Just dropping this in to see if anyone's read any of this great series, and if they have, if they've read Under a Velvet Cloak, and whether it would be worth trying to look for.......

This book starts off with a young girl accidentally getting married to a skeleton. To get out of the marriage she has to travel though some portals which are various shapes. Example if she goes though a triangle shaped portal the world she enters will have everything triangular. Same thing...

There's two books i'm looking for though you could probably count the second as a series. 1/ read this about 5 years ago. sort of time travel and virtual reality. the main character is a mongolian/steppe hunter/warrior who is being chased by 3? enemies. he rides his horse off a cliff but...

I read a novel maybe 5 or 10 years ago about linguistics through the ages. This was DEFINITELY a work of fiction. I do believe it was by a popular sci-fi writer (probably why I picked it up). It followed two or three main characters through earlier time periods to later and its focus was the...

Hi folks. I've been searching online for hours for a book that I read a small part of several years ago. If I remember right it was a used book that I bought at a library sale and I'm not sure why I didn't read the rest of it or why I can't find it around here somewhere in my stacks of books...

I am trying to remember the name of a trilogy or more books that I read (of course eons ago) and was very good. For what I remember, each book is about one of the characters of the world of the dead or of the same neighbourhood. There was a book about all the problems that death faces when...

Quite a few years ago, I read a series of books. I can remember bits from three of the books (there may have been more) - one book was about Death - how he was chosen to be Death, where he lived, what he did and his social relationship. The other two I remember were about Chaos and Mother...

Hi All, I'm in a competition online and I'm stuck on a particular question and I would really appreciate some help. I dont really know much about science fiction and I thought you guys would be the perfect ones to ask. Here is the question A well-known science fiction writer wrote a series...

A series by Peirs Antony was recommended to me recently, the 'incarnations of immortality' I've read the first couple, and though the concept is quite intrieging (book one: man off the street becomes the personification of 'Death' , book two: man off the street becomes 'time' ect ect) the actual...

Anyone read any of Peirs Anthony's books? I have read quite a few, silly but enjoyable for a light afternoons read. Wondering what is your favorite book of his?

I've finally got my hands on a copy of A Spell for Chameleon the first book in the Xanth series :) My library couldnt get it in for a while, due to it been needed by other libraries in the county. I have a whole list of books I'm trying to get through the library and not one of them is in my...

A mutant space blob, who switches bodies with a man to compete in some outer space race with this woman. Don't remember the circumstances other than it had some pretty interesting thoughts on sexuality (that you could just walk up and ask someone to have sex, like you would ask for the time)...

Am I all alone? :( *looks all delicate and helpless....*
