Why do you keep reading??

Still, welcome to the Chronicles, JagLover!

Thank you

I read the Belgariad, the Malloreon, the Belgarath and Polgara books and the Rivan Codex. I enjoyed reading them all. I do not do plot analysis per se, just if I enjoy a book or do not enjoy it. I take what the author wrote and accept it as his or her work and try with all my might not to judge it by my own standards (the only way one can judge anything) because I would be judging using my opinion which is really only mine and certainly does not need to be forced on anyone else. I enjoyed Edding's writing style (Which was David and which was Leigh I have no idea and could care less so I will refer to both of them as "Eddings" in the collective sense) and found it very entertaining and quite humorous. I have read all of the books twice and will probably some day read them again. They are a pleasure to read and very relaxing after a long day. I must say that I tried to read some of their other series but I could never warm up to them. In that sense I would have to agree with Harleyquin, the same thing only different. Not that it's bad to do that; just that I couldn't finish the books. So I just put them down and didn't buy the rest of them. A simple solution. David and Leigh Eddings gave me a great time with those two sets of novels and I am thankful to them for that.

I find the books easy to read. I've read Tolkien, and the Ghormengast series by Mervyn Peake, as well as others who's writing style takes a lot to get in to, but I always seem to come back to Eddings.

He writes in a style similar to Steinbeck - simple to read and easy to understand, but as you read it more, you tend to find things that you missed or overlooked the other times.

Because they're good books. 'nuff said.
