Not to go off-topic, but Stoker, are you a CS Lewis fan? --mothspiral, who likes Diane Duane better only because Prof. Lewis is no longer writing------------------

Nevil Schute?
I liked "Trustee from the Toolroom".

I just finished today "Redwall" by Brian Jaques. I hope the other dozen or so in the series are as good....

Edgar Allen Poe. Lewis Carrol. Mark Twain. Ayn Rand. Arthur C. Clarke. Robert Heinlein. Spider Robinson. Anne McCaffrey. Ursula K. LeGuin. Marcedes Lackey. Anne Rice as "A. N. Roquelaure". George S.

guy gavriel kay (for a sample of Kay's early work, check out the silmarillion--he did most of the actual writing), george rr martin, brian jacques, connie willis, charles de lint, patricia mckillip, and the eternal jane austen, to name a few...i'm sure i'm forgetting one or two of my favorites, but the idea is there...geo

Goodness... Look at what that little offhand comment did! <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif">I was only half-joking really. My list of favorite authors is pretty large (and most of them seem to be British too...hmm...).Brian Jacques, E. A. Poe, Bram Stoker (as if you didn't know), J. K. Rowling, Tolkien, Lewis...it goes on for a while.As for this Diane Duane, I've never heard of her. I'll have to look into her work...once I finish all the books I've got.Gah...I am SO backlogged on my reading... (Hitting four or five huge book sales in a row will do that to you.)

I've read up to Marlfox (I think The Legend of Luke is the next one...need to find a copy).The series has a few flaws, but it's definitely one of my faves.

So does anyone think we're going to see Beltane in the future?

Zodo · Post by **Zodo** » Mon Feb 04, 2002 3:46 am

Will we see Beltane again? Undoubtedly. She's too funny a character to let fade into the background. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">To bring up a topic that was discussed a little while ago, but I didn't see until I checked the board today, I have played a GURPS: In Nomine LARP a few times. The one thing that I have to say is that a mortal with free will, being badgered by the sides of good and evil, is capable of doing much more harm than any of the Celestials. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif">-Sean, CI
