What kind of sci-fi do you like, BN? I've delved a bit into some newer sci-fi recently in an attempt to help with my partner's sci fi epic I'm helping her write, and I've happened on some good stuff…
Ugh. I remember slogging through to book 4 of WoT, and I dropped it in frustration and complete boredom. I'd heard that's where it starts to pick up, but I couldn't take any more. I think Eddings is far more my speed.
I love David Eddings. The Belgariad is just a perfect series for my taste. You've got the ultimately powerful sorcerer in a farm boy who is just tagging along with his great aunt and grandfather. I love all the interactions between Aunt Pol, Silk, Wolf, Durnik, etc. They all take turns at making Belgarion into the person he's destined to be. I read this series every couple of years and I'm due.
Thanks for the reminder. I like the followup series too, but the Belgariad is king
