one of my favourite books ever. It even has a sequel!Last edited by Serpentine; 2007-10-26 at 10:04 AM.

Re: SweetRein's Sugary Restrained Random Banter #89
You can't? You're just looking in the wrong places. You can even find treasures with your bare hands here, most of them Celtic or Roman relics.
Besides, a machete shouldn't be that expensive.

Re: SweetRein's Sugary Restrained Random Banter #89
I think Arkansas is a bit closer for me than Zambia. Maybe I'll find something small and with the profits I'll go to Zambia.
Sounds like a planSo I herd you liek Mudkipz by Mr. Saturn

Re: SweetRein's Sugary Restrained Random Banter #89
Tamora Pierce...hmmm. I like her books, yes, but I can't shake the feeling it's because a faint touch of wish-fufillment warms my pessimist's heart.

Re: SweetRein's Sugary Restrained Random Banter #89
Good luck SMEE. I hope it goes well!
I now have a blog. Have a look if you wish. It contains those naughty profanities that you won't find here. If you like what you read send me a PM, or if you don't like it. I'd like to know how many people here read it.

Re: SweetRein's Sugary Restrained Random Banter #89
Sorry to break conversation, though I say word-play earlier on in the thread so I would like to try some .
Love is forever
forever is FF7 (LENGTH!!!)
FF7 is overated (Not in my opinion though)
overated is what winter is...
Winter is cool (Temperature)
cool is the inside of a refridgerator

Re: SweetRein's Sugary Restrained Random Banter #89
What's wrong with wish-fulfilllment in general? What's wrong with it in fiction? And if there's something wrong with it in fiction and if it's impossible in RL, then where the heck is it both possible and OK?
Just some questions I can't recall ever getting any satisfactory answers to.
