David Eddings!!

I noticed that too. Redemtion of Althalus is by far my favourite book, and the Elenium is my favourite series. Didn't like the Tamuli as much, because the Elenium ended so well, and it just didn't feel the same. Same with the Belgariad and the Mallorian.

And who doesn't love Sparhawk?

I DO!! XD

Elenium remains my favorite. Sephrenia was an amazing character.

I liked and still like reading Eddings's fantasy books. The first books of his I read were the Belgariad and the Mallorean, and one that I really liked was <i>Belgarath the Sorcerer</i> (although that book about Polgara wasn't bad either). I also enjoyed reading the Elenium and the Tamuli. Many people I know hated <i>The Redemption of Althalus</i>, and even though it did get repetivive in terms of plots Eddings tends to use, I still liked it and its characterization and narration. Eddings and his wife have this nice style of writing, and I've enjoyed reading about the stuff they've written even though they tend to recycle certain themes and characters in their stories.

I like how Eddings can write in High Style and not get confused. I know -I- got confused reading it.

The only thing that bothered me was that everyone always shrugged their shoulders.

oh this is so true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the Belgariad(I've read it at least 5 times) and the Elenium but everyone does shrug their shoulders. Or every person that hears soemthing interesting their eyes narrow My favorite character out of all of his books is Sparhawk. He was such a down to earth guy.
