Michael's Most Wanted
Michael Seidman (MS) has been rightly accused of reading fantasy by the boatload. He also enjoys reading books written for teens and young adults. Actually, he'll pretty much read anything so long as it's good. When not reading, Michael watches anime, hangs out with his friends, sleeps, eats and sometimes even goes to class.
For your enjoyment, a quote from author Neil Gaiman taken from Good Omens:
“God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of the players, (ie everybody), to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.”
Some authors that Michael recomends without reservation are:
Ranger's Apprentice: Erak's Ransom (Hardcover)
$17.99
ISBN-13: 9780399252051Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Philomel, 01/01/2010
Will always wanted to be a warrior, but his slight build and wiry frame means that his dream of glorious battle as a knight was not meant to be. He soon learns he is, however, destined for a greater path amongst the rangers. A secretive and mysterious group, the rangers guard the Kingdom of Araluen as well as act as the eyes and ears of the King.
In the seventh installment in the Ranger’s Apprentice Series, when the leader of the Skandians is kidnapped, a group of rangers and warriors is sent to rescue him, but what awaits them is a desert land that holds far more than they bargained for. With a knack for fast paced adventure and enjoyable wit, Australian Author John Flanagan has sculpted one of the most enjoyable young adult fantasy series published today.
