    Can anyone tell me if the Riftwar series is any good?
    I've made a huge mistake.

    Its awesome....well, to me it is.
    I was first introduced to Raymond feast's novels about 10 years ago when a friend gave me the "Daughter of the empire" book, I soon bought the rest of the series (3 books in that series).
    Then I went back and started his books from the beginning, The magician etc, etc. And finished the Rift war saga 5 or 6 years back. And it was great.

    Do yourself a favour and get them all.
    If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.

    A great kids series which I don't often see 'advertised' is Tomorrow when the war began.

    Great series of books telling the story of Australia's invasion. Highly recommended (by a me from 6 years ago, wonder how they've aged?).

    So "50 shades of grey" is like twilight but for middle aged women? I heard JCW doing #thatawkwardmoment on her show promo in the week. According to amazon user reviews it is not even erotic.

    Riftwar Saga:

    Magician - Great book. It's what got me into fantasy.
    Silverthorn - Eh? It's almost irrelevant to the main story started in Magician.
    Darkness at Sethanon - Ties things up nicely, although it's not quite up to the level of Magician.

    How long does it take you guys to read a book of say 700 pages.
    There are only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.

    Depends on how good the book is. If it's extremely good I won't put it down and finish it in say 2 days.

    Couple of weeks. Life & work tend to interfere.

    I assume that activities such as eat, sleep and work will continue as normal.
