Today’s discussion questions are…
-
What are your favorite fantasy series, if any?
-
What are your favorite sci-fi series, if any?
-
What are your favorite horror/weird fiction series, if any?
-
Are you doing a re-read of any other books you’ve read before recently?
My answers:
A Song of Ice and Fire by George Martin
Sci-fi series would be: none
Horror fiction would be The Terror by Dan Simmons.
And I’m currently doing a re-read of A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin in case anyone wants to join me.
Bonus question:
What is your favorite fantasy character or list of fantasy characters?
Mine are Stannis Baratheon, Davos Seaworth, Robert Baratheon, and Maester Pylos.
Also, shameless plug-in for a Discord server that me, BayArea415, and some good friends created:
Enjoy!
Should I read R.A. Salvatore’s work?
I’ve yet to read The Clerical Quintet, but the Legend of Drizzt is a rather fun series. It’s a bit heavy on the swordplay, but it’s got fun characters going on fun adventures. It does veer into more serious territory at times, especially in the

Legacy of the Drow series and the Silent Blade
For books written in the 90’s, they have very little questionable material. There is a bit of uncomfortable stereotyping in The Halfling’s Gem, but Bob gets better with writing different kinds of people in the later books. If you buy the paperbacks, they’re the perfect size to tuck in a coat pocket for a quick read here and there.
8.5/10 series, would strongly recommend.
Nice. Sounds good to me.
