Hahahahaha. Is that the book that Gary Lyon wrote?  ;D

Sure is ;D

I have a few biographies like Ben Cousins, Punter and I think I have a Mikey Hussey one somewhere too!?
Of course, I got these last Christmas and due to compulsory education I haven't started any!! Will get stuck into them when my exams finish up :)
Can anyone tell me what I should expect here? Are these biographies just various sporting cliches mashed into a book or are they genuinely interesting and insightful?
Thanks!

I have hell island on my phone so im reading that now at work
Also have Area 7, Scarecrow, Seven Ancient Wonders and The Six Sacred Stones but havent read them yet

Ele: the Mike Hussey one if its from a few years ago is really good ;)

Simply cannot split my top 3 so in no particular order:
HP series (obv lol)
Tomorrow When the War Began series (just epic, cannot describe how magnificent it is)
A series called the quickening (starts with 'Myrrens Gift') by Fiona McIntosh. None of you would have heard of her I assume but no joke I place this series right alongside the other two.

Honourable mention to the Hatchet series.

Cicjose

Neuromancer or Pattern Recognition William Gibson

Cabal Clive Barker

It Stephen King

The Song of Pentecost William Jesse Corbett

(Harry Potter Series)

RiOtChEsS

A Song Of Ice And Fire Series... (aka A Game Of Thrones)

Stupendously Epic Journey 8)

Magician - Raymond E Feist

The trilogy ended up spanning over 20 books, nearly all of which I have read. I collected them all, over about a 5 year period, they are a little hard to come by now without sourcing them over the internet.

THIS

By a long way, I have read 100's book literally yes and while I love the late Robert Jordans the wheel of time, and david eddings books (when i was younger) and of course the obvious lord of the rings

Raymonds series were the best by far.

Loved Magician and loved the EMPIRE series particularly aslo " Daughter of.... servant of... mistress of.... "  awesome

I really liked reading the CHERUB series by Robert Muchamore. The spin-off series Henderson's Boys is pretty awesome too.

Windigo

Mainly read S.K.

Out of all the books his wrote, it would have to be IT.  8)

Mate! You are getting more and more awesome by the day! Barely anyone has heard of them, let alone read them! I loved all the stories involving Jimmy the Hand, he was the best! :)
