I'm reading: The Once and Future King.

It's that story about King Arthur and Camelot and all that good stuff. (I think :o) I'm not far into it though. x3
I'll read a lot tomorrow, as it's quite late now.

they call me on and on across the universe.

What else are people reading? I've re-read the Drizzt Do'Urden saga. It's probably one of the most epic books I've ever read, definitely on par with LOTR and such. Also started reading Jim Butcher's Dresden Files, but I am still trying to get into the book. It's okay, but I'm not too thrilled.

I've read the first three Drizzt books. (up to Exile, I think). I've definitely enjoyed it so far, and intend to continue, but I just have so many piled up I'm not sure when I'll get around to it.

Same with the Discworld books. I've read Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic, and have many of the books downloaded from some random online archive, though I would prefer to read them physically.


I should get back to the Discworld books too. Read three awhile ago and enjoyed all of 'em.

Recently I found a book titled "classic short fiction" and started skimming it, expecting it to be boring. It turned out to be mostly full of really bizarre stuff, which is a good thing in my book (no pun intended). If any of you are remotely interested in ridiculous postmodern stuff, you should check out "Lost in the Funhouse" from that book - it's publicly available online, IIRC. Somewhat inappropriate for this forum though, so I'm not gonna post a link.

I've also been meaning to reread "A Series of Unfortunate Events" sometime...  X3

I read most of them a long time ago, and I remember them being really good. Then I stopped in the middle of the last book.  >:(

I have to find them again, they've been on my list for too long now.

I stopped reading them at the second to last book  :x

Sure wish I didn't

I remember them being children's novels; which I find odd because they're about this guy going through extreme lengths to murder these kids and, in the process, make their life a living hell.
Maybe it's because I haven't read them in years, but from what I remember about the books, they didn't seem very child oriented. Throughout each book it goes on and on about how miserable these kids are, and whenever a shred of happiness is given to them, it's shot out the window.
I really wish I finished that last book. I need closure!  >A<

Well, just a warning - the ending doesn't wrap up all the mysteries, and so some people think it's kind of a frustrating ending.  :c I thought it was okay, but I would've liked some more answers too.

Just because they're full of dire, dramatic stuff and frequent murders doesn't mean they're not aimed at children - well, maybe somewhere around the 10-14 demographic. A lot of kids like that stuff! I read them when I was pretty young, and still loved them.

Come to think of it, I remember hearing a quote by the author about that - paraphrased, it was along the lines of "I write the kind of books I wanted to read as a child - books about horrible things happening to children." :/

I think it sounds quite fitting to travellers.

Why do chemists call helium, curium, and barium 'the medical elements'? Because, if you can't 'helium' or 'curium', you 'BARIUM'! Heheh."

Speaking of class choices, I did NOT expect there to be more unicorns, I am very interested. Well, I'm a pegasususus and I always thought everypony would play with this class. At least that's what I saw most people say in the "Which class are you going to play" thread.

I'm going with loremaster for the herd and either an light armored buff/debuff or an armored healer unicorn in the game if it allows me  lol

More or less the same here I have to admit. Though I'm the Trailmaster.
But I did expect this huge amount of unicorns for a blessing, and then the word blessing is suddenly not off.

Though Races and classes are two different things, I'm sure.

Oh, it would appear that I got some fancy title, Notable pony, now that's something that I had not expected to gain.
Thanks everypony, for this most brilliant thing.

Not gonna lie, I kinda feel bad for the Earth pony race. :(
I hope there are going to be more when the game is released. That way there aren't too many Pegasus/Unicorns.
Just sayin'...
