Douglas Niles also seems to be a prominant Forgotten realms and, if I'm not mistaken, Dragonlance author.

I read Servant starting from chapter 15 last week. It's good from there. I started Witch King in the middle of the week. It looks pretty good. I just don't like too many characters at once. It gets a bit confusing; specially when they have tricky names. I must say the humor is definatly a hugh point in this one.

<font color=skyblue>How do you all feel about the new re-releases that are in a chronological order? In other words, coming in January, the paperback of Crystal Shard will be out, and it is labeled as Book 4 of the Legend of Drizzt collection. I have the original, though time is showing with its yellowed pages, but I am proud of it. I collect all FR books, and these are among my most treasured for their value on different levels, personal and collectable.

So, how do you all feel about the new releases that have great cover art, but the order is all changed for chronolgy's sake...would you buy the re-releases and put them up there with the originals, or forget the newer publishings and stay proud of what I have?</font>

I don't go in for that myself. If I see one on for a good price (new or used) I buy it. I can get all this stuff at the library, why waste my money?

Some of the side books for Forgotten Realms (lets not abbreviate, for those who don't know) are also very good.

(went digging through the book case)

The Jewel of Turmish. The Druidhome Trilogy. I think Realms of Magic is another one. It tells how Guenwyvar was created and many other short stories.

I bought Starless Night a few years back. Used hard cover for $18cdn, but it's signed! Who would get rid of such a thing!?

The Harper series is also fun to read.
