| Re: Why do you keep reading??
They bring back good memories and have some very memorable characters. I stopped after the Tamuli and Elenium but have a soft spot for Belgariad and Mallorean.
And the big plus is that these books are easy to read. There's a quest, some romance, eccentric characters. All the things fantasy is 'expected' to have and therefore make a good place to start in the genre. I've managed to get several friends reading fantasy by lending them these to start with.
And on those days when you're just too tired to do anything .... these books and a cuppa chai work like a charm. They are familiar and comfortable. |
