Castenada's fiction? ;)

And if you don't read the books, Es, I'll kick 'em before Luce takes 'em. You might want to give Bakker a shot, too.

Erikson's 'Malazan' series is good, Esmer. So is George R.R. Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series. Read what you want, and don't worry about Luci.

cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

Victory! And time to lock the topic, I think.

Thank you, Jay, and thanks all for participating in the poll. See you in the forum.
