Lani, I read the first Dresden book after seeing the series on the Sci Fi Chanel on Foxtel here in Australia, after talking to Anestis about them. Well worth it! Once I have finished reading Ray's books (again, rereading in time for the last book to come out, but am up to SoaDQ, so I might have to slow down a bit!) I will be chasing up the other books.
Also, the TV shows of Terry's works just don't do them justice. They are a great read! Think of the Steven King movies and his books, and you are getting close to the comparison of screen to books.

WOW, Thanks so much for all of the reviews you guys.......... I was put onto Stephen Erikson, his 1st book was fab but the Deadhouse Gates im trying to get through its soooooooo dark. Too dark for my liking, he needs a Nakor type Character. At least Ray always had nice comic relief somewhere in his books and i dont think i can carry on with Stephen Erikson. My brother has also read all of Terry Pratchett but i watched a DVD of it and didnt really like it. I will however try this Jim Butcher though :=). (So much for me studying next year, i think i maybe reading for leisure instead) Lani ________________________________________ CC: [email protected] From: [email protected] Subject: Re: [OT] Other books/authors/series (Was Re: Magician's End Cover?)

Engaging characters, brilliant satire and a good laugh Michael Sent from my iPhone On 13/11/2012, at 7:04, "Scott Norris" <[email protected]> wrote: ----- Original Message ----- From: Anestis Kozakis To: feistfans-l Sent: Monday, November 12, 2012 2:35 PM Subject: [OT] Other books/authors/series (Was Re: Magician's End Cover?)

I was used to reading Anne Rice and of all things Stephen King till my brother got me hooked on Ray which i have to say is far superior reading. But the series and getting hooked on a line of characters who you never want to end is almost too much LOL. I will check out Memory of light though, who is the Author? Kind regards Lani I recommend Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files. The first book is "Storm Front", and it is a very engrossing and captivating series. Keeps my attention as much as as Ray's books do. The series is modern-day fantasy about a wizard who advertises in the phone-book and helps the police out on their "weird and unusual" cases. It's written in first person, but very well done. The 15th book in the series, Cold Days, is due to be released at the end of this month. Anestis. I concur, already have Cold Days pre ordered for my Kindle Fire, also try his Codex series it's a fine fantasy tale too Scott45 ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service.
