Re: Other Books

I've read a bit of Weis and Hickman, but not much, and none of the others besides the Prof., though my parents and brother like them. Of course, my brother doesn't agree with me that The Sword of Shannarra is a cheap imitation of LotR, so I can't judge by his opinion<img src=rolleyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"> ...

I haven't read much non-Tolkien fantasy lately, actually. Mostly Shakespeare and Sherlock. Mercedes Lackey is good, and Anne McCaffrey, though she's really more sci-fi (the two get lumped together so much). And I love Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman! The funniest, best-written, sacrilegious apocalyptic novel ever!

But tell me, who are you, alone, yourself and nameless?</p>
