The Onion Girl is my favorite novel of his. I liked Moonheart too. I got hooked by his short stories and then ended up reading anything of his I could get my hands on. Some craziness like 9 books of his books in a year. So it might not matter where one starts:) Tue, 23 Jun 2009 06:41:35 GMT http://ijustfinishedreading.tribe.net/thread/d881f071-3b54-4de2-8b5d-8d7e3dc51a6f#b1b45a0d-1019-4da9-93ea-4039db28f751 Christina 2009-06-23T06:41:35Z http://ijustfinishedreading.tribe.net/thread/d881f071-3b54-4de2-8b5d-8d7e3dc51a6f#6fcc07e3-db18-47d7-90ad-8e58196d0ab6 I haven't read any deLint - yet.......a quick review of his bio suggests that Moonheart might be a good place to start - would you agree? The idea of combining/creating parallels between Celtic and Native American myth is an intriguing addition to the mix..... Pastwatch is indeed Orson Scott Card, though quite different from his Ender's novels - in a very good way! The full title is Pastwatch: the Redemption of Christopher Columbus. I could go on for days about the incredibly interesting idea of inserting agents from the future into key points of the past - in order to make changes for the greater good. The very idea of determining what those points would be is mind boggling to me......

I loved Timeline! I'll have to put Pastwatch on the my list. I just started reading Lies my teacher told me, and then I think it's Loving Frank. Is it by Orson Scott Card? I really enjoyed the Ender's Series. I might have bump Frank :) Have you read any Charles deLint?

I will have to try to find this one!

The author created a very intriciate very compelling society, culture, religion, and plot in this book. I loaned this book out until it never came home :) Tue, 23 Jun 2009 03:56:48 GMT http://ijustfinishedreading.tribe.net/thread/d881f071-3b54-4de2-8b5d-8d7e3dc51a6f#63c2b120-b1da-4c4d-a707-a81a987e736d Christina 2009-06-23T03:56:48Z http://ijustfinishedreading.tribe.net/thread/d881f071-3b54-4de2-8b5d-8d7e3dc51a6f#1e5f566b-b261-4c2e-b211-81b94ad283df sounds interesting......

I really enjoyed the mysticism and how the wraethu were the perfect blend of the esscence of man and woman. Very good read!

From the review on amazon it sounds like the gothic answer to a Harlequin book series bodice ripper. http://www.amazon.com/Wraiths-Will-Pleasure-Wraeththu-Histories/dp/0765303493/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1245655161&sr=8-2 Happy reading, Christina Mon, 22 Jun 2009 07:22:45 GMT http://ijustfinishedreading.tribe.net/thread/d881f071-3b54-4de2-8b5d-8d7e3dc51a6f#527762e9-8134-4aeb-88a4-6f37ed5cfdfa Canela, too hot for you 2009-06-22T07:22:45Z http://ijustfinishedreading.tribe.net/thread/d881f071-3b54-4de2-8b5d-8d7e3dc51a6f#a95cde05-a5cf-4659-bd9b-01d1d953dae3 by Storm Constantine.
