i love ggk. haven't read the other one. interesting question... curious to see what comes of it temeraire Send a noteboard - 07/04/2012 03:19:45 AM
can't really think of others that make sense to suggest. i wouldn't have thought of the 2 you suggest either though. i suppose i have the sense that people's tastes are too different to allow for one fantasy book that everyone likes?
"it's like the real world, except there's dragons!"

cw, you are missed...

Is there a universally liked fantasy book? Tim - 06/04/2012 08:51:12 PM 1777 Views
I like The Fionavar Tapestry, but I don't expect everybody does. Legolas - 06/04/2012 09:08:18 PM 1208 Views
Not really Larry - 07/04/2012 01:23:38 AM 1109 Views
That surprises me. I would think you'd have enjoyed LIONS or TIGANA. *NM* Ghavrel - 07/04/2012 07:39:08 AM 458 Views
I disliked Sarantium and Under Heaven Larry - 07/04/2012 07:49:50 AM 1096 Views
Agreed in the case of Lions of al-Rassan. Legolas - 07/04/2012 10:34:02 AM 1026 Views

Seems a silly question to ask. Ghavrel - 07/04/2012 07:37:44 AM 1013 Views
Simply--no. Palatine - 07/04/2012 04:37:16 PM 1351 Views
Except for LOTR wasn't that original. Stephen - 07/04/2012 05:14:49 PM 916 Views
Perhaps. Palatine - 08/04/2012 04:33:07 PM 1040 Views

Agreed. Tolkien is the closest you'll get. Tom - 09/04/2012 12:46:04 AM 1071 Views
I agree about Tolkien DomA - 11/04/2012 12:35:51 AM 1045 Views
Sword of Truth series. *NM* Kotagg - 07/04/2012 06:11:27 PM 407 Views
Seconded. We should all grow yurds. *NM* Artsapat - 09/04/2012 07:33:00 PM 457 Views
I haven't read either of those A Deathwatch Guard - 07/04/2012 11:52:47 PM 962 Views
Hm. I think it'd be hard to hate David Eddings' The Belgariad beetnemesis - 09/04/2012 06:32:49 PM 906 Views
That only counts for those who have nostalgic feelings for it, I'm afraid. *NM* Legolas - 09/04/2012 08:45:48 PM 422 Views
Yes, trying to read it for the first time aged 19 wasn't an enjoyable experience. Stephen - 10/04/2012 01:03:19 AM 913 Views
More like having your love for it curdle into hate after reading the Mallorean, Elenium & Tamuli Cannoli - 10/04/2012 02:42:49 PM 1116 Views
Ha, at least in Mallorean it was a plot point (albeit a lame one) beetnemesis - 10/04/2012 03:52:27 PM 1028 Views
nostalgia kick for sure. i daren't reread that Foxhead - 01/05/2012 10:25:24 PM 1305 Views
I would've thought Tigana. rebelaessedai - 10/04/2012 04:24:56 AM 918 Views
Horrendous Book Wibble - 10/04/2012 12:16:55 PM 996 Views
I love Tigana, but yeah, Wibble's not the only one who doesn't. Legolas - 10/04/2012 07:13:00 PM 925 Views
Good to know. rebelaessedai - 16/04/2012 04:56:48 AM 1174 Views
I read Tigana very recently Stephen - 16/04/2012 02:12:38 PM 1055 Views
Well, like I said, it's not one of my faves. rebelaessedai - 10/05/2012 03:53:49 AM 1049 Views
Of course not. Who could like something that's not real? *NM* jh - 10/04/2012 07:39:30 PM 434 Views
Oh, that's a really good question. Vivien - 10/04/2012 08:52:51 PM 1017 Views

so the tawny man onwards kind of sucked Foxhead - 01/05/2012 10:27:41 PM 1060 Views
ursula le guin - earthsea? *NM* Foxhead - 01/05/2012 10:28:35 PM 487 Views
The first one, at least, should be liked by everyone. (IMO) Tim - 01/05/2012 10:59:34 PM 966 Views
