The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

What are you reading now?

I think many of her novels were translated to Dutch, but I am not certain which were and which were not. I guess one could find out.

By the way, do you mean British or American when you say English, Malte? I have read both and I liked the British version better.

I am currently on Men At Arms, the 15th of a 32 book series known as the Discworld Series, by Terry Pratchett.

With regard to the Harry Potter book? I think it was British English, but I'd have to check out. The cover shows Harry, Ron, and Hermione in trouble within the Leestrange's Gringotts vault. I don't know if the American cover shows a different scene?

Right now I'm rereading the Axis of Time trilogy, an alternate history set by John Brimingham(Currently on the second novel, Designated Targets), and Strike Force, a techno-thriller by Dale Brown (Yes, I'm reading two books at the same time). Plus, I'm trying to hunt down copies of Silverwing, Sunwing and Firewing by Kenneth Oppel.

EDIT: There's a new McLanahan series (the series that Strike Force is a part of) novel being released this month by Dale Brown! That just made my day far better than it was! As soon as I see it, I'm picking it up!

The American cover shows the final battle scene. I have an alternate British version with the locket on the cover.

Right now, I'm reading Soul Music, again by Terry Pratchett.

I decided to reread some of the Bionicle books I have, the storyline itself. The strange thing is, there were quite a number of funny quotes in some of them, but I didn't seem to recall them back when I first read those books.
