Icewind Dale Trilogy is a nice east read and the dragonlance chronicals (auturm-winter-spring) it kind of goes downhill after that. (although i found the test of the twins series entertaining but thats partly because i like the time travel paradox ideas)

Good to know; that's what I like so much about Feist. All his books take place in the same 2 worlds and although some of the main characters change (some stay the same) you always get the feeling you are "visiting" a familiar place.

was something like:
Imagine someone invented cats eyes, brilliant, and impressive,.
Then a few years later they reveal thier latest invention... green cats eyes still useful but not new or impressive and serves the same function.
then a few years later... red cats eyes.... ect
Now change the cats eyes for the belgariad.. mallorian... ect and you get an idea what the books are like.
Techniqally differant and yet effectively the same. <grin>

Well that's the problem with a lot of these saga's; you often get the "been there done that" kinda feeling but if the books are really good I don't really mind

Yeh but, different coloured cats eyes do serve a puropse, like, telling you where the slip roads are... different David Eddings books? Well I suppose you could stack 'em up with a bit of board on top and make a coffee table. :/

I did, I said Forgotten Realms earlier

Robert Jordans, "Wheel of Time" <- I think Ovi mentioned this one..imo thats a worthless book

Especially the swedish edition with their silly translations.

if you dont like the translations, why not read the english version? and yes, there are some rather silly translations in it I agree on that, I still like it tho.

Who said I havent read the english one? I've read the english and only briefly checked the swedish as a mate told me about the bad translation.

The book was imo worthless...

...and i've got forgotten realms audiobooks
