Ribh's D'Coopage

[BY Bob]

I will have to look him up! I love Tolkien, my brother who is gone now bought me a boxed set of The Hobbit & The Lord of the rings when I was 15 or so! I devoured them so did my oldest son and daughter...they completely wore them out! I haven't read anything from David Eddings in a long time! I will also look up The Two Pearls of Wisdom! If you like dragons...I do...I want one for a pet......you might like The Dragon Riders of Pern...I think they are a fun read! Thank you for the suggestions!

Anne McCaffrey is another of my favorites. I think @Ribh might like Marion Zimmer Bradley, the Mists of Avalon.

I love the Pern books & had read most of them before I realised that technically McCaffrey was a SciFi writer. Ah well...

That happens as you read them. I too was surprised.

Howdy Y'all! Life is crazy right now, but all is well. I'll be around more again soon. Enjoy a few pictures from today!

Scooby, scooby, where are you? Beautiful sunset.

What are your favorite Fantasy books, writers?

Do you know Garth Nix @ all? His Sabriel is fantastic! Alan Garner ~ though technically a children's writer ~has done the best retelling of the myth of Bloduewedd ever. He's like Tolkien, not stylistically, but in the depth of his knowledge & understanding of mythos.

Read that in Arthur's own country!

Sorry I left the room earlier, but I heard my chickens by my window.(They finally came out to play; and play, they did) What a wonderful time I have, just being with them all! Now, they are in the castle for the night.

Have you tried Helen Hollick. She did an Arthurian triology. She did a lot of research & I enjoyed them. Just don't mention Stephen Lawhead to me. He should never have been allowed to publish such drivel!!!!

Seems Jaffar wasn't sneezing as much this evening, thank God, and BLU gets a bath tomorrow.

I will be hunting Easter eggs first thing in the morning. (They changed their nests to somewhere else) It's only two acres to search!

I believe I have read them all. Excellent books!

Agreed! I think there are 35!
