Do we have some kind of "Scottish play" thing going here? Legolas Send a noteboard - 28/10/2009 10:25:08 PM
When the time comes, what fantasy and sci-fi series will you share with your children/nieces/nephews/random children/hypothetical children, since they all should be finished by then (then = X date in the future). Well, all except Martin's books, I suppose. ;)

Which will you make sure they read? Which would you tell them not to touch with a 10-foot pole?



Are we not allowed to speak the sacrilegious words for fear of being banished to the WoT board? ;)

Seriously, mostly Tolkien, Wheel of Time, and a couple others I guess... many others of course if they were into fantasy and wanted recommendations.
