Im half way though Sir Thursday, one of those books you'll like if you're into army stories

Garth Nix is brill, one of my favourites! Abhorsen is my favourite one! I can't believe what happened to the Dog (I won't spoil it if you haven't read it!)
Creature in the Case is also good.

Ive read the Abhorsen series, and Ragwitch, and the Mr Monday,Tues,Wed and Thusday books...all good

Although they aparently were written for children? young Adults...I think as an OLD adult of 37 that his writing is fantastic!

GOLLUM · 19th June 2006, 01:18 PM

As a YOUNG ADULT of somewhere around 38 who also likes Nix, rest assured you're not alone...

j. d. worthington · 19th June 2006, 01:27 PM

What is it with this "Young Adult" nonsense? I still read and enjoy Alan Garner, Andrew Lang's fairy tale books, and L. Frank Baum! Pigeonholing! Bah!

Who knows? I reckon there's quite a bit of so-called YA literarture which is superior to what is preceived to be adult works in Fantasy.

j. d. worthington · 19th June 2006, 01:41 PM

Ummmm. I'd say there's quite a bit of YA that's superior to a fair amount of what's considered adult literature ... period.

GOLLUM · 19th June 2006, 01:44 PM

Yep I concur and I know we're not the only ones here who happen to think that JD.
