But, for the crime of inventing a character as repulsive and nauseating as Artemis Enteri, and, unforgivably,then not killing him off, I never read him any more. BTW, I see that I left Homer off the list. I re-read the Iliad last year, and found it as fascinating as I did the first time that I read it at age 12.

LOL, I know what you mean.
I've read the first three Drizzt books and enjoyed them (like you enjoy a nice sandwich as compared to a delicious three-course dinner
). I do read such books on occasion, but I wouldn't even put them on the same SCALE as literature...
Coincidentally, I also re-read the Iliad when I was in Greece last summer (seemed fitting somehow
). I must have been about 11 when I did a presentation on Greek mythology in primary school, and with me also, the fascination remains... [img]smile.gif[/img]
