I have the version of Tigana that ds pictured and I have to say that I kind of like it too. I also have the versions of Fionavar with a similar cover. Kind of gives them an aged quality, almost as if they were taken from a tapesty.:D

Having not read the trilogy yet I can't contribute much, but I did find this on Kay's site: "In The Fionavar Tapestry, Kay started his career as a writer and as a fantasist by consciously working within the traditional boundaries, both in content and technique, of the branch of fantasy...

My wife threw our copy of Gone With The Wind across the room when she had finished it, yet I suspect that is still rank among her all time favorites (something she would never openly admit to :) )

Happy Birthday ds!!!! May all your presents by Kay! :D

Which book is buffalo again? :D So Kook, have you ready any Kay besides Fionavar and Tigana or are you slowly savoring it like I am?

Does that mean you're done with Fionavar? I kind of figured it wouldn't surpass your view of Lions of Al-Rassan. Didn't you say that was your favorite of his? Aren't you getting dangerously close to having read everything by the illustrious Kay? Depressing times, my friend.

Picked up a copy of the Lions of Al-Rassan the other day. Between that and my still unread copes of Fionavar, I should be in for a good Kay marathon soon.

Oh, the pressure! Hope you enjoy it Stewart.

Couldn't have said it better myself. :D

At Edmonton. I guess we'll see how improved they really are.

It finally feels like fall here too. Can't wait for Wednesday night!

Here's a few from A River Runs Through It by Norman Maclean In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing. We lived at the junction of great trout rivers in western Montana, and our father was a Presbyterian minister and a fly fisherman who tied his own flies and...

"Samuel rode lightly on top of a book and he balanced happily among ideas the way a man rides white rapids in a canoe. But Tom got into a book, crawled and groveled between the covers, tunneled like a mole among the thoughts, and came up with the book all over his face and hands." Steinbeck -...

I read that book for a lit class in college and felt much the same way. Even with annotations and a professor who was a Joyce expert I came away feeling baffled but also intrigued. It is still sitting on my shelf, tempting me and one of these days when, as you said, I can give it the time and...

The Faerie Queen by Edmund Spenser

Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake. This is the second of the three books and the further in I get, the more I appreciate them. They are definitely unlike anything I've read before, which is a good thing. Peake's use of language is absolutely amazing. I have to remind myself to slow down and just...
