I had to quote that because I couldn't help but laugh... Making my family look at me oiddly...
Well... I spend all my time on a computer and praise Monty Python as a god, but thanks to this thread, it is even now more apparent that my tastes aren't really reliable... Or even sane...
Well disreguard this message/topic... I'll go find something better to do. Heh...
EDIT - Fixed n0t_r0bert_b0yle!! ^.^

To define any one's taste as 'normal' is one of the greatest fallacies you could possibly make. After all, everyone to his or her own.
Not that it matters, but I, and a fair number of the other forumites on these boards listen to Crystal Castles too.

Fixed! I personally love Crystal Castles, but everone that I show them to in the real world looks at me weird, then runs away...
Sorry if I offended you! Heh...

The rehashed and thinly veiled cliches made this series almost sad to read.
I saw the movie first, thinking that something with both Malkovich and Irons couldn't be that much of a turd, right? Ha. Hahaha. Ha ha. Wow, yeah.

Basically everyone agrees that Eragon is teh balls. So is it possible to turn this thread into a discussion on fantasy novels that aren't totally shit?
For example, right now I'm reading Before They Are Hanged which is the second book in Joe Abercrombie's The First Law trilogy. The first book being The Blade Itself released in '06 was more than well recieved for taking stereotypical archetypes and reworking them in interesting ways. Veteran barbarians from the North who're sick of fighting, pompus ex-soldier turned crippled tortuer and legendary wizards that are now regarded as little more than inconvenient annoyances. The first book blew me away with it's dark humor and detective noir sub-plot, two elements the second book is definitely lacking. Still enjoyable as the first, just not in the same aspect.
Anyone else have any?
