Welcome to DaniWeb !

Welcome! I really enjoyed The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Timeline, Prey, and Sphere. Have you read any of Michael Crichton's books?

I have indeed. In addition to the ones I listed, I've read Rising Sun, Disclosure, The Lost World, State of Fear, and Next. I've also seen The Andromeda Strain and The 13th Warrior, but not read the books they're based on. After I finish The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, I'll probably read either Congo or Eaters of the Dead.

Thanks for the warm welcomes, everyone! :)
