Goaswerfraiejen Member	posted May 26, 2003 06:37 PM Just finished seven or so books. So, now I'm left with a paltry two to finish. Erik Durschmeid (spelling?) - The Hinges of Battle (nearly done) Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. - Mother Night (nearly done as well) I LOVE reading ten or so books at once. In fact, 'tis what I almost invariably wind up doing. I suppose I could always add in innumerable anthologies of poetry, which I peruse at my leisure every day. But, then again, they don't quite count, I don't think. __________________ Evil-doers! Cower in fright for I am the one, the only...uhh... Psst! Mat! What was that name again?

potm Member	posted May 27, 2003 10:54 PM quote: Originally posted by Raatcharch: I keep hearing that, but fantasy usually fails to excite me. that's probably because you need to get into the story over and over again. Just like Discworld though: as soon as you pick up any random book, you learn more and more about it as you go. But that is amazingly brilliant if you can write like that: 27 seperate stories based on one incredibly moronic but hilarious planet which does not require any knowledge about it whatsoever, since he keeps explaining things over and over. I dunno about Jordan though. __________________ «I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.» -J.R.R. Tolkien "Or else.."

I promise, once you read his first book in the wheel of times series you will want to read the all. I am starting Book 1 over again because it was that good.

I am working on book ten right now, but that is only because I started the series and I can't stop in the middle of something. If you want a fantasy soap-opera loaded with made-up words and suffocating amounts of detail, Jordan is for you. If you want fantasy/scifi that is written well and will inspire thought, read the Dune trilogy or the New Sun series. __________________ "If anyone doubts my veracity, I can only say I pity his lack of faith." -Baron von Munchausen Disagree with something I've said?
