philip pullman's "his dark materials" trilogy, although the third one was a bit of a cop out, if you ask me.

Thanks. I'll have to keep an eye out.
I love Lewis. Disagree about the Potter -
eh, 'tis nothing great, but it was palatable
for me. Better than most of the modern
fantasy that I've seen (modern being relative,
probably meaning 1980's crap).

try guy gavriel kay (although his first trilogy was the best, by far, he's still pretty fab, in my book); sheri s. tepper (fantasy with a brain); michael marshall smith (the first books, not the michael marshall stuff, which isn't fantasy); clive barker (i think you'd like him - nasty stuff); charles de lint; julian may's earlier stuff (she obviously got bored); jeff noon.

that's off the top of my head, though.  i'm less into the SF hardware stuff like asimov, so can't talk much about that.

I'm familiar with Barker.
Kinda so-so about him.

Julian May wrote the Pleistocene novels,
didn't she?

yeah, which i thought were great, especially name spotting the celtic mythology stuff.  the second series (the prequels) were also really good, and then she obviously got fed up, and rushed the last lot, cos they didn't end properly, they just sort of stopped.

I have just read the first of that trilogy. I read them before but then I forgot. The first one is good.

Callaway, I had guessed that would happen after hearing that a few main characters die. Don't want to know more though - am taking it slow and have only read up to the wedding part.

I had completely forgotten about that thread. I feel bad now for belittling Robert, towards the end of page seven, but you gotta admit, it was very funny with Tom's :asthing:  and subsequent pwnage. He handled me,  but ever so delicately, which made it even funnier.

Yes, I remember.  It was this post, but I did not read it as being belittling to RobertN:

http://www.intensitysquared.com/index.php?topic=1956.msg79195#msg79195

It was right after I read this post that I removed the picture from my OP that RobertN found objectionable.

He needed to know the truth and I was not going to back down from that, but he did not need me to keep slapping him in the face with that picture.
