Drunken Monkey Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 anyone read jonothan strange and mr norrell by susanna clarke? post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
battousai16 Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 i've just never been able to get into fantasy, it's just not really my thing. however, a friend of mine made me read "so you want to be a wizard" by diane duane, and i didn't hate it. "I hear you can kill 200 men and play a mean six string at the same time..."-Six String Samurai
SaiFightsMS Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 I just got into the Robert Jordan Series. And I reviewed an advance reader copy of a new book by Stephen R. Donaldson. Anyone remember The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant?
Drunken Monkey Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 the lepar? where real and fantasy gets very blurred? never read it but heard of it during my art school days...... post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
ncole_91 Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Try Hard Rain or Rain Fall... both are pretty good. About a hitman in Japan. Great detail and attention to martial arts as well. Are they a series or anything? I dont want to buy the 2nd book and have no clue what is going on...
Shorin Ryuu Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 sounds cool, which book is the fiirst in the series The first one is "The Eye of the World". While it is fantasy, it is not "overdone", in my opinion. Their version of magic (a quite interesting spin on yin and yang, in my opinion) is actually pretty interesting. Also the storyline is of a pretty epic scale that rivals The Lord of the Rings in my opinion. Martial Arts Blog:http://bujutsublogger.blogspot.com/

Jordan's series is quite good...but if you get into be prepared to be in for the long haul... it's up to what..10 books now? ...and in the last few he is really starting to darg...the last one is truly 700 pages in which NOTHING major happened to advance the plot...
