But never heard of those books you mentioned.
I like older stuff anyway :D


Enjoyed that entire series, not incredibly well written, but superb story telling.


While I enjoy some classics I really have read the authors I like and prefer to re-read as opposed to waste time on new authors as most are a disappointment and a waste of cash.
But it seems authors from years ago put more effort in the work than they do now with the rare exception.

I am happy to read and re-read The Sacketts day in and day out starting from beginning to end of the series and restarting lol I even got the leatherbound editions so they wouldnt wear out :D

I think that's those things dinosaurs used to learn stuff before google. My dad mentioned them while talking about the picture shows and penny candies. :D

In all seriousness I don't read many books, but I did enjoy reading the chronicles of Narnia my brother bought me for Christmas several years ago. Good books, definitely would recommend them.
