Too many books. jh Send a noteboard - 17/03/2011 07:10:16 PM
Have you read anything by Eddings?


Yes

If yes, how long ago did you (first) read it/them?


something like 18-19 years ago?

- Do you reread?


It happened.

- What's your favourite of his series?


the belgariad, I believe.

- Favourite character?


Tricky one. Don't really remember all that well.

- Are the Elenium and Tamuli set in a version of Earth? Or is it a version of the world of the Belgariad and Mallorean?


No.

If no, why not? :P


Why would it be?

I've just reread The Elenium (bought the trilogy from my charity bookshop a few weeks ago) and I loved it. It's certainly my favourite of his series. I am torn about whether I want to reread The Tamuli, though. I want character closure, but it's not very good.


Meh. It is a lot better than some of his later efforts.

Oh. Totally bad place to start. Rebekah - 16/03/2011 09:45:40 PM 961 Views
No. Never cared to read it, since I rarely read epic fantasies until 13-14 years ago. *NM* Larry - 16/03/2011 09:33:52 PM 576 Views

If you're remembering sex scenes, odds are it wasn't an Eddings book. *NM* Legolas - 17/03/2011 09:51:54 PM 386 Views

I really liked the first two series but his style got really stale after that *NM* random thoughts - 17/03/2011 01:30:33 PM 388 Views
Makes sense, even though I don't agree with you. *NM* Rebekah - 18/03/2011 02:06:38 PM 401 Views
