I've read most of Terry Brooks' Shannara books, and still have them all. I remember reading the first one back in the late 70s! I think I probably read my last Terry Brooks book in the early 2000s.
Reading has been problematic for me ever since November 8, 2016. It's like I've been afraid to let myself relax enough to read for enjoyment. I've tried several times, with varying degrees of success, but it is still a problem I am trying to work through. I buy the books I want to read, put them in a bookcase, and stare longingly at them.
Currently, I have 3 very large volumes sitting in a pile in my largest bookcase staring back accusingly at me from across the room. I really need to start reading them! I want to...
They are the latest trilogy, The Last King of Osten Ard (1.The Witchwood Crown, 2. Empire of Grass, 3. The Heart of What Was Lost) from one of my favorite fantasy writers, Tad Williams, and present a return to the world of his first series of books, Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn (1. The Dragonbone Chair, 2. Stone of Farewell, 3. To Green Angel Tower) from the late 80s and early 90s.
So, it has been a while since I've been there... I've visited other worlds from the mind of Tad Williams in the intervening years (Shadowmarch, Otherland), but this world has always been my favorite. Will it have changed? Will it still hold the same magic for me? Will I have changed too much to enjoy it as I once did? I guess the only way to find out is to begin... if I can...
Wish me luck!
ETA CORRECTION: The third book in Tad Williams' new Osten Ard trilogy will be released in July, and it's called Into the Narrowdark. The book I mistakenly listed above as the third is a new book set in the Osten Ard world, but it's not part of the trilogy.
