i love ggk. haven't read the other one. interesting question... curious to see what comes of it temeraire Send a noteboard - 07/04/2012 03:19:45 AM
can't really think of others that make sense to suggest. i wouldn't have thought of the 2 you suggest either though. i suppose i have the sense that people's tastes are too different to allow for one fantasy book that everyone likes?
"it's like the real world, except there's dragons!"

cw, you are missed...

Is there a universally liked fantasy book? Tim - 06/04/2012 08:51:12 PM 1716 Views
I like The Fionavar Tapestry, but I don't expect everybody does. Legolas - 06/04/2012 09:08:18 PM 1152 Views
Not really Larry - 07/04/2012 01:23:38 AM 1058 Views
That surprises me. I would think you'd have enjoyed LIONS or TIGANA. *NM* Ghavrel - 07/04/2012 07:39:08 AM 435 Views
I disliked Sarantium and Under Heaven Larry - 07/04/2012 07:49:50 AM 1049 Views
Agreed in the case of Lions of al-Rassan. Legolas - 07/04/2012 10:34:02 AM 974 Views

Seems a silly question to ask. Ghavrel - 07/04/2012 07:37:44 AM 961 Views
Simply--no. Palatine - 07/04/2012 04:37:16 PM 1296 Views
Except for LOTR wasn't that original. Stephen - 07/04/2012 05:14:49 PM 861 Views
Perhaps. Palatine - 08/04/2012 04:33:07 PM 986 Views

Agreed. Tolkien is the closest you'll get. Tom - 09/04/2012 12:46:04 AM 1001 Views
I agree about Tolkien DomA - 11/04/2012 12:35:51 AM 992 Views
Sword of Truth series. *NM* Kotagg - 07/04/2012 06:11:27 PM 378 Views
Seconded. We should all grow yurds. *NM* Artsapat - 09/04/2012 07:33:00 PM 432 Views
I haven't read either of those A Deathwatch Guard - 07/04/2012 11:52:47 PM 908 Views
Hm. I think it'd be hard to hate David Eddings' The Belgariad beetnemesis - 09/04/2012 06:32:49 PM 850 Views
That only counts for those who have nostalgic feelings for it, I'm afraid. *NM* Legolas - 09/04/2012 08:45:48 PM 395 Views
Yes, trying to read it for the first time aged 19 wasn't an enjoyable experience. Stephen - 10/04/2012 01:03:19 AM 860 Views
More like having your love for it curdle into hate after reading the Mallorean, Elenium & Tamuli Cannoli - 10/04/2012 02:42:49 PM 1064 Views
Ha, at least in Mallorean it was a plot point (albeit a lame one) beetnemesis - 10/04/2012 03:52:27 PM 971 Views
nostalgia kick for sure. i daren't reread that Foxhead - 01/05/2012 10:25:24 PM 1239 Views
I would've thought Tigana. rebelaessedai - 10/04/2012 04:24:56 AM 865 Views
Horrendous Book Wibble - 10/04/2012 12:16:55 PM 945 Views
I love Tigana, but yeah, Wibble's not the only one who doesn't. Legolas - 10/04/2012 07:13:00 PM 872 Views
Good to know. rebelaessedai - 16/04/2012 04:56:48 AM 1112 Views
I read Tigana very recently Stephen - 16/04/2012 02:12:38 PM 1001 Views
Well, like I said, it's not one of my faves. rebelaessedai - 10/05/2012 03:53:49 AM 993 Views
Of course not. Who could like something that's not real? *NM* jh - 10/04/2012 07:39:30 PM 403 Views
Oh, that's a really good question. Vivien - 10/04/2012 08:52:51 PM 959 Views

ursula le guin - earthsea? *NM* Foxhead - 01/05/2012 10:28:35 PM 451 Views
The first one, at least, should be liked by everyone. (IMO) Tim - 01/05/2012 10:59:34 PM 909 Views
