On the first day of class when I was a college freshman, a woman sat down next to me because she noticed I was reading QUEEN OF SORCERY, which she had just finished. We struck up a conversation and started a friendship. I later met her roommate, who eventually became my wife.
So David Eddings set me up.  |
Anthony has done good work. I recommend _Macroscope_, _Cthon_ and _Pthor_, _Prostho Plus_ and the Orn, Omnivore, 0X trilogy among others. He needs to be judged by more than Xanth.
And I'll recommend The Belgariad, too. I just can't recommend anything else of Eddings', because he only has one story and cast of characters.
