The Friday Five

[Jax]

Hah, you're the first person i've ever found that has read them other than... well, my mom who introduced me to them. I've read the first 5 (the Corwin ones) too many times to count, and the Merlin ones once.

Tis an awesome series! I've read it all the way through I think 4 times now, & turned my oldest son onto the books as well..yay for moms passing on the good book mojo!

And swords (the knight, queen and king of swords) was written by moorcock... Skelator (the band i'm in) are huge moorcock fans and have a few songs about Corum and such.

Ahh that explains it, I think of the Corum books as the Corum books & the Saberhagen series as the Swords books..damn authors writing about similar stuff *g*.

Who's your favorite incarnation of the Eternal Champion? I think Corum's mine, though I do have a fondness for Elric too.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

I've actually just gotten into the stuff from my bandmates, so Corum is my introduction... i'll definitely get back to you on that one though in a bit!

1. Shogun by James Clavell. It's truly a great book. I have a feeling it's going to be one of my favorites by the time I finish. I'm also reading Siddhartha by Herman Hesse.

2. Favorite book...hmmmm. That's pretty tough. After the First Death by Robert Cormier maybe. Sort of a young adult book but it's great. A Storm of Swords by George RR Martin too. Oh and 1984.

3. If I haven't read for a while then yes I might read it again.

4. I always keep my books. I love buying them.

5. I really couldn't tell you; they're all great. Lately I've been on a fantasy binge though.

 

[Phanto]

I'm just about to start Going Postal.

That's one of the best ones. Pratchett's latest (Making Money) is based on the same main character/theme as in Going Postal, so I can't wait until I can get my hands on it.
