When I posted my Gencon review there was a LOT of traffic on the boards. I get the impression it was only on the front page for a few minutes before getting slowly bumped back. Maybe I should give it a bump. Or would that be poor forum ettiquette? George R. R. Martin is a great writer. His characters are just brilliant. They are very believable, very human. I will say Song of Ice and Fire is going on a bit long. But it's still good, even if the plot has gone and wandered off into soap. I just hope Mr. Martin doesn't do a Robert Jordan before finishing it. I'd like to bring up Wildcards here, just to remind people how good his stuff can be. He didn't write much of it of course, there were many contributors but his and Melinda Snodgrass's contributions stick strongly in my mind as the best bits. Must re-read the series. Can folks tell me what it is that they like about Steven Erikson? I've had a couple of friends rave about the Malazan stuff. But I just can't get into it. I don't know Elaine Cunningham or Richard KNack. What have they written? EDIT: oh yes, I like Robin Hobb. Have only read the Live Ship ones but they were very good.And Jennifer Fallon. Love the Hythrun Chronicles.</blockquote>
