you are embarrased about reading Tad Williams?? (plus my choices) imlad Send a noteboard - 23/09/2009 08:07:18 PM
David Eddings- I have a soft spot for these, since my mother read them to us as kids. I grew up on Belgarion and Belgarath and all those other Bels.

Feist- Some of the earliest fantasy I read on my own. I own most of these, and still proudly display them.

Tad Williams Memory Sorrow and Thorn- Again, read them young, softspot.

Joseph Delaney's The Last Apprentice Series- I don't know that these are really something to be embarrassed of, other than the fact that I gobble each one up like candy when it comes out, and they're written for 12 year olds.

Barb and JC Hendee's vampire stuff, can't remember the series name. Man, they need spellcheck. I've never seen so many misspellings in a published book. And yet I read several of them before they got boring on me.

There are others, but it's late and I can't really think of them.


I just re-read William's trilogy a year or two ago, and found them to be just as wonderful as I remembered. I've always felt they were one of my favorites of all time. Excellent writing.

Now the Eddings stuff, I read those when I was young (meaning in my teens), and I enjoyed them then, but now I see them as drek. Just as I read the original two trilogies of the Dragonlance stuff (Chronicles, and the trilogy where Caramon and Raistlin go back in time) and enjoyed them when I was young. I don't know if I could get through them now though.

Another one to be embarrassed about reading (well, at the age I read them it is forgivable, but too old to read them now) is Piers Anthony's "Xanth" books. YECH!!! Now, Anthony used to be my favorite (living) author, but then I grew hair in funny places. Although, I do have to say, his "Bio of a Space Tyrant" and the "Incarnations of Immortality" were pretty good in my opinion.

Now, for the book that I am MOST embarrassed that I actually read (and yes, I made it through to the end, just wish I never wasted the time with it...)
