Thread: Good Series You Couldn't Finish?

Good Series You Couldn't Finish?
Looked for a similar thread and found one that started in 2006, but the OP was posting other book genres. So let's focus on Fantasy only. And try and make it something "popular", someone might have heard of, and or that may received decent reviews by others. Also original series only, sequels don't count. And lastly you have to have given the series a fighting chance. If you read 1/3 of the Malazan or WoT's first book, and stopped the series..that doesn't count. At least give the series a chance by reading the whole first and/or second book. My thoughts are, if you liked the book enough to start it. At least give the second book in the series a chance to redeem the first..maybe? I'll start.
I don't have many I think. I have this desire to finish anything I start. Including books. So it's very hard for me not to finish a series even if I don't like it. OCD i think. =)
Coldfire Trilogy - C.S. Freidman.
Pretty sure I made a post about this series. I really liked the plot and the ideas about this book. The plot and mythology of it all was pretty cool. But the characters sucked. The story was boring, and the ultimate badguy was just remade every book.(Oh no, there is a more eviler person behind it all! Oh no, they too are just a pawn for an even more eviler evil!) And I even read the second book in the series hoping it would get better. It didn't...and I've never considered reading the third.
Farseer - Robin Hobb
Read book 1. At the time didn't like it enough to read book 2. This was one of the first I put down. I do feel like it gets enough praise that I might try book 2 sometime soon. I just didn't care enough for it and had(have) a bunch of other books to try. It was too political for me. I was hoping for a real assassin, like the Vlad Taltos series. But instead got a boring poisoner who can talk to dogs....
Wizard of Earthsea - Ursula LeGuin
I really didn't like the way this story was told. She's a fine writer, but the story telling prose(or style?) just turned me off...a lot. I really wanted to like this series, but read all of book 1, never touched the others.
I could also add American Gods by Neil Gaiman. But that's just a single book, and I only read maybe half. So, for this setting, it doesn't fit. Since I didn't give it a fair shot really.

Sword of Truth Series - Terry Goodkind
I am probably going to rankle several fans with this as it is an immensely popular series, but I got four books in and just could not do anymore. Zedd is just about the only character I found enjoyable. I don't even know where to start with a critique really; just thought it was terrible across the map.

Coldfire trilogy is the only real series I have stopped so far, the two main characters just didnt do anything for me, the Hunter was the only reason I kept reading, might pick up the second sometime but I doubt it.
Oh and I stopped Drizzt Icewind dale trilogy 3/4 of the way through the first book, finished the first dark elf trilogy but just found the whole thing very very basic, only really picked it up after playing the neverwinter games as a kid and took a liking to the forgotten realms setting, also didn't finish Elric iirc because Game of Thrones had just arrived and I couldnt wait to get started on it

For me it was Crown of Stars by Kate Elliot. I am going to finish it someday, but I just stopped reading it at some point, and every so often think to myself, why?
Oh, and Shadows of the Apt, but that is because my library doesnt have it and they never released past book 4 for US kindle.

The Dark Tower - Stephen King
I read The Gunslinger with high hopes, having heard so many good reviews of the series and not having read Stephen King before in any capacity. I found myself incredibly disappointed though, and had to force myself to finish the book. Perhaps the style just doesn't resonate with me, but I found myself not liking the characters, the world, or even the writing. If I do pick up the series again it will be at some unforeseeable point down the road when my tastes have perhaps changed a bit.

I read the first two books to "The Black Company" by Glen Cook. After finishing the second book I realized that I just didn't care. At all. It did lead me to finally reading Game of Thrones though.

About King's Dark Tower series.... The Gunslinger was written so many years before most of the rest of the series I think you would find that the style changes as you go along. I would encourage anyone to get through books 1-4, and if they still don't like it then it would be a good time to stop. By the time I read Drawing of the Three and Wastelands (books 2 and 3) I was totally hooked.
As for the topic... I have not been able to finish the Black Company series (yet). I find some aspects of the story compelling, some of the characters outstanding, but am often just not interested enough to keep going.

