I just come across this fantastic website. Why have I been oblivious to this for the past 3 years? Oh well, as the saying goes - better late than never!

My favourite authors are Stephen King, GRRM, Weiss & Hickman, Zelanzy, Tadpole (Tad Williams!) and David Farland (Especially the excellent Runelords).

I am the editor of the local fantasy magazine in England (Kent - the county) which is called "The Trashcanman's Mag" (Dedicated to Stephen King's Character in the uncut version of The Stand" I publish it bi-monthly and it only consist of 16 pages. But I am proud of it and it has a staggering circulation of 50 magazines per bimonthly!! It is free as well!

Tad Williams writes a good novel, as I loved Memory, Sorrow and Thorn. But King? I never was able to enjoy his work... not really scary, and far too much swearing for my taste.

Ancalagon, which King books have you read. I admit some are better than others, a couple I'd like to forget as much as I enjoy the majority of his work.

Zelazny, GRRM and W&H are some of my top favorite authors.
David Farland is pretty good as well.
King's books i find often too slow and too boring.
4 out of 5 is good i think.

To the Dragon of Angband, have you read any of King's Dark Tower books, or his Eyes of the Dragon, you may be pleasantly surprised, his is also a damn fine author of Fantasy.
