He's still not a match for Tolkien, he didnt actually creat the world in Forgotten Realms, that was Ed Greenwood.  |

I know, but I've read reviews for Ed Greenwood's books and apparently many people hate his novels.
I'm going for some Elaine Cunningham next. I prefer him to Tolkien. Yeah yeah, so stab me with your puny little short sword, I'll hack you down with Twinkle and Icingdeath, Frodo! |

Recently finished reading Nabokov's "Lolita", it did not disgust me as much as I had expected and, despite being unable to actually explain anyone the idea, I believe I've got it (which seems to be a case with 50% of the literature I read). "Oblomov" is next for me.

I've not got to section about Twinkle yet, but Icingdeath is named after a dragon. I wouldn't call them magical, per se (well, Icingdeath is, I don't about Twinkle yet). Actually, Drizzt could probably beat up a dude/dudette with a normal scimitar (he wields two scimitars usually), especially someone with a weapon called Bloodrune. Oh and he never invokes his weapons, he just uses them, he doesn't need to go around saying "feel the wrath of Twinkle!", he just gets on with it. Edited by Geck0 - January 03 2007 at 15:57 |
