Hey, is that sig a picture of you? If so, where'd you get the ashandarei?

[Nelal Hurcran]

That's the beautiful thing about single lens cameras: no depth perception. Think broom handle and kitchen cleaver...... 

[Ealdur Tinuviel]

lol. I thought it looked maybe a little short, but I figured it was a miniature probably.

Looking for something good to read? Then i suggest anything by-

Rayond E Feist

David Eddings

Jennifer Fallon

Terry Brooks

James Barclay

to name just a few...

 

I read way to many books. ;D

ughh i hate terry brooks

[Guest silver89]

ughh i hate terry brooks

 

Oh :o.. I agree that he isn't on the same playing field as RJ but few authors are. Terry might have some bad books but on the whole he more than makes up for that with his other books.

 

But to each his own.. I suppose. :)

Hmmm... Let me think of some good fantasy authors to add, seeing as I haven't been contributing to my own thread very much at all :-[

 

Terry Pratchett

Douglas Adams

Sara Douglass

Susan Cooper (Obviously)

Ursula K Le Guin

Kate Elliott

Ian Irvine

George R R Martin

Anne Rice

Wilbur Smith (Some of his works more so than others)

 

Also these guys aren't fantasy but there not half bad:

 

Michael Faber

Nick Hornby

Jodi Picoult

Keith Donohue

 

and if you're into more extreme, read quite disconcerting

& possibly scarring, literature of a graphic, gory, very dark satirical

nature then you might want to check out these two:

 

Bret Easton Ellis

Chuck Palahniuk

 

There's more floating around in my head somewhere but I can't recall them at the moment. Enjoy! ;D
