Its such a shame there's so many books in this. I get lost as to who is what and where :/

The couple I read as standalone novels were OK, but I couldn't commit to reading the lot.

I've read the original trilogy and time of the twins trilogy... cant remember if i have read any more than that. Need to read them again actually.

Only six you need to bother with in my opinion - The Chronicles and Legends trilogies. They're seminal fantasy novels. The rest of the DL books I could leave tbh.

Those six are some of my favourite books ever - just realised how old they are now, 22 years! Must've first read them when I was about 13-14 and then re-read every 5 years or so since.

There's one bit that still brings a tear to my eye (won't spoil it for those who haven't read it, but Fizban is there to console the person most upset by it).

Don't know if I'd want to watch a cartoon - I have such a distinct image in my head of all the characters that any other interpretation would be sacrilige.

You read the other Weis and Hickman books? The ones with Fizban popping up in? A bit Kevin Smith reusing characters Very cool imo.

Can't imagine my voice sounds anything like Keifer's, though. Matt Damon would have been a better choice.

I dunno I think Keifer can convey the character better than Matt Damon... (ok that just sounds too geeky)
