@Veni Vidi Visa: GOSU FTW is just as appropriate as any answer, given that in the end one is only trying to get a point across. Sure, it might lack a certain elegance, but hey, who cares

.

Re-read all of the Belgariad, Mallorean and the prequels/sequels to these series by David Eddings. Reason: my lung condition has pretty much left me homebound so Waterstones or Sterling Bookshop have been out of my reach

I'm rather happy that Jordan is getting at least as much commendation as Tolkien. Wouldn't he be happy eh?

i must vote null, cause i think before those comes Salvatore, Weiss, Hickmann

edit
maybe first from list is Eddings, belgariad wasnt bad after all, hmmh, dunno what my opinion would now be, since its over 10 years when i readed it.

I agree with you that Margaret Weiss is very good too but this poll can only contain up to a maximum of 10 slots

.

distortion-, you'll have to forgive me for that slip but I feel I must forwarn you that you'll probably find many more mistakes like that from me. I often type or write very fast as thoughts just flow unto paper (not as easily on a computer since I can't type all that fast

). The simple fact of the matter is that I often don't reread my posts to check for errors. I'll do my best to refrain from many of these mistakes which I'm sure are pure torture to such a learned One as you

Heheh, it wasn't even you who made the mistake.

And I wasn't angry about it, I just found it slightly ironic.

Wow, it has been a while since I've visited this subforum. What with all my module work and whatnot I've been fairly content to come on d2jsp and trade/chat on Irc

. Now, however, I'm back for more arguments
