I read him, but I never thought it was good. I used to read all the tripe in the world, even if I knew it was tripe.

Reading hitch hikers guide to the galaxy, I think its terrible. Some few one liners were funny other than that the humour is over the top.

But you see, that was just it. It was so obviously NOT a product of the culture. It was like, everyone who was a Good character wanted to protect the poor widdle chyllldrun, but everyone who did not was Bad.
It felt really tacked-on and preachy. Oh well. I've heard his other work is good, but I've never seen any of it in stores.

i finished the mallorean a few days ago ... am now in a between-book-limbo while i clean my room and look for the books i need for uni. might cave in tonight and read some Feist though.
@cal - i didn't find that, i really enjoyed all of them. I'm a bit wary of trying his 'Avalon' book though. has anyone read it? is it any good?

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Well I do not wish to stray from the topic too far so I will just mention that a long and protracted siege occupying most of the story is exactly the story I am writing atm! 
Quite a challenge to keep the story lively at times but I agree it is overlooked too often.
Anyway, still reading The Warrior-Prophet and thoroughly enjoying the unexpected twists and turns. After that, it's gonna have to be The Iliad.

aha ... well the only reason i actually read his books was coz i went to Hay-On-Wye - the town of books (it has 39 bookshops, if u dont believe me ask Morgy) - and i found all the pieces of a trilogy for £1 eachand i can never say no to a cheap book ...
I'm off there in a couple of weeks
you;re going to Hay? when? and via what route? fancy picking me up on the way
i stayed there for a week when i was on the Beacons Project, i'd be a good tour guide and you only have 10-15 books on you're reading list? shameful. i've got at least 25
but its more like 50. fun fun fun and i can finally read what i want to read! exams are over! first stop the belgariad and the mallorean, then the harry potters, then the Feist's and then i might look at my uni reading list - teeheehee. and then i have the entire tom arden series to read, and the kate jacoby's, and random books like catch 22 ... i've got a lot of reading to do

Three To See The King - Magnus Mills
Half way through and it's very witty so far, one review in the back says "Pythonesque...quirky, deadpan and quietly unhinged". Seems about right to me!

I've been forced to put down Woken Furies mid-read, because today I went into Waterstones, and lo and behold, The Ascendancy Veil is out I rate this series second only to Erikson. Morgan doesn't stand a chance
