The book sections aren't nearly as detailed over in our book stores. Salvatore is merely found in the fantasy section.Amber T.

Most people, even fantasy fans, including me, see "role-playing", think D&D, and go "ugh". *shrug* Sounds like it's worth looking a bit closer at that section, though...ViolaNuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07896411685523236241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936402483709284852.post-69386269183374499232010-08-09T21:00:46.670+01:002010-08-09T21:00:46.670+01:00Mark - you are so right!

Rambling IS a form of eloquence! *nods wisely* And I personally think thet 'Drizzt' is the noise a wasp makes when it uses an electric razor.<br /><br />Mari - I'm not actually keen on that particular picture of Drizzt, it's not how I imagine him at all. But it was the only one on Wiki, and Wiki was the only source I could find that was okay to borrow a picture from (if indeed it IS okay to borrow a picture from Wiki *shifty*). As for Legolas, I think you will find that he lived in Mirkwood. On the other hand, the guy who played him in the movies could quite possibly be from Legoland, if the plastic style of his acting is anything to judge by.<br /><br />Tami - I can't believe how little known these books are. I mean, I KNOW they're not everyone's cup of tea, but given the large amount of fantasy fans out there, it's a mystery to me that these aren't more popular.<br /><br />Yup, I snorted at the comments too....Amber T.

Hardly anyone knows who I am talking about when I talk about Drizzt.... it's a tragedy, that's what it is. *nods*<br /><br />Seriously though, although not on par with LotR (not much is on par with LotR actually), anyone who loves fantasy should enjoy the Drizzt adventures.Amber T.
