party go

Hi and welcome to fantasy!

Why don't we start off with introductions and favourite books and authors?

I am going to be disgustingly unoriginal and say I love the Discworld series to death. I also crush on Lieber's Lankhmar stories pretty hard.

I looooooove The Lord of the Rings, faults and all. :D I got an illustrated hardcover edition for my birthday a couple of years ago (and The Hobbit too!) and it's so exciting reading it in non-tiny print and with the purdies.

Isn't LeGuin a lady? ;)

:D

and, well, she's the *only* lady in that list. Which is weird, since I like to think I read a lot of woemn authors! *adds Ellen Kushner for good measure*

I've only read a short story of Kushner's (last night, actually), and it disappointed me! At least I already knew I wouldn't enjoy her novels, I guess?

I wouldn't know about her short stories, so sadly I can't tell you how the novels compare. I did enjoy the Riverside novels immensely, though; Swordspoint is a particular favourite.
