I think alot of people would object to having to purchase/borrow the material as well, instead of just being able to download it.

Eleventeen, are those books you were talking about (something about dark elves) anything like [I]The Lord of The Rings[/I]? That is my favorites series ever.. I'd kind of like to get into more stuff like that. The movies were fairly good too.

[QUOTE=3rdplanet]What are the issues that are considered when creating a sub-forum?

I can't see what the problem is with creating one even if the demand isn't that huge.

Then again I don't run one of the biggest forums on the internet, so I don't know a lot about this.[/QUOTE]

Well it's not up to me in the end, it'd be up to MX. I don't know his exact reasoning (having never directly talked to him), but he doesn't want too many forums all over the place.

I agree with it, in so far as I'd rather not see discussion further segregated, but I don't know if that's anything like his basis.

Oh Yeah!! Was Nice Aswell

Yeah, a lot like LOTR, yet extremely different. They all have Kingdoms of Elves/Dwarves, and in a few, Orcs are bad guys/evil wizards and such. A lot of it is Tolkien influenced, but then weird interpretations, and more in depth, cause the authors aren't dying half way through writing the series.

To a certain degree I think it'll be the same as having sub-forums for all the music Genres.

[QUOTE=Bartender]The (temporal) gap between posts would probably be quite large, yeah.[/QUOTE]

I'm guessing like 3 days at most.... well at least that's how long it takes me, no matter how long/short the book is.

It could be one hundred pages, and I'll be like.... gotta finish this in 3 days, and I'll read about 40 pages a day or so, or a 900 pager and read 300 pages a day :lol:.

Tolkien wrote his books in the 50's, he died in the 70's. He didn't die half way through.. :) I read a biography on him. His son published [I]The Silmarillion[/I] after he died though. A few others also..

That's what I was talking about. I have Lost Notes and The Simarilion :thumb: he was working on series' about pre-sauron middle earth.

Hey eleventeen, I think I asked you before, but you might not have seen it. I was wondering if you had AIM so you could send me some of that pre-famous korn and Linkin Park and such

[QUOTE=Eleventeen]That's what I was talking about. I have Lost Notes and The Simarilion :thumb: he was working on series' about pre-sauron middle earth.[/QUOTE]

[I]The history of Middle Earth[/I] books might have been in progress, I don't know about that. But [I]The Silmarillion[/I] was written even before [I]The Hobbit[/I]. I read that somewhere.

To be honest, I started reading the Lord of the Rings books and just found his writing style so insufferable and unreadable. Fantastic story, but it was a real struggle to plough through it :(

I don't think you'd want that, my upload is god aweful, ask KornedBeef and The Grand Chalupa, they've both experienced this.

Yea, I couldn't get through the LOTR books either....

Anyone read the Wheel of Time Series?

Idk if they've been mentioned yet

Did you ever try reading [I]The Hobbit[/I]? It is more oriented to children, so its not quite as confusing. Not that your reading level is that of a child, but his stuff is kind of hard to get through, takes a few reads to grasp everything thats going on, probably for even the most advanced readers.

Okay, w/e then :thumb:

I find it like that sometimes too, but I realize that it's written at such a creative level, and it's done so originally... that's why I love it!

Seriously he has every chapter with a climax of it's own, as well as a climax for the whole book, and then the whole series, it's crazy.

I read that series. It's awesome. I am thinking about re-reading it, because I read it so long ago, and liked it so much.

I've heard of it, I started reading one of em, but then I lost track of the book. It was the first one, I think. Are they good?

Yeah, I borrowed the Hobbit (picture edition, hurrah) from a library when we went on holiday, and read it. That was fine. I mean actually the LotR books.

As an aside, it turned out that the length of the holiday was greater than the borrowing period from this particular library.

I can't really remember what they're like, it's been so long since I've read them.

I only have free time to read in the summer, so I've only gotten to like the 4th or 5th book...can't remember

I haven't gotten around to the Wheel Of Time Series, I heard a lot of good stuff about it though... I think I'll check it out.

Best series I've ever read (started reading)....

Make sure you read em in order though

[QUOTE=jcs497]I only have free time to read in the summer, so I've only gotten to like the 4th or 5th book...can't remember[/QUOTE]

I can't remember right now, but I think I finished what was written of the series at the time, but I also think he was coming out with another one. I think I am going to re-read them.

I wish I read more, but I don't have a lot of time during the school year, at least not for books of my choice.

When I read books I read a lot of biographies. I'm reading one about Bruce Campbell right now, its good.
