Um- Harry Potter Five is out. It's number six you're thinking of. :wink:
And it's definitely HP 6, with Thud! a close second.

The next book in The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the next Anita Blake novel due out next year, and I think that about covers it for books I'm really looking forward to. Unless Pohl comes out with another Gateway novel anytime soon or Butcher with another Dresden I'm set for the moment.

considering the only fantasy i've ever read is Garth nix's old kingdom trilogy, i look forward to whatever he plans in the future for that world.

Sounds good, the last one was good but the one with the femal army was the first Pratchett book I disliked except for Jonny and th dead.

Ill also be in some large bokshops in England then Seattle so il'l be able to get a stock of older book's (Non-discorld of course).

Also theres going to be a new Discworld "Tiffany Aching" book some time this year :D

Ooh, Artemis Fowl, good good, i enjoy those.

The Discworld kids books really really do kill the proper characters like Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg. Discworld while it is Fantasy, is not childish, it just his publishers way of getting more money.

Slightly OT: there is going to be a series of Discworld computer games being made over the next three years, it was announced at this years E3

The Amazing maurice &.. is good but the Tiffany aching book's are much more low-fntasy, less funny and involve too much cheese.

A hat full of sky is much better than the first though :wink: , and has granny in it. :D

True, it does, though Granny isnt really given her proper charactisation in it, she should be far more cunning than she should was shown to be.

She was manipulating and always in control, she even had the Hiver scared.
It get's good mark's in my book if only for the bit where the wizard writes how those fool's have no idea of my power, gibble gibble drool, :D

Theyre continuing the discworld adventure games :) :D :D :o :shock:

I have it, quite buggy though but nice plot.

PM me if you know of ny way for me to "send" you a copy.
