I believe he was an amazing storyteller who sucked at telling stories. LotR was a brilliant series--utterly brilliant--but oftentimes reading it felt like reading a history book. <br /><br />And I agree about simplicity.Shaun Hutchinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480241164653893038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8451768142116083239.post-6520382116735020062010-05-23T09:41:25.864-06:002010-05-23T09:41:25.864-06:00I love that you included some of your current infl...I love that you included some of your current influences - and reminded us that ionfluence DOES NOT have to comefrom those who are published!

When I was in undergrad, I came home on one of my breaks and read the last four books in twelve straight hours. There's another book in the series now, but I don't want to read it; it might spoil the other books for me.Sandra Ulbrich Almazanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365908651235829765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8451768142116083239.post-59481114374326734802010-05-21T10:31:10.524-06:002010-05-21T10:31:10.524-06:00Awesome list!

Thank you for the (undeserved?) kudos!<br /><br />I have most of the "Xanth" series by Piers Anthony, and I agree with you. In the beginning, the stories were awesome. But after awhile they just dragged on. There are some series an author has to kill off before the story kills itself off from Michelle H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10117937124348728578noreply@blogger.com
