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 915 Views
Title I guess random thoughts - 18/06/2010 02:29:14 PM 677 Views
More the cover. nossy - 18/06/2010 03:07:29 PM 676 Views
Probably title Myrdhyn - 18/06/2010 03:15:11 PM 617 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 298 Views
Why don't you people want to play? Camilla - 18/06/2010 04:19:21 PM 668 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 628 Views
That is not a fair comparison Camilla - 18/06/2010 04:54:33 PM 606 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 665 Views
Camilla - 18/06/2010 11:00:41 PM 692 Views
Stop spelling it wrong! Rebekah - 18/06/2010 11:15:29 PM 673 Views
I'm sorry. I don't often have reason to spell it. Camilla - 18/06/2010 11:16:42 PM 625 Views
Re: I'm sorry. I don't often have reason to spell it. Rebekah - 18/06/2010 11:20:31 PM 687 Views
Well, in that case - titles. *NM* Tom - 20/06/2010 02:07:19 PM 294 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 726 Views
Very rarely, and only in the library if that. Legolas - 18/06/2010 05:54:48 PM 641 Views
I found one of my favorite writers that way random thoughts - 18/06/2010 06:12:00 PM 670 Views
I agree. That was how I got hooked on fantasy. Sort of. Tashmere - 18/06/2010 11:21:41 PM 645 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 603 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 639 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 649 Views
Agreed. *NM* Camilla - 18/06/2010 11:25:10 PM 282 Views

Neither. I own too many books. Tom - 18/06/2010 04:52:30 PM 644 Views
I would cheat. callandor1000 - 18/06/2010 05:37:29 PM 691 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 631 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 620 Views
But I buy Playboy for the articles! *NM* Larry - 18/06/2010 08:02:52 PM 312 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 701 Views
Neither would be the determinant factor for me... DomA - 18/06/2010 08:20:37 PM 732 Views

Why? *NM* Jacob - 21/06/2010 05:19:20 PM 318 Views

With nothing else to go on I'd say Title. *NM* j-whitt987 - 18/06/2010 10:27:24 PM 271 Views
Cover aria - 19/06/2010 12:30:44 AM 687 Views
Covers are there to stop you from buying books, if they are ugly. jh - 19/06/2010 05:34:22 AM 690 Views
Cover, I suppose. That's what grabbed me for Hyperion and Otherland. *NM* Craig - 19/06/2010 08:50:38 PM 457 Views
Fantasy books have notoriously bad covers. ajah - 20/06/2010 07:51:31 AM 622 Views
What about opening sentence or paragraph? Why isn't that an option? *NM* Tim - 20/06/2010 01:50:59 PM 281 Views
Because it is my survey Camilla - 20/06/2010 01:52:39 PM 657 Views