The Dark Tower - Finished the first 3 books but never felt like picking up the 4th. It was ok. Maybe i'll give it another shot someday.
The Godless World trilogy - Read book 1 and part of book 2 but The Blade Itself arrived in the mail and I've never had a chance to get back to them. That was 3 years ago. I thought they were good but so much better stuff to read first. I plan on getting back to them next year maybe.
The Black Company - Bought books 1-3 and read the first one. Not sure if I'll continue. 50/50
The Wheel of Time - Got to Crossroads and never finished it. I really wanna see how this story ends but don't know if I have the tenacity to make it through.
December 16th, 2012, 12:25 AM #10
Anyway, I've been stalled on Wheel of Time for years. I started just before he died and when he did, I just stopped. I keep trying to go back, but then I stall again. I'm on book 7, about 200 pages in (at least I claim). I hope to finish, maybe even this year with the ending and all, but who knows with how long I've been saying that.

mervyn peake's gormenghast. i really wanted to finish it. i really did. but it's so dense.
also, peter hamilton's, well. any of his books, but in particular the night's dawn series, which i started but didn't finish. mainly because of the excessive number of characters. i ended up getting a management job while halfway through this book and it's not the kind of thing you can read in your lunch breaks. you really need time to keep track of everyone. it's worse than the malazan for that... i really loved what i was reading, but never finished.

I could not finish the first book in The Night Angel Trilogy. I don't even consider this a good book by any stretch of the imagination although it does seem to be popular for reasons I cannot fathom. The writing was poor, the characterization and world-building were non-existent, and I'm not even sure that there was a plot. It was easily the worst thing I've ever attempted to read as an adult.

So I have been brewing extract and partial mash beers for about 2yrs now and I have recently been told by my doctor that I have a Gluten Intolerance. Much to my dismay I have given up gluten all together. This is my first attempt at brewing a gluten free brew. Both versions are currently fermenting. Let me know what you think! Also can anyone fill me in on the use of amylase, I'm not sure I know when or when not to use is.
Recipe Type: Extract
Yeast: S-33
Yeast Starter: N/A
Additional Yeast or Yeast Starter: N/A
Batch Size (Gallons): 3
Original Gravity: 1.081
Final Gravity: 1.015
Boiling Time (Minutes): 60
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 7 days @ 70
Additional Fermentation: N/A
Secondary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 7 days @ 70.
0.5 lbs dark roasted buckwheat
0.5 lbs Roasted millet
0.25lbs roasted gluten free oats
0.75 lb dark belgian candi sugar
1.75lbs Sorghum extract
0.5lbs Brown sugar
0.75lbs Molasses
2 lbs Brown Rice Syrup
0.25 lbs Malto Dextrin
1 oz Fuggles @60 min (5%AA)
.5 oz Goldings (kent) @ 20 min (5%AA)
4oz cocoa powder @ 15 min
S-33 Yeast
Same as above but change hop schedule to
1 oz Warrior @60 min (16%AA)
.5 oz Super Alpha @ 45 min (15%AA)
.5 oz Cascade @ 30mins (6% AA)
.5 oz Cascade @ 15mins (6% AA)
1.5oz amarillo @10mins (8% AA)
.5oz goldings (kent) @5mins (5% AA)
.5 oz Super Alpha @ dry hop 14days (15%AA)
.5oz amarillo @ dry hop 14days (8% AA)
OG was the same for both 1.081 Bottling on the 21st.
I'd say too many simple sugars for the brown (low body) and I would never use so much molasses in a beer (again). The IBP will probably be better for the same reason, the simple sugars will dry out the sorghum.
As always, post your impressions once they are done.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Ok so when I first tried the brown ale it was way too sweet and the head retention was awful. Now after about 3 and 1/2 weeks of being bottle conditioned its fantastic. The head retention is still not quite what I wanted but the flavor is spot on for a brown ale. I think I may tweak the sugars next time and use more brown rice syrup instead of the simple sugars but overall a great brew for my first go at it. As for the Hopped up version I think it still needs more time. I used the same hop addition schedule that I used in my non gluten free black IPA but the bitterness in this beer is so overpowering. I am going to let it sit for a while and see how it turns out.

Managing big spools of line is surprisingly difficult. Oceanographers run into this all the time, as they try to lower a few miles of line into the ocean. The textile industry runs into it when they try to use very large spools so they can run machinery longer without splicing. Designing something to unspool 30Km of line under near-zero tension in zero G is non-trivial.
Here's a discussion of spool winding [amacoil.com], if you're really interested. There are even companies that specialize in spool winding [independentusa.com].

