About a year ago, I was expected an invitation to speak at a convention where he would be the guest of honor, so I planned to read his books, but when the invitation didn't come I skipped them.<BR/><BR/>Yesterday someone else recommended Martin to me, and now two recommendations in the comments here. Maybe I'd better give him a look, regardless of whether we ever speak at the same convention.Dr. Richard Scott Nokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348275071082514870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13713642.post-21461144711064675192007-09-18T08:43:00.000-05:002007-09-18T08:43:00.000-05:00Dr Nokes!

It serves me right that I just picked up book 11 as a post-orals celebration -- having read then entire series, except for the 10th book. <BR/><BR/>very sad indeed. Odd to have a figure whose books I've been reading for 10 years now pass on. I liked the complexity of the books too -- I think that's why they held my attention. They remind me a bit of George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, or maybe it's the reverse. But it really is a world you can immerse yourself in.Mary Kate Hurleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892991966276345782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13713642.post-2904295938801030372007-09-17T18:55:00.000-05:002007-09-17T18:55:00.000-05:00Richard,If you like complex (political and otherwi...Richard,<BR/>If you like complex (political and otherwise) I'd suggest Stephen Erickson's Malazan series, of which 7 or so are out.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10837999838469082203noreply@blogger.com
