Well tankers, it's been over a month. Thanks for your input. I feel that my first Tanki topic was a success.

Thats great. It's by Jules Verne, right? I've never actually read it, but I've read 20,000 leagues under the sea, and around the world in eighty days.

I've read some reviews on the former, sounds great. Can't seem to find it in the library though. Haven't heard of the Book Thief, I'll be sure to check it out.

I actually found the White Company in a PDF format online... it probably wouldn't take too much searching to unearth it. 

 

Yeah, the Book Thief is so, so good. Well worth the time spent.  :D

The Hound Of Baskervilles

Mysterious Island

Journey to the Center of Earth 

Hobbit 

Twilight 

The Lord of Thieves 

Robinson Crusoe 

 

and many others :P

Hound of the Baskervilles: Love it

 

Mysterious Island: sounds good

 

Journey to the Center of the Earth: seen good reviews, and read other Jules Verne books, but haven't ever seen it in the library

 

Hobbit: easily in my top ten

 

Twilight: *facepalm*  :wacko:  :excl: (sorry, hate it)

 

Lord of Thieves: haven't heard of it, what's it about?

 

Robinson Crusoe: definitely one of the best

 

Btw, if you liked The Hobbit, I'd strongly suggest that you read The Lord of the Rings. It'll take a while, but it definitely is a better read than The Hobbit and ties together the entire story.
