Xaa,
I'm bitterly dissapointed. See, I thought I'd scoop up a book of yours here, a book there and have a entertaining read to dabble with on my Axim.
I was wrong.
Yesterday I bought the first book of the Oerth Cycle, and started reading it while training Pooka, in Mageworld.
(Oh and by the way, what a dirty trick, planting the excerpts in the Queen's Library)
Well, that was a mistake, and I quickly had to change gears.
So now I'm at work, irritable and fatigued, and I blame Xaa.
You see I've not had the pleasure of getting so immersed in a book, that I have finished it in one sitting; especially so much so that I was up until 0230.
Xaa, I salute you! Today I will be ordering at least the next book in the Oerth cycle [being a Greyhawk fan, I was predisposed to like the name].

I'm finishing up Book III today! I've really enjoyed them thus far - and I know any dissapointment will simply be from not having any more Oerth cycle books to read.

Delcar, I agree with you totally, although in a slightly different way, I liked Xaa's Oerth so much, I went ahead and bought and have read all of his books.
That leaves me with nothign else to read from him whatsoever.....
I also know what you mean by your statement of not having a book you had to finish in one setting......
Xaa is definately one of those authors that make you do that.

Xaa: Cool! And congratulations! My hats off to ANYONE with the guts and determination to complete even one novel. Your output is impressive. VERY impressive.
