as for book series, I loved the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. It is a.long, detail oriented series but awesome. So if your into fantasy books, I'd recommend it
The Terry Goodkind books certainly show up so often I should just go ahead a read them- is it terrible that I was turned off way back when I was rambling the stacks at the local library waiting for a ride and I thought the covers were cheesy? And I've just never taken the time to reinvestigate? Terrible, right?
Aviastar - You really SHOULD read his books. I am working on re-reading them now along with the ones I'm going to mention in my next post. I enjoy fantasy that isn't over the top, like LOTR. This is similar. No Unicorns or overly made up creatures. The magical essence to it is just that... magical. The story line follows a very moralistic code of truth, honor, bravery, and liberty. I just love this series and have always considered it one of the best in fantasy writing.
Ok, I looked them up again and now I remember- I watched the TV show based on these books without knowing they were based on these books, and I really enjoyed it. I read some commentary- here on PS and elsewhere- that the first book is great, but the series got repetitive. So I walked away again. But I'm going to officially put it on the list now, at least the first one, and give it an actual read!
