Embarrassing fantasy reading confessions

oh, plus all of Hugo Cooks novels, but they were fucking great, grimier then Staven Erickson and with real sly humour and mental plotting

Legend, I've only ever seen one other person who's read those books they were the best :D

I used to have a cheesy 80's fantasy novel with plenty of cheesy sex scenes that wound its way into my "special" collection... :hmm:
 
No, it's the ultimate in bourgeois post-colonial tourism and as such indicates a profound emptiness in one's existential self-conception if you think it's in any way cool.




:p

I met a lot of people like that over there tbh. I'm not one of them though.
 
Oh dear. I read loads of Anne McCaffrey's stuff. Dragonriders stuff, the Ship Who Sang series, and the Talents stuff.

It's bilge, absolute bilge :(

Also, for the record, Anne, "Daffyd op Owen" is not a real Welsh name. Do some research.
Her newer stuff got worse and worse and worse. I too blame my reading of trash fantasy crap on my dear old mum. I offer Mercedes Lackey, who varies from shite to not-quite-worth-setting-fire-to.
 
I read The Hobit when I was about 11yrs.

Also read a few of a series about a family of witches in New Orleans by an author whose name I've forgotten. :o
 
Shadows of Empire, set between Strikes Back and Return, is fucking ace


I also have the misfortune to own a stargate novel:o
 
In my defence :rolleyes:my ex-partner used to hog the TV with Corrie, eastenders, celebrity, big brother and various talent shows so I used to read alot. We're not together anymore and I seem to read a better class of book altogether. Still - a very dark period that was :D:D:D strong in the force I now am blahdy bladhy blah :)
 
I've read them too. I demand back the time i wasted reading them.
Please someone explain why i read more than one of them? :confused:
I'm confused.
Did she soak the pages in heroin or something?

they're weirdly compelling, same as the vampire ones. Why I've read nearly everything Rice has written* in her awful purply prose is a mystery.



*barring her erotica stuff. I have some self respect:hmm:
 
yah, but contains the bit where Luke makes his own lightsaber by following some Jedi manual. Epic win

Congratulations on choosing the Toshiba Scimitar 3000i Light Saber. By carefully following the enclosed instructions you too can enjoy years of guaranteed laser sword use.
 
having just looked at an unwise charity shop purchase from yesterday (Lords of Necron:o) an idea for a law occured to me.

it works thus: if the fantasy book has a title that could be a heavy metal band name it will be shit
