You've got a great list, and having looked up further information on Taliesin and Lord Foul's Bane, I'm probably going to dig into those two series myself, in that order. > > Having started a new job lately -- and putting lots of my free time into an Easter play -- I haven't had much time for pleasure-reading, unfortunately. But I'm hoping to find the time before too long to finish up all the books I've set aside halfway through: Endymion, Atlas Shrugged, Lucifer's Hammer, Speaker for the Dead (second reading), and The Two Towers (okay, I haven't touched that one in about ten months :-) ). And *then* I can start on Taliesin! Yay! > > Iss "anyone read anything recommendable lately? Dave?" achar
I've just started "Eye of the World" by Robert Jordan. I've never read any of his books before so I'm anxious to see what his writing style is like. I've heard various people say that he is long-winded and too detail oriented but I'll have to see for myself.
I've heard a lot of positive feedback on his Wheel of Time series so I figured I'd give it a try. I'm hoping that I manage to get *something* out of it, and the BAM crucifixions...I mean, versions...won't spoil it for me. ;-)