Horses For Sale
Peppy From Hickory
Consigned to Pitzer Ranch 2015 Spring Sale
2004 Red Roan AQHA Gelding, 14.2H
Sire Peppy From Heaven by Smart Little Lena out of a daughter of Peppy San Badger
Dam Little Hickory Lynx by High Brow Hickory
"Hick" has been used for cutting and ranching, he's happy being a working man. Quiet, friendly and easy to be around.
AQHA Performance R.O.M. with points in team penning and ranch sorting. Twice AQHA Amateur Select World Show Qualifer in Ranch Sorting.
After purchasing Hick two years ago I started heeling the hot heels and soon went to live cattle and have been using him as a help horse here at our place.
I have rode him in the fields, over natural trail obstacles, gathered cattle and he handles it all very well. My wife and a few others have rode him and he rides the same for everyone. He is light in the mouth, moves off your leg very well, knows his leads, spins both ways and backs very well.
I am going use him at jackpots and horse shows up to sale day. the video below is from when I first started heeling on him two years ago. I will update with current videos as soon as possible and continue up till sale.
Fox Sports
"Mike" - 2009 Bay AQHA Gelding stands 15.1
bred by Bill/Jennifer Horton
Sire: Zippos Heaven Sent by Zippo Pine Bar
Dam: Graceful As A Fox (Dandys Dee Bar x Miss Foxy Straw)
His grand dam Miss Foxy Straw started her career as a pleasure horse in 1982 winning KS. 2 year pleasure futurity and the following year tied for second in three year old matuity. We showed her till she was 5 in pleasure classes and I introduced her to cattle that year "1985" She acheived her AQHA ROM in 1986 and her Superior in 1988. I qualified her in heading and heeling and took her to the AQHA World show in 1987 for the first time. Miss Foxy Straw was a multiple class winner and AQHA top ten High Point winner including AQHA Res World Champion heeling horse 1989 and 1990 placed 5th in 1991 and was 3rd in 1995 when I retired her to broodmare.
We bred Miss Foxy Straw to Dandys Dee Bar looking to produce a pleasure horse or all around horse for my wife but the fillies( Graceful As A Fox) career was cut short due to an injury as a three year old. With that said we bred his Dam Graceful As A Fox to Zippos Heaven Sent looking top produce a pleasure or all around prospect for my wife. The result was a gelding that wasn't thrilled with that life style.
But I can tell you he reminds me of his Grand Dam and brings back many memories of her.
This gelding has smooth walk, trot and lope. He has been ridden on some trails and in the fields over all kinds of natural trail obstacles.
He would be awesome prospect for the AQHA Ranch Horse Class. We started him on the hot heels two years ago and went to cattle soon after. We have used him here at our place all last year and turned him out this winter to be a horse. Plan to use him as a help horse here at our place and start hauling him to jackpots this summer until sold.
AQHA Incentive Fund eligible.
I will post videos of Mike as soon as winter goes away and we can get outside.
Gunnin For First
Sire: Guitar Gun (Playgun x Dainty Lena)
Dam: Shes The Kind (by Tee J Rojo Jack)
"Houston" - 2011 Grey AQHA Gelding raised by Eberline Ranch
Full brother to Liquor Guns N Ammo
Very quiet and willing. Big, strong and mature. Started tracking and roping the Hot Heels as a two year old. He has been rode in the fields and has been on a couple trail rides as a two year old.
As a three year old this last tear we continued to ride the fields and showed him all kinds of natural obstacles and also kept working the Hot Heels and showed him some slow practice steers last fall which he handled very well. He is coming along just like his year older full Brother( Liquor Guns N Ammo) that we rope both ends with and this colt ( Houston) we are just as excited about.
These pictures were taken when he was a two year old
Serious inquiries only
We will post videos this spring!

The Great Octopus Mystery — As a joke, a Peoria woman puts a baby octopus in her boyfriend's toilet. Her boyfriend gets home, finds an octopus in his toilet, and assumes it must have crawled there from out of the sewer. He calls the local paper and the city is soon caught up in the 'Great Octopus Mystery' until the girlfriend calls up and sheepishly confesses.

