I'm also reading Steven King's The Gunslinger. It's really weird, but it's so good.


I love those books....a bunch of his novels tie into the gunslinger books like Insomnia, The Stand, and Eyes of the Dragon.

I like Gregory Maguire, or at least I try very hard to, and I certainly don't hate him. But I think he needs some help. He's a schizophrenic writer. He picks up and drops more plot points than I care for.

Lets see....I'm not a fanatic when it comes to reading, but I do like to read a good fantasy novel now and again. My favorite authors are Terry Goodkind (Sword of Truth Series), Robert Jordan (Wheel of Time Series), George RR Martin (Game of Thrones Series), Mercedes Lacky (Any of her books, in which I own many), Anne McCaffery (The Pern Novels), many of the Dungeons & Dragons novels, and for a little bit of romance...Christine Feehan (The 'Dark' Series). Ok, so I am more of reader then I give myself credit. *chuckles*

D&D? Have you ever read any of R.A. Salvatore's books?

I received Brother Odd by Dean Koontz, Darth Bane: Path of Destruction, Road of the Patriarch by RA Salvatore, and Armageddon's Children by Terry Brooks for Christmas.

Road of the Patriarch rocks. Artemis and Jarlaxle FTW.

The Sith Lord who established the Rule of Two and decimated the existing Sith order of his time. The Rule of Two states that should be only two Sith, a Master to embody the power of the Dark Side and an apprentice to crave it.

a few years back, more like 12, i discovered a few books in my nearby dollar store and bought the set of three they had, it was called The Greyhawk Adventures by Rose Estes.
LSS, i loved it immensely, well just recently i found the forth book while lurking through Amazon.com, it was on sale for 1 cent.
i paid the shipping and handling and i got the book (The Name Of The Game) and now i'm remembering exactly why i loved this series of books, kinda ironic since i've only played D&D once in my entire life.

I must be one of the only people around who absoutely despises a series.

I don't despise book series, per se, but I do have a solid amount of trouble sticking with them.

Same here. I can usually only stick with a series if it's a comic. Usually.

...

I've decided I'm going to starting reading Battle Royale.

Again. For the second time. This year.

(And maybe Fight Club or something too. Or just go non-fiction with The Art of War.)

Perhaps "despise" is too strong a word. But I go out of my way to avoid anything that's going to last longer than three books. A trilogy I'm ok with, but series I can't stand. Not only do I dislike having to purchase rows of books to get a story, but I find most of them badly written. They take ages and AGES to get to the point, trying to draw a story out novel after novel, long after the interest is gone. The closest I can get is Pratchett, but you don't specifically need to read any of the other books. They all take place in the same world, sometimes with the same characters, in a specific order. But each book stands right on its own.

The only series I really follow is The Legend of Drizzt. There are 16 books, but it's not all drawn out to make one point, if that makes sense.
