I'd like to thank the person who recommended the Belgariad series by David Eddings last month. I decided to pick up the first book and was throughly entranced throughout all 5 volumes. Definitely the best read I've had in quite some time. I just loved the characters. They seemed so real and likeable. I strongly second the recommendation. D. Bartholomew

Bartholomew I would like to add an interesting observation about the series that no-one on the net has yet brought up(as far as I know). *All* the characters and *all* the races are *pure* *stereotypes*. The incredible thing is that Eddings was still able to make them "real and likeable" as Mr. Bartholomew says!
