Harry Potter's life is miserable. His parents are dead and he's stuck with his heartless relatives, who force him to live in a tiny closet under the stairs. But his fortune changes when he receives a letter that tells him the truth about himself: he's a wizard. A mysterious visitor rescues him from his relatives and takes him to his new home, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.After a lifetime of bottling up his magical powers, Harry finally feels like a normal kid. But even within the Wizarding community, he is special. He is the boy who lived: the only person to have ever survived a killing curse inflicted by the evil Lord Voldemort, who launched a brutal takeover of the Wizarding world, only to vanish after failing to kill Harry.Though Harry's first year at Hogwarts is the best of his life, not everything is perfect. There is a dangerous secret object hidden within the castle walls, and Harry believes it's his responsibility to prevent it from falling into evil hands. But doing so will bring him into contact with forces more terrifying than he ever could have imagined.Full of sympathetic characters, wildly imaginative situations, and countless exciting details, the first installment in the series assembles an unforgettable magical world and sets the stage for many high-stakes adventures to come.

Thud and blunder in the best possible sense of the term.As in the previous volume (Trollslayer), this is structured as a collection of longish short stories; unlike in Trollslayer, there's a much stronger linkage between the stories.After the events of the previous book, our heroes Gotrek Gurnisson, trollslayer-at-large, and his traveling companion/amanuensis Felix Jaeger (excerpts from whose book form the headers for each of the chapters) have come to the city of Nuln. Unfortunately, so have the Skaven, Warhammer's race of rapacious, intelligent, chaos-tainted humanoid rats, led by the Grey Seer Thanquol. Needless to say, when our heroes and the Skaven first run into each other (while Gotrek &amp; Felix, in what one hopes to be a career low point, are working as part of an anti-monster patrol in the noisome depths of Nuln's sewers), neither side is too happy about it. Fortunately, the Skaven are, in addition to their other charming qualities, riven by internecine squabbles, and if one clan can use Gotrek's axe &amp; Felix's sword to grind another clan to bloody gobbets, so much the better ...

"Remember, remember the fifth of November..."A frightening and powerful tale of the loss of freedom and identity in a chillingly believable totalitarian world, V for Vendetta stands as one of the highest achievements of the comics medium and a defining work for creators Alan Moore and David Lloyd.Set in an imagined future England that has given itself over to fascism, this groundbreaking story captures both the suffocating nature of life in an authoritarian police state and the redemptive power of the human spirit which rebels against it. Crafted with sterling clarity and intelligence, V for Vendetta brings an unequaled depth of characterization and verisimilitude to its unflinching account of oppression and resistance.

you know what was the best part of these books? and i say books as in plural because there were so fucking many of them i can't sit still long enough to check them all off. and i DID read every single one. what else was there to do in middle school?anyway, the best part of these books was brian's description of food. it was magnificent. it didn't just make you hungry, it made you crave weird ass things that nobody would ever dream about eating in middle school. nutted cheeses and flan bread and berry cakes and what-not; almost makes you want to be a sword weilding ferret yourself.which was good because by the tenth book you started to realize there was a trend to the plotlines. something bad happens, small furry animals go on a quest. they fight a lot of little battles until one major battle which the good guys almost lose until, when all hope is lost, a giant contingent of allies created on the preceding journey show up to conquer evil: together.still, i always finished satisfied. and a little hungry.

The unforgettable novel of a childhood in a sleepy Southern town and the crisis of conscience that rocked it, To Kill A Mockingbird became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was first published in 1960. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award-winning film, also a classic.Compassionate, dramatic, and deeply moving, To Kill A Mockingbird takes readers to the roots of human behavior - to innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and hatred, humor and pathos. Now with over 18 million copies in print and translated into forty languages, this regional story by a young Alabama woman claims universal appeal. Harper Lee always considered her book to be a simple love story. Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of American literature.

Roth, Carol A. Senf, Franco Moretti, Christopher Craft, Bram Dijkstra, Stephen D. Arata, and Talia Schaffer.A Chronology and a Selected Bibliography are included.

A searing, postapocalyptic novel destined to become Cormac McCarthy’s masterpiece.A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other.The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, “each the other’s world entire,” are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.(front flap)

The historians can’t seem to settle whether to call this one "The Third Space War" (or the fourth), or whether "The First Interstellar War" fits it better. We just call it “The Bug War." Everything up to then and still later were "incidents," "patrols," or "police actions." However, you are just as dead if you buy the farm in an "incident" as you are if you buy it in a declared war...In one of Robert A. Heinlein’s most controversial bestsellers, a recruit of the future goes through the toughest boot camp in the Universe—and into battle with the Terran Mobile Infantry against mankind’s most alarming enemy.

