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 2104 Views
I like The Fionavar Tapestry, but I don't expect everybody does. Legolas - 06/04/2012 09:08:18 PM 1546 Views
Not really Larry - 07/04/2012 01:23:38 AM 1502 Views
That surprises me. I would think you'd have enjoyed LIONS or TIGANA. *NM* Ghavrel - 07/04/2012 07:39:08 AM 568 Views
I disliked Sarantium and Under Heaven Larry - 07/04/2012 07:49:50 AM 1424 Views
Agreed in the case of Lions of al-Rassan. Legolas - 07/04/2012 10:34:02 AM 1339 Views

Seems a silly question to ask. Ghavrel - 07/04/2012 07:37:44 AM 1341 Views
Simply--no. Palatine - 07/04/2012 04:37:16 PM 1739 Views
Except for LOTR wasn't that original. Stephen - 07/04/2012 05:14:49 PM 1235 Views
Perhaps. Palatine - 08/04/2012 04:33:07 PM 1395 Views

Agreed. Tolkien is the closest you'll get. Tom - 09/04/2012 12:46:04 AM 1378 Views
I agree about Tolkien DomA - 11/04/2012 12:35:51 AM 1356 Views
Sword of Truth series. *NM* Kotagg - 07/04/2012 06:11:27 PM 556 Views
Seconded. We should all grow yurds. *NM* Artsapat - 09/04/2012 07:33:00 PM 658 Views
I haven't read either of those A Deathwatch Guard - 07/04/2012 11:52:47 PM 1287 Views
Hm. I think it'd be hard to hate David Eddings' The Belgariad beetnemesis - 09/04/2012 06:32:49 PM 1246 Views
That only counts for those who have nostalgic feelings for it, I'm afraid. *NM* Legolas - 09/04/2012 08:45:48 PM 591 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 1225 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 1481 Views
Ha, at least in Mallorean it was a plot point (albeit a lame one) beetnemesis - 10/04/2012 03:52:27 PM 1355 Views
nostalgia kick for sure. i daren't reread that Foxhead - 01/05/2012 10:25:24 PM 1696 Views
I would've thought Tigana. rebelaessedai - 10/04/2012 04:24:56 AM 1257 Views
Horrendous Book Wibble - 10/04/2012 12:16:55 PM 1291 Views
I love Tigana, but yeah, Wibble's not the only one who doesn't. Legolas - 10/04/2012 07:13:00 PM 1238 Views
Good to know. rebelaessedai - 16/04/2012 04:56:48 AM 1597 Views
I read Tigana very recently Stephen - 16/04/2012 02:12:38 PM 1376 Views
Well, like I said, it's not one of my faves. rebelaessedai - 10/05/2012 03:53:49 AM 1425 Views
Of course not. Who could like something that's not real? *NM* jh - 10/04/2012 07:39:30 PM 568 Views
Oh, that's a really good question. Vivien - 10/04/2012 08:52:51 PM 1360 Views

ursula le guin - earthsea? *NM* Foxhead - 01/05/2012 10:28:35 PM 690 Views
The first one, at least, should be liked by everyone. (IMO) Tim - 01/05/2012 10:59:34 PM 1307 Views
