Early ,'Objects In Space'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Baroque Cycle - Neal Stephenson's novels, set during the, what, 1600s? I couldn't even finish the first one, it induced snores in me, and I normally like his work.
Due to various hand problems, I am pretty much physically incapable of reading hardback books without a physical desk to set it on.

This is me. I will give the Baroque Cycle another try sometime, but Quicksilver wasn't grabbing me and I've read and enjoyed his previous stuff.
The ex gave me the first two, and I fought and clawed my way through the first one, but the second... Maybe I'll get around to it one day, but I'll have forgotten everything that happened in the first one!
Is there a site anywhere that might sum up what happens in Diana Gabaldon's Outlander? I read it several years ago and want to read the next book, but can't remember what the heck really happened, other than Woman Time Travels, Woman Has Hot Sex With Man In Past, Man In Past Undergoes Woeful Trauma (and if you read the book, I think you know what I mean).
Alicia, that's pretty much the book.
Ha! Excellent. I couldn't remember if there was something important I'd need to remember before starting the next book.
Because I'd forgotten most of Harry Potter 5 before starting the new one, and was so frustrated for about half of it, because I wished I'd gone and skimmed 5 again to remind myself. Outlander would not make for good skimming.
No. You might want to read the final chapter or two. It's been ages since I've read it. Do you have an LJ and if so, do you know smonster (who used to post here, mostly in Bitches, sometimes)? She *just* read it. smonster's lj. She might be able to tell you if there's anything else important. * Doesn't Claire come back to the present time at the end? I can't remember ?
I think at the end of the first book she decides to stay. It's in the second book that she goes back. That's also where the Bad Things happen.
Okay. I think I read the first three all together, and I might have a fourth (or even fifth), but it's been so long.
I never had luck finding good book recaps online. I know they must exist, but all I find is short summaries.
There's five, right?
I loved the first, liked the second, enjoyed the third even though it was a bit over the top, was kind of eh on the fourth, and haven't read the last one. I think.
