I Got Some New Books :)

Wow been a long time since I started a thread in this forum .. will try to be more active

anyways onto my post

Well the other day I was watching Willow and it reminded me that a long time ago when I was shopping for some books I came across a book that continued the story of Willow. So I did a search on Amazon.com and to my surprise found out it was a 3 book set for the complete story .. so went over to Barnes and Noble and picked up all 3 today ..

Shadow Moon
Shadow Dawn
Shadow Star

.. I heard good things about them and the story was created by George Lucas and written by Chris Claremont (X-Men Fame).

Anyone else read these before? Please no spoilers

Well maybe some of you haven't seen the movie Willow .. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096446/

It is a Fantasy Adventure movie by George Lucas and directed by Ron Howard ..

Well these books continue the story from the movie. You can read the descriptions from the following links.

Never really liked the Willow movie.

I'm currently reading Stephen King's "Tommyknockers", and next on the waiting line is "The Dark Half" (also from SK).

And now I want to read more technical literature, so I'm planning to buy Judgment under Uncertainty : Heuristics and Biases from Amazon.com

Ahh Tommyknockers is great

Reminds me .. they are making a new Stephen King movie based on The Talisman .. hope they don't mess up a great story.

Indeed, Tommyknockers is great (and the book is way better than the movie).

I hadn't heard about the Talisman movie, and I haven't read the book yet. I hope that at least they stay faithful to the book, though. Dreamcatcher was a big disapointment to me, because they changed it so much.

BTW, they're also making a movie based on the Bag of Bones novel: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0372778/

Wonder if they'll get this one right
