    best read previous bought books. Death Gate Cycle,

    i would say on this nice reading style with very good plots and twists if you like some fantasy reads that include the odd elf and dwarf - now that story gripped me through all 7 books

    i just couldn't put it down i had to read like crazy person...(i think i am allready past crazy however )

    From Library Journal
    An assassin and the royal child he has been hired to kill form an unlikely and unstable alliance as the plots of human sorcerers, elven pirates, and dwarf revolutionaries threaten to overwhelm the airborne kingdoms of Arianus. Long-time collaborators Weis and Hickman ("The Darksword" trilogy; "The Rose of the Prophet" trilogy) have embarked on their most ambitious project to date in this first of a projected seven-volume cycle. The authors' combined talents for innovative world-building and sympathetic characterizations find ample outlet in this epic fantasy. Recommended for most libraries.

Now these bestsellingauthors bring their talents to one of the most innovative fantasy creations ever in Dragon Wing, the first volume in The Death Gate Cycle.

    Here's one of a few I found. It excludes his "children's books". My favorites are the ones with the witches and the city guard

    Happy reading

    The road to reality - Roger Penrose?
    Procrastination is like masturbation. It may feel good at first, but when you look at the task at hand, you're actually screwing yourself.
