HAHA yeah, I think that's right, lol.

I to haven't read Hitchiker's Guid to the Galaxy :sigh: one of the MANY books I still have to read. I still have to finish reading the Sword of Truth Series, if you've ever heard of that. It's by Terry Goodkind, as is fantasy, and it's oh so incredibly good.

And your icon made me smile.

Oh yes! There are definately too many books I still have to/want to read, but I'm so slow...

Well, I've heard the name of the series, but not much more. The only fantasy books I've read are the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan and three of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels (need more!)

It has that effect ^_^

oOoOo I've heard good things about those series as well. And I've had like 5 ppl tell me I need to read the Wheel of Time series. I SERIOUSLY need to get my hands on a copy.

Plus why do fantasy novels have to be so damn loooooong it drives me insane sometimes.....

[penombrelilas.livejournal.com]

If you don't like loooong things, Wheel of Time probably isn't for you. xD I loved the first six books. The ninth was super lame, but the eleventh kicked ass again, although it was way too short. And the author died before he could finish the last book, so I wanna know how well his wife and another author can wrap things up.

I haven't read them in so long that I can't say anymore whether they are a must-read, but back in the day I was an avid fan and knew the whole universe like the back of my hand. Oh, fun times xD

I think fantasy are so long, because the author wants you to get a feel for the world/creatures/whatever and because they've (better) spent so much time thinking it up, they want to give you every aspect of it... Although this is only speculation, I'm no fantasy author xD

haha well I can deal with long books in fact I've gotten used to them. To the point where 500 pages has been an average read for me. But thanks for letting me know about the series and my friend's have told me that they're trying to finish the story through the original authors notes or something like that? And even though I haven't read the series yet, I'm interested to see how it turns out.

I agree, I think the whole key to fantasy is the world that it's in. Sometimes they are so long because they want to value every single detail in the universe to a T. Plus a lot of times with fantasy there is epic battles, so that usually takes up a big hunk of text too.

[penombrelilas.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they range from 500-1000 pages per book.
That's what I heard too. (Are your friends part of a WoT forum, too? xD) I guess his wife (who was also his editor) must know what he wanted to achieve. I'm just looking forward to knowing how long exactly this book is going to be. RJ himself always said he would only write this one last book, even if you had to wheel it out of the store.

Indeed, they have these epicly long descriptions of surroundings, nature and everything and what does it matter if there are two or three birds chirping? Ooh, epic battles! At least we don't have to read about those in Geass, heh.
