Maybe so, but I'm betting you've seen more classic movies than he has.

That's about the lowest bar you could find for him to clear...  ::)

I don't know about movies, but my taste in fantasy lit is much better. I still break out in hives when he brings up Raymond Feist.  :idiot2:

I'll keep my Feist if you'll keep your Donaldson :P

Donaldson let me down hardcore with The Last Chronicles. I'm disillusioned now, like Hemmingway in 1920s Paris. It's sad, really.

You like Feist? There is hope for you!

That's a line I will not be crossing.

Forstchen might be a bridge too far for me... But I totally dig Turtledove.

Welcome to the mad house...I'm sure you'll find plenty of ways to get in trouble here... :)
"I must not fear.
    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."  - Frank Herbert

I liked Wizard's First Rule.  Didn't read any of the rest, but, there it is.  And Turtledove is really bad.

I actually only read his Misplaced Legion (or whatever) series decades ago, and rather liked it. Never read his alternate history stuff, but I understand it's well-respected.
