Hey gang. Just joined the list. I have been reading Moorcock for over a decade now and frankly it has changed my life. I never used to say "Just so." Now I say...
... It's an almost unbelievably quiet list. :-) I'm new here too, but I don't think there's anyone else here. ... Dancers at the End of Time and Nomad of the...
HI, I'm here too, but haven't got alot to say. I've been more of a Moorcock fan for his work with Hawkwind. I like almost all I have read. Elric saga is my...
HaHa! No one expects the Spanish Inquisition! We were here all along. Our chief weapon is surprise and ruthless efficiency. Well, perhaps our two chief...
Actually Moorcock is the only science fiction/fantasy writer I read. My reading is more history and Russian literature. I also have also a passion for Eco and...
Ok, let's try to liven things up. We tried this once before and it didn't go off so well, but I'm willing to give it another try. Let's choose a Moorcock book...
I've changed my mind already. Instead of taking suggestions, let's start with something I know everyone will be able to read, because it's available FREE...
... Have you tried others and just not liked them? Al __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sign up for SBC Yahoo! Dial - First...
Al, Yeah I tried a few others including L. Ron Hubbard, Piers Anthony, Bradberry, Assimov, Weiss and Hickman and thier talentless comrades at Dragonlance,...
Great idea, Only problem for me is I'd have to mail order a copy of what the choice is. I have most of the Eternal Champion collection released in the USA,...
... You've been reading the wrong people! ... The vast majority of SF and fantasy is indeed poorly written crap. But there's gold among the dross. Have you...
... Eco is great. Have you read any of Italo Calvino's stuff? If you like Eco you might like him as well. And if you like Eco and Moorcock, you probably like ...
... Wow, I think I'd have to disagree with you there. Most modern fantasy seems like retreads of Tolkien with the ocasional Howard or Lieber rip off for a...
... You've clearly been reading the wrong fantasy authors! I'm not talking about crap like Jordan or Brooks or the other EFP authors. Have you read Powers or...
Another contemporary fantasy writer worth checking out is Jeff VanderMeer. I particularly liked his _The Bone Carver's Tale_, which you can find at ...
... Read a little Blaylock. One fantasy and one SF. They were ok, but fell a little short. Haven't read Mieville, but from what I've read ABOUT his work it...
Hey gang. Well maybe I am reading the wrong thing. Tolkien has a very good plot but I find him to be an antiquated and dull writer. While I'm glad people are...
Ok, I just read it. I haven't read any of his other stuff so I can't comment on VanderMeer's work in general, but I wouldn't call this story a fantasy. It's...
... He writes in a number of different styles. ... It's SF/fantasy/steampunk/horror. More fantasy than SF, though. And very very good. ... Which book? ... ...
... I got the impression that he'd written 90 per cent of the book, then died, and the book was then finished by someone who had no idea what it was about, and...
... I have a deep and abiding hatred of Tolkien and all things Tolkienesque. I agree with Moorcock's view that Tolkien is essentially infantile. ... Yes,...
... I don't have a problem with your definition, but I don't see how this story fits it. I'm no expert on the Khmer Empire, but this just seems to be a story...
... The thing about Tolkien is that once youve read him you can skip Jordon, Brooks, Donaldson and any number of other hacks. I wouldn't call Tolkien...
... Even better is to skip Tolkien as well. ... I have a problem with an over-simplified and nice neat tidy black-and-white view of good vs evil, which is what...
Moorcock discusses his distaste for Tolkien at great length, and very amusingly, in his excellent book on fantasy literature, _Wizardry and Wild Romance_. A ...
... But you like Moorcock? It seems to me that a very large part of Moorcock's agenda in his fantasy writing was to move it away from that world of rather...
