R.A.Salvatore

Any Salvatore fans here? I have read all of his Drizzt books and think he is a phenominal fantasy/action writer.

I've read one or two of his books. He's a great writer, but I kinda get tired of all the fantasy nerds that copy his work for fan fiction and roleplaying games. Hell, I even knew one girl that failed Spanish in high school, so she started learning Drow.

I read a lot of his stuff when I was a teenager, but as I've gotten older have grown to dislike the genre. I liked the stories then, but looking back now I think they and his writing were rather weak. I haven't read anything he's written in the last 15 years though. I've thought about trying out some of his newer stuff, but I don't know if I will. So I guess I'd say I'm familiar with him, but not a fan.

I have read a lot of his earlier stuff. Kind of stopped reading when I stopped playing pen and papers, which was around when 3rd ed. D&D happened.

I really enjoy his writing and especially his character development. To be frank though, I haven't read any of his newer stuff. I saw at the library Drizzt is back in a new trilogy; however I don't remember the title.

The two newest trilogys are The Hunter's Blades (awesome) and Transitions (brace yourself).

Ive read the 1st three. And although Im a fan of the Genre, I find his writing a bit sophmoric. His plots are very straightforward and simple. Given that I do get lost in his books. Im pretty much done with him though..... Totally enjoyed Baldurs Gate and Icewind Dale VG though.

Dude, me and my girlfriend just beat Baldur's Gate I & II back to back and are going back through Baldur's Gate I on Extreme mode!! It's so much more fun with 2 people!!

I guess I was very late on the scene to discover his books. I played EQ for awhile back in college and couldn't figure out the obsession people had with dark elves. Then several years later I read the Icewind Dale trilogy and it all then became apparent. I think the strongest points about his books were the character development, and the message.
