I did too... about 20-something years ago.

I enjoyed Eddings as well. It's been a while, but I couldn't put them down back then.

"Camber of Culdi series by Katherine Kurtz" was fun and had a somewhat new twist to it with all the religioucity.

The Sword of Shanara series was good as well.

I found the Dragonriders of Pern series too pessimistic for some reason. I couldn't put a finger on it, but always came away from the books with a somber attitude.


I had forgotten many of these. It's been a long time since I read much fiction, except for a couple of G. A. Henty books with the family. Thanks for the ride down memory lane. Hmmm, I didn't know I was old enough for a memory lane...
