Flicking through and old copy of L&L i noticed stuff about Nehwon, and it had a list of books by fritz

Swords against deviltry
Swords against death
Swords in the mist
Swords against wizardry
The swords of Lankhmar
Swords and ice magic
The knight and knave of swords

Yes, I enjoyed them immensely. Leiber had a wonderful sense of humor that often translated into *interesting* situations for his two protagonists, Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser. It's been years since I've read them, though; now I'm tempted to try and dig them out again!

Davros swivels his computer chair round to look at the #2 bookcase - hmmm, should be somewhere there....., yup there they are (well 6 of them anyway). These were very enjoyable, and have re-read them a few times. Well worth the effort.

Leiber was an exceptional writer and very few modern writers can compare to his skill. He has many great stories of the fantasy genre.' He not only could write classic fantasy but his horror stories can make you skin crawl without all that blood and gore. His horror is definitly of the psychological variety (which I have always believed to be the most terrifying).