Bizarre Phobias — Tom wrote to ask about the reality of a site called The Phobia Clinic. At first glance, the site definitely looks like it represents a real business that's selling a program to help people overcome their fears. The strangeness comes when you dig into some of the fears that they claim they can cure, and you have to wonder... do such fears or anxieties really exist? For example, they can cure you of Arachibutyrophobia (that's a fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth),

The Jedi Religion — I wrote in my book about the burgeoning Jedi movement throughout the world. For instance, when the 2001 census was taken in Britain, tens of thousands of people listed 'Jedi Knight' as their religious affiliation on the census forms. I've actually heard from a source in the Office of National Statistics that when the figures were all counted, there ended up being more Jedis than Jews in Britain. Now we have more proof of the growing stature of 'Jediism': the quasi-official website of…

Problem is that Don hadn't actually cooked any of his own chili. His brother Terry had dropped out of the contest at the last minute, so Don posed as his brother and took his place.

All I can say is that when the movie ends I feel great.
Great baseball movie to watch in any time of the year but it is all so a great movie to watch in the summer time and this movie is now 25 years old this year!!!!!
Baseball is and always will be the greatest American game, and no film has brought the passion of baseball to light like Field of Dreams.

Hey Buddies,
Just want to let all you know that we are overly excited for our DisBand Discovered episode tonight at 8ET/5PT. I can't give away everything that's going to happen because I really want you to watch it, but i'll tell you this, there will be at least three separate shots of Sean Dawson with his shirt off. In one, he is blistering a face melting guitar solo, in the other he is swimming in a pool, and in the third…well, you'll just have to wait and see. I'm just kidding, Sean's shirt was on when swimming (it was a public pool, he's shy) This show just got a lot juicier.
I'm so excited about our episode tonight, I forgot to tell you that our first single "Wake Up" is out on ITunes RIGHT NOW!!! My opinion may be a little bias, but I think it's great. I think you might think it's great too. I highly recommend it. If I had my own blog, i'd write a blog all about how much I love it and how you should check it out so you can be the one who tells all your friends and are then looked on as the music hero of your group – Music hero gets all the babes. This song has that ability, take action, take what's yours, take back the title of "Music Hero" in your group of friends. Go check it out…. NOW! (and maybe give us a 5 star rating?)
As this blog post comes to a close, I just want to reiterate the fact that this episode tonight will be MuchMusic's "Citizen Kane" (rottentomatoes.com that bitch (hint: 100%)) You don't want to miss this event. Where are my manors, I'm sorry, i'm just excited, I'll probably need to take a nap, but I forgot to mention that we will be live in studio watching along with you!! We'll be there chatting and tweeting with you during every commercial break. I'm personally a great internet chat, emoticons and lol's fly around like shooting stars in the night, and if we're talking MSN, you know you would be getting nudged.
So come early, stay late, just don't miss:
DisBand Discovered: San Sebastian
Tonight at 8ET/5PT
See you tonight!
-Greg/San Sebastian
To catch more of San Sebastian….wait for it……..watch their live interview and performance on MOD tomorrow @ 5PM ET

I thought tenchu was going to win.. -.- sheesh.. what a bummer...
congrats to Inuruto..
Better late than never...the winner of the October POTM is...
Movie of Death <horror> - Inuruto
The judges thought this poem showed great effort and the use of horror movie titles in the poem was a fun and creative idea. The referenced movies worked well with the flow of the poem, and fell right into place. It gave the distinct impression of death always waiting nearby with not only a sense of suspense, but with quite a bit of cleverness as well.
Congratulations, Inuruto. As winner, your poem will be stickied, have a link on the homepage, and you are invited to be a guest judge for November's POTM.
Honorable mentions to FLawEdmiNd, shadowrulz, and divine_punishment, your entries were also among the judges' top choices.
And lastly, a reminder that all October entry threads will be closed one week from today.

