The two that really impressed over the last year were:-
"Ash: A Secret History" by Mary Gentle "Perdido Street Station" by China Mieville Just wondering what floated other folks boats. Btw - the reason that I put this here and not on "AD&D & Other Fantasy RPG Novels" is I have never read a Forgotten Realms book  (though an ominously large book entitled "Legacy of the Drow - collectors edition" by R.A.Salvatore is lying beside my bed........)------------------ Regards  Mouse [This message has been edited by Mouse (edited 05-21-2001).] |

Mouse, you can put any books you like in the Fantasy & RPG forum! They are not the least bit strict about the category, lol!
I've just been reading 'Diary of a Nobody' by George and Weedon Grossmith, A Stainless Steel Rat is Born by Harry Harrison (umpteenth time) and LOTR yet AGAIN! ------------------

good one, caleb.
a series that i find myself re-reading more than any is the Miles Vorkosigan books written by Lois McMaster Bujold. They are ripping-good reading, part space-opera and political/personal/spy type action. She does every bit as good a job of developing the main character as Card did in the ender series, but with alot more humor. ------------------ Unstinting Gaurdian of Children Defender of Those Unable To

Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie - GREAT fairytale!
Ian McEwan - Enduring Love - heartbreaking The Sorrow, Memory, Thorn books by Tad Williams - have to admit he's a fine fine storyteller Terry Pratchett - Carpe Jugulum  rereading Aldous Huxley's "The Devils of Loudun" - very interesting historical reconstruction and last but not least, the books that my Lit. professor would severely frown upon  the Dragonlance trilogy by Weis and HickmanThese are not my favorites, mind, just the ones I most recently read ------------------ Melusine, Archbabe of the Order of the Holy Flame and the Laughing Hyenas, & Official Entertainer Elf of the BG2 Bar  Your voice is ambrosia |
