Subject: RE: BS: Other fantasy writers
The "Vlat Taltos" series by Steven Brust are great. I just finished the most recent one yesterday, when I should have been wrapping Christmas presents.
I recently read Glen Cook's entire "Black Company" series in one long orgy.
The Amber books by Zelazny bog down in their own complexities after a while - just like Jordan's books - but the first two are classics to me.
And I suppose most of you are to young to be familiar with Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser...
I can get satiated with Tolkien knock-offs fairly quickly, but there's a great deal more good stuff in the gray area between sci-fi and fantasy.
Peter.
