The Dying Earth
AuthorJack Vance
ISBN0671831526

I did not like this book much the first time I read it, but after reading it a second time while visualizing its characters as puppets, I found I liked it much more.

AuthorRoger Zelazny
ISBN0380809060
I adore this series. I have read and re-read this book since high school. What can I say? It captured my imagination and has kept ahold of it for years. This was the work that Zelazny worked on through his career. I think it is what he wrote for fun. It isn't complicated but it is epic.

Imagine that...

Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melnibone
AuthorRoy Thomas
ISBN1595824278
I've been meaning to read this series for a while. I'm a fan of the original publishing company (Pacific), as they seemed to be one of the best indy publishers during the direct market boom of the early 80's. Alien Worlds and Twisted Tales are two of my favorite titles from this era (when is someone going...
