I'll just have to wait another month, cause I'm not gonna begin reading another book while I have to learn exams  .
It's hard not to start reading, since I have the book on pole position on my book shelf

| | | I personally am a very big Ed Greenwood fan. I have read every FR and DL book out there to date. I love Eliminister and the fact that he is always getting his ass whipped and others have to help him out. He learns, he lives and he learns so more. He is an uber power character but he doesn't win all his fights. He loses a great deal of them as well.

| | I like that Elminster book myself. I read a lot of the FR and DL novels. The original DL trilogy is what really got me interested in reading. Definately recommend Making of a Mage though. Great story.

| | | Yeah Elminster series is realy good (I'm still looking for fifth book - Emlinster's Daughter), but right now I'm waiting for final chapter of War of the Spider Queen novels. Can't wait to see how that story will end. One of possible ending will have great repercusions on entire FR campaing setting so I presume they will not choose that but Salvatore and people at WotC might have a suprise in store for all the fans.
PS. My favorite drow character is Liriel Baenre - she is much more fun than Drizzt and she doesn't go on endless discusion on how the world hate him because he is a drow - she is a drow, she want to be a drow, and everybody else is going to accept her as a drow or they could go to hell. Besides claiming you are Sylune, Witch of Shadowdale 15+ years after her death to people who knew Sylune while she was alive takes courage (granted she didn't know Sylune is dead but still...). |

| | | I also like the two Baldur's Gate books writen by Philip Athans, I didn't much like that Crap-yshy guy who did the last one, the book was 'good' but the plot and pacing sucked some serious -bleep-

| | | Robin Hobb is an author, but she doesn't write anything about the FR.
Elminster is a mage in the Forgotten Realms. One of the most powerfull mages around even.

| | | This is responding to something a little further back, but Drizzt isn't the main character in all of these books listed with him. Wulfgar is in the already mentioned book above, and one of the Path of Darkness books has Drizzt in it, but the majority of it revolves around his nemesis, Artemis Entreri. I think it's either The Silent Blade or Servant of the Shard.

| | Thanks, Ripe. I haven't read them in a while and I don't have them with me to double check. Appreciate it!
