[LMB] The Ultimate Booklist OT:

[Mark Allums]

This may not surprise you, but I enjoyed the TC books in high school 
around age 16.  Interestingly, I reread the first three books a couple 
of years ago (I'm 40 now) and I didn't quite care for them as much. 
Enough so that I didn't choose to read the second trilogy.  I may read 
it later on when the new third trilogy is all finally published and in 
mass market PB, but I'm in no hurry.

I don't really get the women/men dichotomy people observe about the 
books.  Aside from the r*pe that takes place in the first book, I mean. 
  Perhaps someone would be willing to give it a go at explaning.
