Re: Other Books
I`ve read all the authors mentioned. None of them come close to the great JRRT. I enjoy Jordan`s work, though I know he is not too popular at the Downs. Goodkind is pretty good as well. I`ve read the `Dragons` books by Weis and Hickman and can`t say I was too impressed.
As for Eddings, I liked the Belgariad (ideal for slow afternoons when you don`t want to be mentally taxed) and found the Malloreon fairly average. I think all his other work is terrible. I recently bought his latest book (The Redemption of Althalus) for my daughter and put it down after around 60 pages, which is very unusual for me, since I generally like to finish a book once I have started.
We had a thread on the subject of authors a short while ago, but at the risk of repeating myself I`d recommend David Gemmell, J.V. Jones and Terry Pratchett for anyone who is looking for some interesting fantasy to read. Just my personal opinion, of course.
