I'm also majoring in biology, and your description surprised me, as you really sound a lot like myeslf. What school are you going to?
Curiously; I've heard of Nutwood forest before, but I can't place it. That's not from the 'Poppy' series, is it?
I also read animorphs quite readily, and actually just recently bought the entire boxed set. Quite exited to start re-reading them at some point; it was such a fantastic series.
And, considering your tastes, I really would reccomend a book called 'FireBringer' by David Clement-Davies. I just finished it, and it was absolutely fantastic. One of the best I'd read yet since the 'Silverwing' series, (which is also great if you havn't read them yet, either). It's a story based around deer, who call themselves Herla. Just excellent; I think you'd quite enjoy it.
I'm at Ucalgary one more year to go(plus change I'm sure). I'd be done if I hadn't taken two years off or been unclassified for a year.
Sephren are you leaning towards anything specific? Zoology, Vet School, Med School?? Myself I think I'm heading towards research in ecology, entomology or zoology... OR Conservation.
Nutwood is from Rupert the Bear (adventures of??). I spent my allowance on Animorphs all through Jr. High. I've got almost all of them, I'm re-reading them (again) to make sure they're okay for my niece and nephew.. I think they might be a little too old for my nephew, he's seven.. Ax is hilarious.. (I actually have the Andalite chronicles too, and would like to get the Horkbajir (sure that's spelled wrong) Chronicles etc.) I refuse to read megamorhps though. Box set must be huge.
I have read Silverwing, but there were a couple things I disliked, though it is a great story. (I didn't like the innacurate protrayal of tropical bats.. It's been a long time since I've read it, but I recall I was quite unhappy about that as most if not all large tropical bats are gentle frugivores!!) Mayhap I'm just silly. I'll have to look into the Firebringer one, I have heard of it.. (I used to work in a book store and my Mom's an elementary teacher, so I got exposed to a lot of great books).
By the by, I absolutely love Wastership Down, book and movie. (And Bright Eyes is an awesome song). I'll have to post pictures of "my" rabbits, I raised rabbits for a Wildlife Centre while I was living in Ontario a while back. We weren't supposed to get attached to them but ah.. We named every single one! (After characters from Firefly, Farscape, Gilmore Girls and Watership Down).
Thankee for the warm welcome all! It may take awhile for me to get to know all of you, especially since I have a bad habit of reading posts and not reading who wrote it.
But I'm trying to make a point of noting who writes what.
(Thanks for the Lolipops too!) Hahaha, good thing their virtual, I always hurt the roof of my mouth on them.