<p>Ender's Game is a 1985 military science fiction novel by American author Orson Scott Card. Set at an unspecified date in Earth's future, the novel presents an imperiled humankind after two conflicts with the Formics, an insectoid alien species they dub the "buggers". In preparation for an anticipated third invasion, children, including the novel's protagonist, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, are trained from a very young age by putting them through increasingly difficult games, including some in zero gravity, where Ender's tactical genius is revealed.</p><p>The book originated as a short story of the same name, published in the August 1977 issue of Analog Science Fiction and Fact. The novel was published on January 15, 1985. Later, by elaborating on characters and plotlines depicted in the novel, Card was able to write additional books in the Ender's Game series. Card also released an updated version of Ender's Game in 1991, changing some political facts to reflect the times more accurately (e.g., to include the recent collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War). The novel has been translated into 34 languages.</p>

* The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy* The Restaurant at the End of the Universe* Life, the Universe and Everything* So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish* Mostly HarmlessSuppose a good friend calmly told you over a round of drinks that the world was about to end? And suppose your friend went on to confess that he wasn't from around here at all, but rather from a small planet near Betelgeuse? And what if the world really did come to an end, but instead of being blown away, you found yourself hitching a ride on a spaceship with your buddy as a travelling companion?It happens to Arthur Dent.An ordinary guy from a small town in England, Arthur is one lucky sonofagun: his alien friend, Ford Prefect, is in fact a roving researcher for the universally bestselling Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ... and expert at seeing the cosmos on 30 Altairian dollars a day. Ford lives by the Guide's seminal bit of advice: Don't Panic. Which comes in handy when their first ride--on the very same vessel that demolished Earth to make way for a hyperspacial freeway--ends disastrously (they are booted out of an airlock). with 30 seconds of air in their lungs and the odd of being picked up by another ship 2^276,709 to 1 against, the pair are scooped up by the only ship in the universe powered by the Infinite Improbability Drive.But this (and the idea that Bogart movies and McDonald's hamburgers now exist only in his mind) is just the beginning of the weird things Arthur will have to get used to. For, on his travels, he'll encounter Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed ex-President of the Galaxy; Trillian, a sexy spacecadet he once tried to pick up at a cocktail party, now Zaphod's girlfriend; Marvin, a chronically depressed robot; and Slartibartfast, the award-winning engineer who built the Earth and travels in a spaceship disguised as a bistro.Arthur's crazed wanderings will take him from the restaurant at the end of the Universe (where the main dish of the day introduces itself and the floor show is doomsday), to the planet Krikkit (locked in Slo-Time to punish its inhabitants for trying to end the Universe), to Earth (huh? wait! wasn't it destroyed?!) to the very offices of The Hitchhiker's Guide itself as he and his friends quest for the answer to the Question of Life, the Universe and Everything ... and search for a really good cup of tea.Ready or not, Arthur Dent is in for one hell of a ride!

In the war torn future of the 41st Millennium Commissar Ciaphas Cain, hero of the Imperium, is respected by his peers and an inspiration to his men – at least that’s what the propaganda would have you believe.

However, fate has a habit of throwing him into the deadliest situations, and luck (mixed with self preservation) always manages to pull him through and onto the loftiest of pedestals.

As the Imperial Guard struggle to contain worldwide civil insurrection, can the wily Commisar Cain identify the real villian before the planet is lost to the Imperium forever ?

