There's a cheesy made for TV version called 'Legend of the Seeker' on ABC or CBS usually on pretty late. It's amusing if you're into that series. But yeah, Sword in the Stone is awesome. |

I read most of those, I think I missed the last one, I don't care to catch a cheesy show based off of it if it will ruin how I remember the books haha... just got into reading the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan and I can see myself plowing through those books... but yeah The Sword In The Stone is a great movie, I remember it clearly even though I probably haven't seen it in 15+ years |

| _____________________________________ [Nov 10,2008 11:30am - arilliusbm ""] I've actually been meaning to get more into the Sword of Truth series. I have the first one I believe and didn't get into it yet. I was thinking about checking out some of the Dragonlance books but I'm not sure yet. |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 10,2008 12:13pm - AndrewBastard ""] Most of the Dragonlance and Forgotten Realmz series are garbage... The Twins and Icewind Dale series are okay though... Get into George RR Martin if you're looking for something to read. A Song of Ice and Fire is probably in my top 3 fantasy series ever. |

If it's by Weis and Hickman, you're pretty safe - but they've done a few stinkers, and a couple of other authors have added some good stuff. (Jim, I have these if you're interested.) For FR: Early R. A. Salvatore is ok if you like reading a lot of descriptions of swordplay with brief outbreaks of plot. The Icewind Dale trilogy and the Dark Elf trilogy are good. Later on it gets pretty hacky. Anything Ed Greenwood has done is good in my book. Spellfire in particular. Besides that, it's a pretty mixed bag. I might have to put the Black Cauldron over Sword in the Stone, although it's a near thing. |

While we're on the subject, I have an amazing PDF file of the entire Wheel of Time series, with extra commentary and every chapter of every book tiered and bookmarked, with maps, glossary and all. I found it as a torrent but it only comes out to 25 MB if anyone wants it. Makes for great reading at work while everyone thinks I'm working. |
