You finally recommended a book that didn't suck.
Stardust was okay. Made me forget Anasi Boys and like Gaiman again and entirely made up for the abortion that was George R. R. Martins series.
I hate you less today. Bask in my lessened disfavour.

I enjoyed Martin, and am planning to read the series again.
edit: Outlander series is one of my favorites. I'm sure you've made many suggestions in the past, but I've missed them - what else do you recommend? I'm a fan of Sheri S. Tepper, myself.

The outlander series is a romance series, with a splash of fanasty. My 54 year old mother reads it for christs sakes. George R R Martin can write, but in all honesty the story goes to **** by the second book, you just didn't catch on until the 4th.
Book two of the Discworld series is next on the list, other than that I am open to suggestions.

Yes. Are you?
Yes. Are you?
Indeed. Also, I have the advantage of not being afflicted with Down's Syndrome.

Why do you have to compare the retards to people with Down Syndrome Smash, at least people with DS are likeable.

its a romance series only in that the two main characters get it on a few times in the story. But at least she doesnt write about him sheathing his sword in her, or heaving bosoms. She makes it just a part of the story and doesnt harp on it in a cheesy fashion. The Outlander series, for being considered romance/fantasy, is actually one of the most well written novels I've found. I can easily go back and read those books multiple times.
Read it. You know you want to. I got your curiosity piqued. =P

Stardust, the film -- appropriate for a soon-to-be nine year old? It's here on my desk from Netflix but I don't know if we need to shoo him from the room or not.
I know it's PG-13 but don't know what makes it that way.
Edit: Reading more in depth about it, I'm thinking probably not but I'll leave the question open.

Wow. Regular ol' Joph fan club in here.
I remember walking out of it thinking it would be beyond my cousin's 6 year-olds, but at nearly 9, I think if you're watching it with him, you're fine. Bear in mind, I grew up watching and reading things that weren't age appropriate - but considering the fact that you seem a disgustingly intelligent individual, I'm going to go with the idea that your kid is pretty advanced, intellectually.
I think fine for a 9 yr old. It might be boring for him unless he likes that genre. There is a little bit of violence in it so if you are strict on that end I would say no. I wouldnt have a problem letting Zavi watch it, but then again we really stress the difference between movies and reality and nothing scares this kid.

Pretty good read.
The entire discworld series is awesome so I suggest you keep it up after reading book 2.

Completely agreed. Terry Pratchett is awesome and one of my favorite authors. After I read Good Omens, I read a few other Gaiman titles, and I highly regard him, as well.
Any of you ever read Guy Gavriel Kay? He is probably my favorite fantasy author (hell, my favorite author over all); however, he is unfortunately rather unknown. If anyone is interested, I highly suggest reading Tigana, one of his best novels.

I know I read that, but I can't remember anything about it.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

I think the problem is, in order to read it, he would have to buy it. Since it resides in the Romance section of the bookstore, that creates a quandary. I'm reasonably certain most men are convinced that stepping foot near the Romance shelves will result in the immediate shriveling death of their **********
Try Amazon, Bodhi.
He told me once his mother and sister read it. He can always steal, errr borrow, it from them

If I had a nine year old, I'd let them watch Stardust.
There's a few gruesome deaths, but they and the ghosts are usually played for comedy.
There's a cross-dressing pirate, but I assume you don't think gays are a blight on God's creation.
The romance is sweet and kissy.
