He might be; the books are certainly popular enough with non-gaming audiences. I can't find a site with actual sales figures (as oppossed to the weightings given to the numbers by the NYTreview), but they are in the millions. There are not 'millions' of gamers; there are, maybe, about a million or so totalled (from what I remember about the WOTC estimates; if it's wrong, show me the numbers. I cannot remember off the top of my head). So it's not just gamers reading these books and making them appear on the bestseller lists.nikolai said:Will Drizzt books be next to their's on S&S must-read lists in 10-20 years time.
I remember seeing something that in a hundred years time, everyone who's won a nobel or pulitzer for literature will be forgotten but Stephen King and Barbara Taylor Bradford will probably still be read all over the world.
I would not call it a classic yet, but in twenty or thirty years time, maybe. A classic author or work endures.