So on the one hand (i.e., the overly hairy, knuckle-dragging one), this is Manwich-sized chunk of meaty, SF gun-porn dripping with sweat and oozing locker-room musk. HOWEVER, on the other manicured, latte- holding hand, this is a quality, well written tale with surprising character depth and a layered plot with real complexity and an unusual amount of nuance for a popcorn page-turner. At the risk of a DUH moment, let me point out that this is Warhammer 40000 tie in. I knew nothing about the Warhammer 40K universe before picking up this book…nothing. Therefore, if you’ve thought about checking out the series but didn’t know where to begin…TA DA…you have found your entry vehicle. If you haven’t thought about checking out the series, keep reading and you may change your mind. Here’s a quick back-story and plot summary...\
  BACK STORY \
This story is the first of a series that takes place 10000 years before the main Warhammer 40K events and explains how the galactic civil war (known as the Horus Heresy) got started. It’s the 31st Millennium. Thousands of years ago mankind scattered from Earth in a great Diaspora and populated the stars. For the last 2 centuries, the Imperium of Man guided by the iron-fisted, blood dripping  benevolent hand of the immortal Emperor has been conducting the Great Crusade in order to (1) reunite all of the various groups of humans (whether they want to or not) and (2) exterminate all alien life from the galaxy. Assisting the Emperor in his violent conquest mighty endeavor are the Space Marines, Seven and a half foot tall, genetically enhanced, immortal super soldiers in battle armor that would make Boba Fett full of dark green envy. Chief among the Space Marines are the ruling “Primarchs,” NINE FOOT tall genetically enhanced, immortal super DUPER soldiers who eat bad-ass and crap awesome. \
  PLOT SUMMARY\
The Emperor has unexpectedly left the front lines of the Great Crusade and returned to Earth (maybe for some celebratory rape and pillaging). In his place, the Emperor has raised his favorite Primarch, Horus, to the rank of War Master and put him in complete control over the mission and the other primarchs. This development does not sit well with some of the other 9 foot nasties and schemes, plots, rumors, conspiracies, machinations, cabals, ops and maneuvers ensue. We following the Great Crusade under Horus through a series of conquests while learning about the back-story of the Imperium and watching the Space Marines in action (some very, very cool scenes by the way). At the same time, events begin to unfold that set the stage for the conflict that will develop as the series progresses, leading eventually to the split between Horus and the Emperor and the beginning of the great civil war. \
  THOUGHTS\
This book is a blast and I had a lot of fun reading it. However, it was also quite a bit more and that’s what I found surprising. While there are certainly a number of stock characters and not everyone gets evenly developed, the main players are drawn with considerable depth and distinct personalities. This is not exactly an easy thing to do dealing with soldiers that physically are almost identical. In addition, the exploration of religion and philosophy and the arguments on these themes from multiple viewpoints added a nice layer to the plot. The writing is certainly better than what I anticipated and was of high quality. Abnett has a crisp, easy flow to his prose and is able to write both with humor and the darker emotions as called for by the narrative. I was impressed enough with his writing that I will seek out other books he’s written as I enjoy his style. Finally, I thought the idea of the Museum of Conquest (i.e., a huge starship where examples of every alien race exterminated are preserved for posterity) was diabolically cool. Didn’t have anything to do with the story, but was just one of those concepts that add to the overall back-story and that I found clever. Overall, this is highly entertaining. This is one of those that if you think you would enjoy it based on the plot description or the subject matter, than I am confident that you will. It is an easy, breezy read loaded with action and enough depth to raise it above the norm.4.0 stars. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! 

I think I connected more with James Swallow's writing than any other writer that I have read in the Warhammer 40K universe, and as a result this is probably my favorite of the Horus Heresy novels, so far. I say so far because there are a shitload more books and it seems like every one I read becomes my favorite. This series is brimming with memorable and captivating characters and Deathguard Captain Garro in this one continues with that tradition. One man clinging to honor where none is to be found and staying true to himself and his brothers while oaths and allegiances around him are disintegrating. These are amazing action novels dripping with emotion and sentiment that also sometimes piss me off because of the double-crossing and backstabbing, even though by now I should know what to expect. This one starts off with a Rashomon-like vibe in that we get different perspectives of things we've already experienced. But not once was I bored or felt like it was an unnecessary retread of previous events. Everything was still fresh and exciting and by the time the new stuff came into play I had a greater appreciation of what was going on because of the added info. Seriously though, the Emperor Protects! What a series, what an amazing bunch of authors, and what an overall story this is turning out to be. Straight impressive!

