he was compared to Jordan? Poor man. If he had known.


popular serial style fiction? I'm sure Dumas wouldn't appreciate the sorcery added to the swords, but the comparison isn't so far outside of "comparable" that you need to feel offended for the author.


We disagree

Titles or covers? Camilla - 18/06/2010 02:15:56 PM 775 Views
Title I guess random thoughts - 18/06/2010 02:29:14 PM 551 Views
More the cover. nossy - 18/06/2010 03:07:29 PM 539 Views
Probably title Myrdhyn - 18/06/2010 03:15:11 PM 497 Views

Title if I had to choose, but unlikely I'd get an unheard-of book without a blurb. *NM* Legolas - 18/06/2010 04:17:23 PM 239 Views
Why don't you people want to play? Camilla - 18/06/2010 04:19:21 PM 537 Views
Okay, so the Martians come down and make you pick between McDonald's and Burger King. Tom - 18/06/2010 04:53:26 PM 493 Views
That is not a fair comparison Camilla - 18/06/2010 04:54:33 PM 476 Views
Yes it is. And you didn't answer my question. Why won't you just play the game? Tom - 18/06/2010 10:57:24 PM 541 Views
Camilla - 18/06/2010 11:00:41 PM 567 Views
Stop spelling it wrong! Rebekah - 18/06/2010 11:15:29 PM 535 Views
I'm sorry. I don't often have reason to spell it. Camilla - 18/06/2010 11:16:42 PM 491 Views
Re: I'm sorry. I don't often have reason to spell it. Rebekah - 18/06/2010 11:20:31 PM 547 Views
Well, in that case - titles. *NM* Tom - 20/06/2010 02:07:19 PM 239 Views
really you just never pick up a book ans say "what the hell I will read this one" random thoughts - 18/06/2010 05:49:05 PM 584 Views
Very rarely, and only in the library if that. Legolas - 18/06/2010 05:54:48 PM 514 Views
I found one of my favorite writers that way random thoughts - 18/06/2010 06:12:00 PM 538 Views
I agree. That was how I got hooked on fantasy. Sort of. Tashmere - 18/06/2010 11:21:41 PM 510 Views
Maybe the scenario is hard to imagine but I have picked up some treasures by title alone. Tashmere - 18/06/2010 11:16:17 PM 499 Views
Re: Maybe the scenario is hard to imagine but I have picked up some treasures by title alone. Camilla - 18/06/2010 11:17:52 PM 511 Views
No they don't. I have lost on several gambles. But I have had enough success that I keep trying. Tashmere - 18/06/2010 11:24:09 PM 509 Views
Agreed. *NM* Camilla - 18/06/2010 11:25:10 PM 228 Views

Neither. I own too many books. Tom - 18/06/2010 04:52:30 PM 504 Views
I would cheat. callandor1000 - 18/06/2010 05:37:29 PM 540 Views
Huh. I suppose, since I have to choose, I'd go for cover. At least it would look pretty. Rebekah - 18/06/2010 05:56:43 PM 489 Views
I was noticing when I went to the public book sale that I am a title person. Tashmere - 18/06/2010 07:56:13 PM 489 Views
But I buy Playboy for the articles! *NM* Larry - 18/06/2010 08:02:52 PM 252 Views
Hmm, that's a toughy. It's really a toss of the dice; could go either way. I'd go with cover... lord-of-shadow - 18/06/2010 08:08:00 PM 562 Views
Neither would be the determinant factor for me... DomA - 18/06/2010 08:20:37 PM 580 Views

Why? *NM* Jacob - 21/06/2010 05:19:20 PM 258 Views

With nothing else to go on I'd say Title. *NM* j-whitt987 - 18/06/2010 10:27:24 PM 214 Views
Cover aria - 19/06/2010 12:30:44 AM 546 Views
Covers are there to stop you from buying books, if they are ugly. jh - 19/06/2010 05:34:22 AM 552 Views
Cover, I suppose. That's what grabbed me for Hyperion and Otherland. *NM* Craig - 19/06/2010 08:50:38 PM 323 Views
Fantasy books have notoriously bad covers. ajah - 20/06/2010 07:51:31 AM 481 Views
What about opening sentence or paragraph? Why isn't that an option? *NM* Tim - 20/06/2010 01:50:59 PM 232 Views
Because it is my survey Camilla - 20/06/2010 01:52:39 PM 520 Views
