SPEAK wallpaper & Shannara question

Let the final revisions begin!

Before I dive back into the manuscript, I thought you’d like to know about the very cool SPEAK wallpaper that my Web God, theoblack designed. He is the best Web God ever, I swear. We hope you enjoy. If you reproduce the wallpaper any place besides your computer, please be cool and give Theo credit for his work.

One book thought before I go. I read First King of Shannara, by Terry Brooks, over the weekend. I’ve been wanting to read more fantasy and a friend recommended this. I was not impressed. It had some creative moments, but mostly I felt distant from the story. I was quickly bored with the journey/journey/battle evil/battle evil/journey some more/- plot line that was way too Tokienesque for my taste. Has anyone else read this book? Thoughts on it? Should I read others in the Shannara series?