I thought tenchu was going to win.. -.- sheesh.. what a bummer...
congrats to Inuruto..
Legion Ketsueki Lives on~!!
I'm BACK AO!
Congrats! Good job on your work. Looks like I'll have to keep trying to win.lol Hope to see you on the next competition (dec).
Yay Inuruto! You totally deserved it! I'm glad I lost to you.
Inuruto! Woooo Hoooooo! *joins you in victory dance.
I remember the first poem you wrote on AO (I was Inuruto's first friend here, na na-na boo boo!). You've always had a shine. And this poem proves just how creative you are, and how brilliant that shine is.
Overall I was super impressed with last months turnout in POTM. Seemed like just about everybody had something unique and well thought out to contribute.
... Not Ever Again...
I am totally shocked...
I never considered that I would win cause it was some good/tough competiton/poems submitted... Don't worry Ray I was as stupefied probably just like you were cause you was one of the people who I thought was going to be selected...
To be honest I liked all the poems that was submitted to POTM & thought that mine was just there taking up space... I think like that cause I always sell myself short in many cases...
I just want to CONGRATULATE everybody who participated cause all of the poems I've read had talented writers behind them...
And say THANK YOU to all the people who read, commented, congratulated me, & saw my work for what it is...
And another thank you goes out to Divine for the suggestion he proposed to me... ^_^
Final, but not least Thanks to Gren & any other mods who take the time & patience to set this forum up & poem section & keeps it running for people like me who use poetry as an outlet, even though this is an anime site/forum... lol
To my numero-uno friend I had on here on AO... Peach I want to say I 'ppreciate you believing in my talent & ability to shine lol ^_^ I guess, if I have a friend like you I have no choice, but to get my glow on... *compliment*
Now that's finished *continues doing victory dance w/ Peach* anyone else is welcome to join, if ye' want tu'... ^_^
The heart can't lie... Truth is... I love you!!!

How do I change a image's border color without using a style sheet?
Place a style command in the element declaration. Like So:
<img style="border: 1px solid #FF0000;" src="someimage.img">
That will give the image a 1 pixel, solid red border.
No Problem. Glad I could help.

Bogle Merlot 2012
Merlot from California
Winemaker's Notes
A sensory overload of ripe fruits and savory garden herbs that overwhelms the nose. Summer plums and sweet cherries create a full entry and even bigger mouthfeel than lingers and languishes with the toasty vanilla from the American oak barrels. Remaining silky and smooth in texture, the wine finishes with sturdy tannins that wrap up this gift from 2012 perfectly.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "Complex fruit, herb and subtle oak aromas lead to an appetizingly dry feel and mellow, woodsy, autumnal flavors. It's medium bodied, smooth-textured and just savory enough to complement the tasty fruit flavors. Best Buy."
Wine Spectator - "Supple and easygoing, with appealing flavors of black cherry, toasty oak and herb. Drink now through 2018. "
Bogle Vineyards
Although the Bogle family has been farming since the 1800's, it wasn't until 1968 that the father and son team of Warren and Chris Bogle planted their first 20 acres of wine grapes in Clarksburg, California. Clarksburg is a small farming community nestled in the Sacramento Delta. Today Bogle Vineyards farms over 1,000 acres of wine grapes in the Delta region. While the winery was established ten years after the first grapes were planted, it has grown tremendously along with the vineyards. Bogle Winery is currently producing 100,000 cases of wine. Winemaker Christopher Smith joined the winery in 1992. He sources fruit from some of the best vineyards throughout the State of California and blends that fruit with the best grapes from our Estate Vineyards in Clarksburg. View all Bogle Vineyards Wines
About Other CaliforniaView a map of Other California wineries
California has nearly 100 American Viticulture Areas (AVAs) and accounts for almost 90% of wine production in the United States. In our section of Other California, we include wines from smaller AVAs as well as wines from the California AVA. Here are a few smaller AVAs you may see on the label:
Livermore Valley AVA, located right outside of San Francisco and home to wineries such as Wente.
Lodi County AVA, an AVA further east of San Francisco and known for its excellent, old-vine Zinfandels.
San Francisco Bay AVA, a sprawling AVA that covers Contra Costa, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties, to name a few. Wine that holds only the California AVA is typically a wine that includes grapes from a number of different AVAs, which leads to the general labeling of the wine as California. This does not denote the quality of the wine, only the diversity of where the grapes originate.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Sweet cherry and plum aromas are accented by hints ...The 2011 vintage Marilyn Merlot is the 27th release of this fine wine. It is a straight Merlot this year. ...
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Having had my HTC Desire S made S-Off by Androf ( Root internet cafe on Edgware Rd London ) I noticed that there are a few methods to root the DS.
Most of which are quite complicated but alas I managed to find a simple method.
The Gingerbreak 1.20 APK manages to root any S-Off DS quickly and easily, simply download the app directly to the phone or download and transfer to the phone. Once that has been done simply install the APK file onto the phone, once that is done simply run the app and follow the instructions and then your phone should say something along the lines of there was a mistake and try a manual reboot to check if Superuser is installed.
For a few people such as myself you may notice that once you run the Gingerbreak APK the phone reboots itself and doesn't work, if this happens to you then simply format your SD card and remount it and try again and "voila" you should have superuser installed and root access on the DS.
Hope this helps anyone that may have encountered the same problems as me.

