I am inspired by the recommendations here in this thread. I have looked them up and will definitely keep my eye out for the books!
My first encounter with fantasy genre, at least as far as I can recall is David Edding's Elenium series (I had skipped Belgariad ...!) But the first one that left the most impression till today was the Dragonlance Chronicles and Legends. Raistlin - the introduction to my world of an evil character that one can't help but to root for. I could prattle on and on about it but don't think I want to bore people this early
Am crunching through my first Warhammer 40k omnibuses. I got hold of them after remembering my friend waxing lyrical about Dan Abnett. And she is right! Fantastic stuff. Just skimmed through the Darkblade omnibus. Will probably read again after awhile as the action is too much to take on one shot.
Added on October 12, 2009, 11:27 pmToday I committed a crime to my wallet. I walked into Mid Valley ....... and came back with 2 books
It is all the fault of a book called Perdido Street Station by China Mieville. I ordered it at Times Bangsar and it didnt come. Well, I guess not my luck. Then a few outings to several bookstore different times and even idle searches turn out zilch. Onwards it stuck in my brain and I HAVE TO HAVE IT. It even infected my friend. Does anyone have this kind of experience before, or is it my cuckoo mind?
I walked into MPH and tada! It's there. Grab.
Walked into Borders to get to Starbucks (the other Sbks has pipe bocor) ......and walked past the Mark Charbourn's Age of Misrule Omnibus. Couldn't believe my eyes. I havent seen a Fantasy Omnibus for a long time, it's a title in my huntlist and it's a cheap RM 56.90 for 3-in-1. Dither a bit. should i or should i not. Borders say this is last copy. Grab.
So many books, so little resources....
Have anyone read the above 2 books? Hoped they are worth my money. Perdido's world building sounds very interesting.
