Greetings Earthlings. I'm new to the whole 'forum 'thing although have made a couple of overlong posts on YUKI. Naturally secretive, like Chade, I have been lurking and spying for some time (but only with the best intentions!) ever since I became a bit obsessed with the Farseers. I'm female, live in England, work with people. Love reading, gardening, music(playing and listening-all kinds),Art,dabble in Reiki and meridian therapies, bees, wildlife(and I'm a bit of an 'anorak' ! ). A relative newcomer to these books but having completed Fools Fate a month ago I'm finding it hard to get into anything else and I'm enjoying dipping back into the series. I will read anything that appeals. I have been a sci-fi fan for years and have tended to shy away from anything describing itself as 'fantasy' (although do love LOTR/Narnia/Dark Materials...snobbery?.. possibly..there's plenty of that re sci-fi also..) Then I reckoned that many of the sci-fi books I love best are a bit 'crossover' anyway eg. Sheri S Tepper. My favourite book was always 'Ursula le Guins ' The Dispossessed', but RH may have won me over and makes me want to try more fantasy. I'm currently trying a 'Game of Thrones' based of all of the recommendations. Only a few chapters in, I'm finding it a bit 'macho' though and keep going back to read favourite passages about the Fool and Fitz. I've only read the Assassins series, Liveship's and TM but have Soldiers Son and and Dragon Keeper waiting on my Kindle...but all I want is more of the Fool.....Gahhh..x
