*punches you all who have disgraced a good off topic thread with " books "*
*shudder*

You guys need to get a scapegoat for the druid forum, because I think the OTF is the only place where we should get durf.

We have the Pit of Strid Sexing. And who needs a scapegoat when we have Garbad?

Salvatore is too clichéd IMO. I'm really picky with my fantasy.
you get what you look for I suppose. The first time I read the books (maybe 3-5 years ago) I was all "omg Dr1zzt r teh shitzor" but now reading again (bought them) I'm enjoying it still, but more like one enjoys Star Wars for the 5th time (teh exciting) and opposed to the first (omg I wanna be Luke!)

but I also think he has gotten a bad wrap for his success (much the way muscians get called "sell-outs")...it's easy to be cliché after all, but it's still not easy to be great at it


What are your thoughts on Dragonlance, Proud?
 
Never read it. Honestly, so much mainstream fantasy and sci-fi just doesn't appeal to me.

Edit: You should all read a bunch of my fantasy/comedy writing. If anyone wants I can email the first 10000 words of my novel-in-progress or something. Alain likes it. :p

give me some reccomended reading

Here. Now be nice boy and read through all of them and report back which ones are worth reading. :D I usually read Starship dest, Least I could do and Order of the stick.

I also saw a glimpse(sp) of Barry browsing, but he too has avoided posting in our OT lately. :(

And Ash Housewarez, sticks and mep... or some of you spam like no tomorrow and drown out all the not-so-spamadelic posters. :uhhuh:
 
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielski :thumbsup:

It's a book about a guy who puts together a book from bits and pieces lying around a dead guy's flat. The book is about a film that never existed. The film is about a house that couldn't exist cause its just too freaky, there is a door in a wall that leads down into blackness, but the door is on a wall only a few inches thick, so it can't possibly lead anywhere. The guy putting the book together goes mad. His mum was already mad, and thats kinda disturbing too.

It's good.

OotS is good too. I'm tempted to buy one of their T-shirts...

no, moths and butterflies are different (at least in Canada)
