he was compared to Jordan? Poor man. If he had known.


popular serial style fiction? I'm sure Dumas wouldn't appreciate the sorcery added to the swords, but the comparison isn't so far outside of "comparable" that you need to feel offended for the author.


We disagree

Titles or covers? Camilla - 18/06/2010 02:15:56 PM 966 Views
Title I guess random thoughts - 18/06/2010 02:29:14 PM 723 Views
More the cover. nossy - 18/06/2010 03:07:29 PM 725 Views
Probably title Myrdhyn - 18/06/2010 03:15:11 PM 659 Views

Re: Indeed... Camilla - 18/06/2010 07:05:01 PM 736 Views
Title if I had to choose, but unlikely I'd get an unheard-of book without a blurb. *NM* Legolas - 18/06/2010 04:17:23 PM 316 Views
Why don't you people want to play? Camilla - 18/06/2010 04:19:21 PM 717 Views
Okay, so the Martians come down and make you pick between McDonald's and Burger King. Tom - 18/06/2010 04:53:26 PM 667 Views
That is not a fair comparison Camilla - 18/06/2010 04:54:33 PM 654 Views
Yes it is. And you didn't answer my question. Why won't you just play the game? Tom - 18/06/2010 10:57:24 PM 709 Views
Camilla - 18/06/2010 11:00:41 PM 732 Views
Stop spelling it wrong! Rebekah - 18/06/2010 11:15:29 PM 722 Views
I'm sorry. I don't often have reason to spell it. Camilla - 18/06/2010 11:16:42 PM 669 Views
Re: I'm sorry. I don't often have reason to spell it. Rebekah - 18/06/2010 11:20:31 PM 730 Views
Well, in that case - titles. *NM* Tom - 20/06/2010 02:07:19 PM 311 Views
really you just never pick up a book ans say "what the hell I will read this one" random thoughts - 18/06/2010 05:49:05 PM 770 Views
Very rarely, and only in the library if that. Legolas - 18/06/2010 05:54:48 PM 687 Views
I found one of my favorite writers that way random thoughts - 18/06/2010 06:12:00 PM 725 Views
I agree. That was how I got hooked on fantasy. Sort of. Tashmere - 18/06/2010 11:21:41 PM 693 Views
Maybe the scenario is hard to imagine but I have picked up some treasures by title alone. Tashmere - 18/06/2010 11:16:17 PM 657 Views
Re: Maybe the scenario is hard to imagine but I have picked up some treasures by title alone. Camilla - 18/06/2010 11:17:52 PM 694 Views
No they don't. I have lost on several gambles. But I have had enough success that I keep trying. Tashmere - 18/06/2010 11:24:09 PM 688 Views
Agreed. *NM* Camilla - 18/06/2010 11:25:10 PM 300 Views

Neither. I own too many books. Tom - 18/06/2010 04:52:30 PM 687 Views
I would cheat. callandor1000 - 18/06/2010 05:37:29 PM 742 Views
Huh. I suppose, since I have to choose, I'd go for cover. At least it would look pretty. Rebekah - 18/06/2010 05:56:43 PM 672 Views
I was noticing when I went to the public book sale that I am a title person. Tashmere - 18/06/2010 07:56:13 PM 657 Views
But I buy Playboy for the articles! *NM* Larry - 18/06/2010 08:02:52 PM 331 Views
Hmm, that's a toughy. It's really a toss of the dice; could go either way. I'd go with cover... lord-of-shadow - 18/06/2010 08:08:00 PM 747 Views
Neither would be the determinant factor for me... DomA - 18/06/2010 08:20:37 PM 782 Views

Why? *NM* Jacob - 21/06/2010 05:19:20 PM 337 Views

With nothing else to go on I'd say Title. *NM* j-whitt987 - 18/06/2010 10:27:24 PM 288 Views
Cover aria - 19/06/2010 12:30:44 AM 737 Views
Covers are there to stop you from buying books, if they are ugly. jh - 19/06/2010 05:34:22 AM 739 Views
Cover, I suppose. That's what grabbed me for Hyperion and Otherland. *NM* Craig - 19/06/2010 08:50:38 PM 483 Views
Fantasy books have notoriously bad covers. ajah - 20/06/2010 07:51:31 AM 670 Views
What about opening sentence or paragraph? Why isn't that an option? *NM* Tim - 20/06/2010 01:50:59 PM 302 Views
Because it is my survey Camilla - 20/06/2010 01:52:39 PM 696 Views
