Posted Hide Post I haven't read any of "Amber," his big series, but I found "Lord of Light" both innovative and engaging, and although I though it lost focus a bit at the end, I heartily recommend it.

Posted Hide Post Isle of the dead! Lord of Light! The Amber series isn't quite as good as those but it's rich and imaginative. "My name is legion" and "today we choose faces" are also quite good. I like most of his books, he's always flirting with concepts of death and immortality. And his imagery is amazing. ~ Gal-El You don't have to be a basketball player, you can be the president of the United States. ~ LeBron James.

Posted Hide Post I read the Amber books a long time ago and rather enjoyed them. I would always get confused at the end and wondered if I had missed a book somewhere because things don't seem to quite fit. I tried to read Lord of Light and could never get into it. I really should give it another shot though. I liked A Night In The Lonesome October, I think. I do know that I adore that title. I would have thought the end of the world is everyone's responsibility, wouldn't you? ~Death in Thief of Time Minister of Kraftwerk in the Realm of U & P, Order of the Pineapple with frond for advancement in Nap studies.

rigpig Member	Posted Hide Post I've heard that title recommended before but I didn't know it was his. I'll pick that one up first, thanks.

That's a yes. He's one of my favourite authors.

Posted Hide Post How about Jack of Shadows? I liked the first couple of Amber books, but I thought Jack was a really good piece of writing - even though I completely hated the main character by the end of the book. - Cho _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ You are a Confectioner.

The Lord of Nothings There is no custom member title here. Member	Posted Hide Post I haven't read anything else, but I need to BTW, google 'Jack Kirby Lord of Light sketches'. They're what they sound like- Jack Kirby concept art for a movie that was never made, and they're exactly as good as you'd imagine. Since seeing them I can't imagine the world as anything but...
