Poll Question:
Subject-title should say it all.

There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

I have not read a single one of those. 
I have to do some catching up again, it seems... |

"People will believe anything they want to believe, or fear to believe."
Wizard's First Rule: Chapter 36, Page #397, US Hard Cover (revealed by Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander).
Explanation by Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: "People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. Peoples heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool."

| Of the choices presented, I have only read two of them. Unclean and gossamer plain. of those 2 I enjoyed unclean a bit more, but both were great IMO. |

| I picked Depths of Madness. |

I got your vote alongside ELAINE? Jeez! Talk about grossly flattering--serious blushitude.
Aw, thanks guys, that makes my whole day.

| The only book of these I read was Depths of Madness, and it was godawful. It is one of only 3 books in my life that I could not finish. The characters were so unsympathetic I wanted them to die horribly. |

| I just didn't like any of the "heroes" at all. They were completely self-absorbed. And slightly cliched. |

| I have to disagree. I very much enjoyed Depths and voted for it as the clear winner IMHO. I like Twilight (coolest name going). I liked the elf cleric and the introduction of the warlock and goliath to the Realms |
When hinges creak in doorless chambers and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls, whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight. |
