Poor Piers Anthony. I remember when he was a pretty big deal, a prolific author, and well-respected.

But as I wrote before, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't enjoy re-visiting his books that read when I was young, and after I set up this thread, and googled a little ... yeah, pretty positive on that one.

PA hasn't aged well with me at all, not even the magic fart.

If, as each author was dropped from this list, I was to prune the contents of my bookshelves accordingly they'd be looking pretty bare by now...

For me, being a twin, I thought it was awesome to see that two of the main characters were also twins. Revisiting it as an adult made some of the flaws all the more glaring, but it was still a nostalgic treat.

Yeah, I'd be super-excited to see a big adaptation happen.

When DL came out I loved it. Sure I was like 12 but finding a real D&D novel at B. Dalton was a moment of nirvana. Then when the Time of the Twins series came out I devoured them rabidly. I read the final novel in that series the day I bought it. Picked up some of the short story collections after that but never got into the later trilogies, and when I went back and re-read them as an adult found them to be kind of weak but not to the Piers Anthony level mind you. Would love to see a big budget movie adaption, or a well done TV series though.

Heh! As a kid, Caramon was my favorite. But as an adult, I realized I found Tasslehoff of all of them to be the one I liked the most. Mostly because he didn't spend any time brooding or whinging.

EXACTLY! The inordinate attention that W&H gave him really turned me off to the whole world of Krynn. Of course, it didn't help that the characters I actually did take a liking to died: Sturm, dead. Flint, dead. I never wanted to say it, but I loved Tika (though that was probably mostly due to Elmore rather than W&H's writing). Had I said it openly she might have died!