The tradition of tying in boxing and wrestling has been a long one. Muhammad Ali was a huge part of that stemming from his match against Antonio Inoki, confrontations with Gorilla Monsoon and other assorted appearances while he was the Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the World. After he retired, Ali was the special referee at the original Wrestlemania, and even in his weakened state has still been a friend to the business as evidenced by his appearance at Collision in Korea and Halloween Havoc 1994. Ali lived up to his moniker as the greatest and for a man who has earned so much respect in the sports world he has shown it back to the wrestling. It is difficult to put any other celebrity above him.
1. Muhammad Ali

Orchids in bloom!
Cathy has a bunch of orchids; three are now in bloom and a fourth is almost ready to open:
If anyone wants to know what kind these are I can ask.
Very nice! I like the 3rd one particularly - what is it? I'd have guessed one of the relatives of Cattleyas (Laelia or one of the less common species) but that's not my area of expertise, and the photo doesn't show the growth habit to any extent.
Is #2 a species Phalaenopsis?
Peggy, the last one is a paphiopedilum - slipper orchid - most of which are fairly easy to grow.
I'm a lazy orchid grower, and just getting around to revving up my Phals for the winter growing season. One of the reasons I like them - they'll stand being ignored for weeks on end, and then start up from where they left off, provided they aren't insulted when they're in bud.

WILKES-BARRE — King's College has submitted a proposal to purchase the former four-story Springbrook Water Co. property in Wilkes-Barre from Luzerne County.
The county sought proposals from prospective buyers as part of an initiative to shed unused properties and generate revenue for the cash-strapped county government.
Three entities submitted purchase proposals by last week's deadline, said county Purchasing Director Mark Zulkoski. County officials say copies of all proposals will be publicly released before county council votes on options.
John Loyack, King's College vice president for business affairs, confirmed the institution submitted a proposal but said he will leave it up to the county to release of the offered dollar amount.
The county had appraised the property at $124,000, though several contractors and architects who toured the building last month said it needs extensive work.
Loyack said the structure has high ceilings and a layout suitable for college use, though major renovations will be necessary because the building at 30 N. Franklin St. has deteriorated.
"It would be a multimillion dollar project to renovate the Springbrook building," Loyack said.
The college is interested in using the Springbrook building for labs and other classrooms related to medical sciences because the property is close to the college's medical building, tentatively called King's on the Square, at the former Ramada Hotel on Public Square.
"It would be convenient because students in that building would only have to cross Franklin Street," Loyack said.
The Public Square building will house the physician's assistant, exercise science and sports medicine programs in addition to residential housing for students. Portions of the building are expected to be occupied by Aug. 8.
The Springbrook building, which is heavily finished with marble, also could provide space needed for a growing engineering dual degree program that allows students to take math, science and other courses at King's and transfer to the University of Notre Dame to complete engineering courses in their chosen fields, Loyack said.
The county acquired the Springbrook property in 2005 in a package of former watershed holdings previously owned by Theta Land Corp. Two past potential buyers had backed out of purchasing the property.
The county had to stabilize the roof to stop leaks and sanitize the property several years ago because homeless people had broken into the building.
County Manager Robert Lawton said panels are evaluating the Springbrook proposals and three purchase offers submitted for the county's former Valley Crest Nursing Home in Plains Township — a sprawling 27,474-square-foot building on 62.4 acres that has been on and off the market since the private nursing-home operator moved into a new facility nearby in early 2010.
The Wilkes-Barre Area School District had identified Valley Crest as one of several potential sites for a possible new high school, but the Wilkes-Barre Area School Board voted last month to remove the former nursing home from a feasibility study of new school options.
The Valley Crest property was appraised at more than $4 million in 2010.
The administration will present a recommendation on which, if any, purchase offers should be accepted for both properties to council's real estate committee before its next meeting Aug. 12, Lawton said.
Lawton said he purposefully did not review specifics of any proposals.
"I'm letting the panel provide an independent opinion. At the end of the day we're going to present all options to the real estate committee," he said, noting the full council has final say.
