Re: got some books today
I tried reading one or two Elminster books some years ago but, in my opinion, the character was so over-the-top unbelievable and Greenwood made sure that his character was completely unkillable that I gave up. Why he didn't simply go ahead and promote Elminster to godhood I don't know, he was already two-thirds of the way there...at least before they moved the clock forward 100 years in the official Faerun timeline. That was done so they could kill off or quit using the old standard characters created by people like Greenwood, Jeff Grubb, etc.
My wife has been reading through all my Drizzt books. I think I am missing one or two--Orc King, Pirate King, one of the Thousand Orc trilogy, etc. and possibly the latest one the name of which I forget.

Re: got some books today
Just started reading Elminster, so far so good
Azred, I can understand your feeling about Elminster though, but I really like epic characters that is almost unkillable That is what makes them so special..
