It’s an open based response so rate it how you wish two thumbs up,5 out of 5 stars or just Hay! its a cool book...whatever you wish.... and I hope you like my selection.
{A} REALMS OF MAGIC This is a wonderfully done collection of short stories in one book by many talented writers. Two of them stand out for me they are called the Magic Thief by Mark Anthony and Gunne Runner by Roger E. More Being someone who enjoys playing a Multi-Class Wizard/Cleric its no surprise that I liked these two. Without giving the story away they both capture the deep inner feel of what Wizards go through in their lives. The comfort level of their surroundings and deep need for companionship, security and the magic that they depend on. The writers in both did an excellent job of mystery and tension when creating their backgrounds ....A must have book for Magical adventurers
{B} REALMS #2 This book was written by Ed Greenwood and is another grouping of fun short stories. I’m still reading this but one the stories that pop out is called Bloodbound. You get the inside look at a slave of a Redwizard named Tace and her daily struggle to survive. Tace is a young girl who uses her wits and pleasing eye of her slave master to deal with the many dangers of a slave in Thay.
{C} ELMINSTERS DAUGHTER I’m almost done reading this yet I must say its one of Mr. Greenwood better written books. The background on the main and minor characters really come to life and the fast pace of the books compliments the over all story. I would say more but have yet to finish...
{D} CLERIC QUINTET {Collector’s Edition} Written by R.A Salvatore I think that one reason I liked this grand behemoth of more than 1000pages was that my Characters that I create often struggle with the spiritual aspects of their lives. For example Agudo is a Multi Class Cleric/Wizard with his flamboyant looks that says Mage all over to the point of gaudiness. Yet his manners are that of a well educated loving healer of the Priesthood who must respond to people and things that reflect his faith. Quintet has some what the same struggles. For as a Cleric who is not a Wizard yet Quintet sees things in a logical manner and must struggle with his faith of the heart and mind. Many wonderful characters that come to life such as a Lady Monk and Druid Dwarf that add spice to Quintet life. I think a must read for many who enjoy epic struggles.
{E} CRUSADE {Empire trilogy #3} For me the mixing of Forgotten Realm Lore and our real world creates wonderful stories. This is a good example of such a mixing. The Realm Cormyr is far from the dangers of the approaching Tuigan Horse warriors and yet King Azoun sees something bigger at hand. It reminds me of many points in history some around the Roman area and even the Modern times that we live like Iraq and Afghanistan In this book those for the Azoun Crusade and those against can in many ways be seen to be right for such conflicting beliefs. Brings to life many quandaries we must deal with in life and the consequences that they bring A good book for a history lover
From the Book Halfling Sayings by Agudo
A Lion Tamer once said, if ya need an illusionist for thy circus then call a Gnome But if thy circus needs a clown send in the Halflings
Chapter 5-The town of Gullykin on the Sword Coast By Lady Silvin Lionheart, speaking to Agudo in the year of the Comical Halfling

If you take a look through the archives here in the Novel section, you'll noticed that there are already several different scrolls open that focus exclusively on determining and discussing our favorite Realms novels -- and even a number that talk about our favorite authors too!
I would suggest you continue this discussion (and by that, I mean repost this initial post) in those scrolls, rather than opening a new one here. So in the interests of keeping the shelves all neat and tidy, I'm closing this scroll for now .
Books and more books and what do you read?
