Only the Belgariad. Tim Send a noteboard - 16/03/2011 11:24:32 PM
Have you read anything by Eddings?


Yes – see above.

If yes, how long ago did you (first) read it/them?


Last year.

- Do you reread?


Rarely.

- What's your favourite of his series?


I only have one to choose from...

- Favourite character?


Belgarath. How boring of me.

- Are the Elenium and Tamuli set in a version of Earth? Or is it a version of the world of the Belgariad and Mallorean?


Not a clue.

If no, why not? :P


Because I haven't read them.

I've just reread The Elenium (bought the trilogy from my charity bookshop a few weeks ago) and I loved it. It's certainly my favourite of his series. I am torn about whether I want to reread The Tamuli, though. I want character closure, but it's not very good.


You could just read the final big scene of each book?
Vigilantibus non dormientibus jura subveniunt.

—Nous disons en allemand : le guerre, le mort, le lune, alors que 'soleil' et 'amour' sont du sexe féminin : la soleil, la amour. La vie est neutre.

—La vie ? Neutre ? C'est très joli, et surtout très logique.

Oh. Totally bad place to start. Rebekah - 16/03/2011 09:45:40 PM 1019 Views
No. Never cared to read it, since I rarely read epic fantasies until 13-14 years ago. *NM* Larry - 16/03/2011 09:33:52 PM 614 Views

If you're remembering sex scenes, odds are it wasn't an Eddings book. *NM* Legolas - 17/03/2011 09:51:54 PM 417 Views

I really liked the first two series but his style got really stale after that *NM* random thoughts - 17/03/2011 01:30:33 PM 423 Views
Makes sense, even though I don't agree with you. *NM* Rebekah - 18/03/2011 02:06:38 PM 431 Views
