| Looking for some books to read, tired of Salvatore. Unfamiliar with some of the better FR writers out there so I want to get a feel for what everyone likes. |

Well, I have returned from a short exile ( ok I got lost in these massive rows of scrolls and books ok? ) and decided to grace this scroll with my five faves...
1 Daughter of the Drow
2 Tangled webs
3 Realms of Magic
4 Realms of Mystery
5 Realms of the Arcane
Note: I would think that the Realms of... Series might not classify as a full novel or realms books because they are collections of short stories but These deserve mention because of 1 Wiglaf Evertongue stories by Tom Dupree, 2 The Teritus Wands stories by Jeff Grubb ( the author who got me back into books a few years back with his 'The Brother's War'), and 3 the Additional Liriel Baenre story 'The Direct Approach'- TOO FUNNY! |
It has to be Certain, the Gods Hate Me. For whatever irrevokable Fate, I have been made the walking Joke. Either that, or Beshaba is overlyfond Of Me.

An interesting question, and also, a very difficult one to answer, as I have many favorites.
However -
1 - Shadow's Witness
2 - Elfshadow
3 - Elminster: The Making of a Mage
4 - Evermeet: Island of Elves
5 - Spellfire

I've been trying to find the second book of the Magehound trilogy for ages now. Why does every bookstore have the first and third, but not the second?
I can't decide on just five, so I won't bother except to say that you should read The Crucible (and the prequel, the name of which I've forgotten). |

Wow...someone apparently has issues with Salvatore...sorry to hear that....ah well...
Excluding Master Salvatore (Homeland would be at the top of the list...), mine goes...
1) Evermeet: Island of Elves
2) Crucible
3) Prince of Lies
4) The Sorceror
5) Silver Shadows |
My latest Realms-based short story, about a bard, a paladin of Lathander and the letter of the law, Debts Repaid. It takes place before the "shattering" and gives the bard Arion a last gasp before he plunges into the present.http://candlekeep.com/campaign/logs/log-debts.htm |

*lol* I almost did the samething.My dark elf friend you didn't read
the fine print. Excluding anything done by Salvatore. |
Courage isn't the lack of fear but rather believing in and doing what you know is right even though fear is present.
