yes i think they should do the raymond E feist books he was the author that got me into fantasy novels the midkemia and a song of ice and fire series by George martin are my favourites.
But the midkemia books would make a great series ive got all the books based on that world by far jimmy the hand is one of my favourite characters i actually think i might go back and read them all again now lol

lol Jimmy the Hand will always be a fan favourite amongst fantasy books..
but I rate him a close second to Jon Snow.

both are awesome characters... amazing no one has mentioned Pug or Tomas LOL.

I really like Pug and Tomas and Jimmy the Hand. Although Prince Arutha and Amos Trask are personal favourites. Anyone read the most recent one to come out?

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Nakor! Nakor was awesome.

I love Feist, one of my favourite authors but it kind of feels like he's just rehashing the same old stories over and over with slightly different characters now. I liked the Dasati addition in the last series but this current series feels a little bit rinse and repeat to me so far. I'd love a new perspective or something after this series, maybe something more with the Hall of Worlds or a few books based on the Tavern there (forget what it's called).

Hey noodles

Totally agree Bill Simmon's Book of Basketball is awesome....I picked it up at the airport in Boston and definetly informative and very funny look at the nba and basketball.

Have you got "Can i keep my Jersey"?

Yep it's Paul shirley's book....

Have you got :07 seconds or less - a season spent with the run and gun Phoenix Sums?? That is also a good read.

Ahhh I got the thread back on track :-p

I was more of a picture/attitude book and it was abut 15 years ago that I last saw it but did anyone ever see the "In Your Face Basketball Book"? It was both informative and hilarious but would be very dated now.
