[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7251441, member: 20564"] I finished up YOU - I'm still not sure it had a plot. Or rather, it was a travelogue of a person's life, with a B plot about excising a cursed sword from a new game. But the sword plot in some ways felt more just something to hang the journey on. Enjoyable and I'll re-read it in a few years, but unusually put together in a way I don't think may would carry off well, and even here where I liked it, it was somewhat of a detractor. I'm stuck in a rut. I'm reading the second Wild Car book, and I'm just not into it but don't want to abandon it. I've got a new-to-me GGK (River of Stars) waiting but I haven't been in the mood to dive in and give it the attention it should get so I've been holding off. Think that I'm fighting off a cold, maybe that's part of it. So a topical question for the masses: what's the first fantasy story you ever read? (Or optionally, what's the story that got you into fantasy?) I was into SF, and in 4th (?) grade a friend lent me "A Wizard of Earthsea" by Ursula K. LeGuin. I devoured it and that started my lifelong love of fantasy fiction. And there are still echos of that book in the homebrew settings I run when DMing. [/QUOTE]
