first ever fantasy book i read, and still my favourite.Reading Raymond Feist's - Magician. The first of the Riftwar series. Very simple, very entertaining fantasy. The easiest to read book that i've read in the genre for ages. Good change from some fantasy books that that almost become a chore to read.
Will put it on my reading list. Never read any Gemmel.Just finished Fall of Kings, the last book in David Gemmel's Troy series. Smashed was right, you can not tell where he stopped writing and his wife picked up. I prefered this take of the story to the movie, i have to say. It's a real shame he passed away.
Would you recommend reading the other two books from the Riftwar series, or is Magician good enough as a stand alone book ?first ever fantasy book i read, and still my favourite.
Definitely worth reading the other two as they are a continuation of the story. I'd also recommend you read the Empire series he did with Jen(?) Wuurts.Would you recommend reading the other two books from the Riftwar series, or is Magician good enough as a stand alone book ?
I loved that book. You start talking like a cornish farmer afterwards!Just starting Far from the Maddening Crowd.
I've tried to read this twice now, and given up 50 or so pages in. Is it really worth the effort, do you think? It just seems to ramble.Just finished Catch-22.
Brilliant.
Oh yes. Most definitely worth the effort. Keep at it man !!I've tried to read this twice now, and given up 50 or so pages in. Is it really worth the effort, do you think? It just seems to ramble.
Oh allright then. Will get my hands on the other two also. But after finishing Riftwar, I think i'll move onto reading 'The Road'. Its been on my reading list for ages now.Definitely worth reading the other two as they are a continuation of the story. I'd also recommend you read the Empire series he did with Jen(?) Wuurts.
All done. Besides "A Memory of Light" ofcourse (which is due out early next year).Anyone, aside me, from read/reading the 'Wheel of Time' series by the late Robert Jordan?
Excellent.All done. Besides "A Memory of Light" ofcourse (which is due out early next year).
I found it really difficult to keep a hold on to focus on the latter books, especially as he kept adding a million new insignificant characters in the latter books , that led to hardly any plot progression.Excellent.
I'm midway through 'A Crown of Swords' at the moment. Had to give it a brief break when the latest from Raymond E. Feist came out, but am jumping back into it now.
Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn series) is supposed to finish the series working on notes, audio recordings that Jordan gave his wife. Have high hopes for a good ending to the series.Apparently his wife will be finishing his last book(s)?
Aah 'Magician,' my single favourite book ever. I won't let on about his massive series though, but they're worthy of a good read.I found it really difficult to keep a hold on to focus on the latter books, especially as he kept adding a million new insignificant characters in the latter books , that led to hardly any plot progression.
Reading my first ever Feist book - "Magician". Loving it so far, great simple read, compared to WoT.

Is it any good? will it make a good film?just finished killing pablo just found out there making a filim bout it and next year with Christian Bale.
Wrath of a Mad God (I think it was called).What's the new Feist book out cesc's mullet?
A couple of my friends reached about 50 pages and gave up on it as well, said pretty much the same thing, but it is definitely worth it. Give it another go, turned out to be one of my favorite books.I've tried to read this twice now, and given up 50 or so pages in. Is it really worth the effort, do you think? It just seems to ramble.
Echoed, i think you have to go all or nothing with that book. I tried and failed on a few occasions, but restarted and finished it in Crete last year - took me a little over 4 days. I have forgotten most of the story already.A couple of my friends reached about 50 pages and gave up on it as well, said pretty much the same thing, but it is definitely worth it.

i was gonna get that book as well.. is it good so far?just fnished Patty Boyd autobigraphy - she was married to George Harrison and Clapton - some interesting bits about life with a pop star. I´ve now started on Clapton´s autobiography - never knew he was illegitimate. His father was a Canadian Air Force Captain and he was brought up by his grandparents who he thought were his parents
I wanted to know whether it was worth reading The Brothers of Karamazov, si ti?