I've been sitting here trying to come up with something to say without just providing a short summery of the book. All I can say is maybe it will come to me as I write; I can only try. First, this isn't one of those stories that I just reeeeealllllly like, but it is worthy of 3.75 stars. Although I didn't find just a load of errors there were points where it seemed a word must have been left out when the story was put to paper. (I've mentioned my pet peeve of authors, proof-readers &amp; publishers making grammatical errors) This is a strong story. One many women will find to be filled with too many bloody battles. There is only a slight nod to romantic notions and chivalry, but it is sprinkled throughout the story. I am that odd lady who loves to read of fantastical creatures (especially in medieval times) and their adventures and battles with other fantastical creatures and humans. I do enjoy paranormal romance, but much prefer the other. This book stands on it's own, but I think it may be part of a series of 'stand alone' books, for want of a better description. At any rate this book is a Warhammer novel; whether characters intertwine and show up in other books as a secondary character, I do not know.I found myself liking most of the characters, to one degree or another, never really despising anyone but 'the bad guys'. Leofric, the main character is a knight of reknown, great honor, and chivalry........however, he displays one characteristic that is definitely not something you'd expect to find in a brave and fearless knight. No, I'm not going to spoil that little piece of the pie. You'll just have to find it yourself. :P Kyarno lives with constant anger and trouble follows him wherever he goes......not that he minds. But true love opens his heart and mind and he begins trying to prove his worth as a member of the kinship. I really like Kyarno, even when he's being an ass. He's that classic bad boy, and I do love my bad boys.There are quite a few more important characters in this story. Naieth, the prophetess; Aldaeld, the Elfin king; Cairbre, the king's champion; Morvhen, the king's daughter &amp; Kyarno's forbidden lover; and Cu-Sith, leader of the wardancers.Would I recommend this book? To certain people, yes. If you're easily offended by graphic descriptions of bloody battles don't even think about it. Others may become immersed in the story as it unfolds and find themselves looking forward to getting back to it when they have to put it down.The dark forest of Athel Loren, home of the wood elves, is a place of mystery and danger, a place no mortal man dares enter. Leofric, a noble knight of Bretonnia, has been raised since birith to shun and fear the forest and its enigmatic denizens.But a beastman plot to corrupt the sacred places of Athel Loren throws Leofric into an uneasy alliance with the wood elf Kyarno as they battle the invasion. If the beastmen succeed, not only will the elves and their forest home be corrupted forever, but the destructive spirits of the forest will be unleashed to lay waste to all Bretonnia!

Thrills! Chills! Kills!I happened upon this book ( as well as a bunch of other Warhammer paperbacks) at a local store's going out of business sale. Fantasy makes up a very small portion of my reading list. In fact, to date I've only read about half a dozen Fantasy novels, three of which belonged to the Lord of the Rings Trilogy..the other belonging to Sean Russel's Swans War Triology..but I digress...In any event I'm glad I decided to pick this one up. I've never read a Warhammer novel before. I've never read any of C L Werner's work. I've never even played warhammer. Count this book as a pleasant surprise.Someone likened Brunner to be the 'Bobba Fett of the Warhammer universe'. I'd have to agree. Brunner is a bounty killer with a heart of stone. He'll use ANY means necessary to see his mission through and deliver his mark to any one of his numerous employers. To him, honor is a fool's notion. A notion that will get you killed. It's these 'principals' coupled with his dogged tenacity that make his name known and feared throughout the the Warhammer world.This novel is an omniubus, a collection of short (and some not so short) stories. I enjoyed this because it gave the author free reign to touch upon a great many adventures. Scoundrels, thieves, undead vampires, ogres, ancient monsters, dragons, werewolves...Each story brings a new and different adventure and set of obstacles for the vengeful bounty killer to encounter...and conquer.Now that I've read this I'm looking forward to delving deeper into the Warhammer novels. It's really a very interesting universe as C L Werner paints it. C L Werner, Warhammer and even the fantasy genre itself are all on my radar now. I'm late to the party but I'm glad I eventually discovered it.Imaginative, well written, brutal, vivid. This book is fantastic.

Insidious. That's what this is. Like that packet of sweets that, once you've started... I don't know why, but it took me up to this book, which is book 5 in the series, to realize that there is virtually no character development as far as Gotrek is concerned. This makes perfect sense, since, though the story does not make use of a first person narrative, it is told from the viewpoint of the rememberer, Felix Jaeger. Gotrek remains an enigma. I can't remember ever getting a glimpse of what goes on inside his head. Felix, on the other hand, is another story. His metamorphosis from the almost effeminate poet in the first book to battle hardened warrior-poet (if you will) and heroic swordsman has been handled deftly and expertly over the continuation of the series. Beastslayer opens with the siege of Praag by the massive chaos army assembled under Arek Daemonclaw. This plot line is an overflow from book 4, Dragonslayer. The sense of brooding menace King instills in this installment is truly impressive. Overall there isn't all that much that sets this novel apart from its predecessors, but I really enjoyed reading it. It's just a cracking read, what. The story itself involves war between the chaos army, and the army of Kislev, with some subplots about treachery and other ditties to keep things juicy. Once again, the supporting characters are a treat. Snorri Nosebiter being one I especially enjoy. Be warned though: it is a rather grim and gory piece of work, although not especially more so than the rest of the series.Warhammer fans should leave with smiles plastered on their faces, wondering how their heads got shaven and tattooed.
