johnridleyPawn of Prophecy by David Eddings
Book 1 of The Belgariad
Pretty good, fairly short as these things go. Seems a decent enough story. It is right up there on the top 100 fantasy books list I've been looking at so I trust it will be worth it. It's good enough so far, the characters are pretty decent and the story seems good. I didn't realize that the books absolutely do not stand on their own at all until I got to the end of this one. I wonder how they sell these things; I wouldn't start such a series until they were all out, but if everyone did that they'd never sell book 2.
I'm working largely from lists these days since I don't really keep on top of anything and have little insight. Perhaps when I get my Nook reader I may be able to link up with some of you via the social networking features and get other suggestions.
Here are some of the lists I've been working from lately
