TC - hate the writing, love the world. I just put my fingers in my ears and go lalala can't hear you when he starts with the clenching.

I read the Belgariad at about 11 with bad chicken pox and I think it's perfect low involvement stuff for when you are sick, even if he doesn't appear to have a clue how male and female interaction works. The Mallorean was more tedious. I have never bothered with his other series after a quick investigation revealed they were the same book. The raspberry goes to Redemption of Athalus which he clearly wrote in his sleep.

I love Julian May - I like the Saga of the Exiles but actually prefer the prequels (in the character's lives if not in time).
