Greetings from Ilúvatar/Eru (McDLT)!

[Ilúvatar]

The Real Me:

I'm a stay at home mother of 2 beautiful girls.

I am self taught in many areas, including computers. I volunteer my time and talents with a couple non-profit organizations.

I love to read. I have very wide tastes (fantasy, sci-fi, non-fiction, historical, a little romance). Some of my favourite authors are of course Tolkien, CS Lewis, Frank Peretti, and Jane Austen.

I've read the Silmarillion and The Hobbit twice and have just finished reading The Lord of the Rings for the third time.

I first starting reading Tolkien in college. I find his life very fascinating.

Besides reading, I like NASCAR, cross-stitching, teaching, and religion (all kinds).

Well that's about it.

Have fun!

hi i love books too


have you read the axis trilogy by sara douglass (its a great trilogy)

you should also try the belgariad by david eddings and if you read the belgariad red the mallorean (which is the next series after the belgariad)

[Beren Erchamion]

one of the best and deepest fantasy trilogies ive ever read is The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant... Stephen R. Donaldson... its actually 2 trilogies, and a hefty amount of reading. Definitely worth checking out. The Golden Compass trilogy (Phillip Pullman, obviously) is a must-read ;D if you havent done so already, its lighter than Covenant but still very good...

I'll start a thread where we can talk about and recommend these other books.
