put me down as another victim of the their/there homonyms
this raised a question for me does any1 proof read their post?

Don't forget they're. jk. I usually get homonyms mixed up as well. The worst for me is just plain mistyping words and hitting the wrong keys. Because of this I've found it necessary to proof my posts before submitting.

Not so many favourite books as series. I'm a fantasy nut as you may notice.

In no particular order:

1. The Belgariad - David Eddings
2. The ***** of Truth - Terry Goodkind
3. The Farseer Trilogy - Robyn Hob
4. Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien
5. The Redemption of Althalus - David Eddings

If i had to pick one out of there it would be The ***** of Truth - soon to be a TV series. Hope it's shown here in the UK.
