@ Bel: is
your name a derivitive from the Belgariad or something else?
Ayup, it sure is. I used to raise wolf cross
breeds and I'm a crotchety old man. Some of my friends seem to think the name fits me. I had to read the books to
figure out why and was never sure whether to be amused or offended.:cheers:

Be honored Belgarath is one of
my favorite characters. He is powerful without feeling like he has to constantly exert it. He has a great
personality, and is just all around fun. Eddings is a great writer, the only place his writing lacks is in his fight
scenes, they tend to be very cut and dry. He should write a book with R.A. Salvadore, it would be one of the most
amazing things to come off of the presses.
Anyways sorry for getting off topic.

We could split this out to open
discussion but I'll just ad that the 'writer' is actually David and his wife Leah. That would explain a lot about
his fight scenes.
To avoid dragging this topic down by off toppic discussion I'll mention that you can imagine
how I come across to others if that is how my friends see me. Can you see why I need to add humor to my public image
to improve relations?

LOL! I would rather have the
personality and personal magnetisim of Belgarath than be any other man alive today.

I don't know if that's such a
great thing. It can intimidate people, if my friends are correct. But I do like the character. Sparhawk in their
other series is also a fun one.

The only Books of his I don't
really enjoy are the recent ones. I also like the book Redemtion of Athalus.
Eddings makes some great
characters, that you can really know and identify with.

The books of theirs I read are
all the Belgarion and Blue Rose books, Althalus, Polgara and Belgareth. I haven't had a lot of time for reading
since then, at least not that type of reading. Too much work and not time enough to yawn properly.
