Yes i read them all, Belgariad was my favourite which is why I bought the 5 books now recently on bidorbuy

Sparhawk is still my favourite character

so glad to see others enjoyed it

um - you know there is a follow-on another series - with 5 books as well

and then the prequels (Belgarath and Polgara each have their own book)

I almost enjoyed the Elenium series more

I just love how Eddings develops his characters

And then all the other stand-alone books as well

Well of course....

I wish we could get a series made of the books...

This has to be the advise ever

Thanks, I inspired myself. Went to my local library today and renewed my card. Last used in 2014 and I had a R4.50 fine apparently.

I think, I'll start with these 2. They seem to be arousing the most reaction from you guys. I will check if I can find them at the local library.

If they are not available, take something else for the meanwhile, and request that they find those books for you. My local library charges a fee of R10 to bring a book from somewhere else in the province. Fortunately they told me the books I want are available in two suburbs not far from me, so I'll just take a drive once I'm done with the one I have.

That's ridiculous, I would never have renewed. lmao

Wish kindle had a thing like music or video subscription where you pay a monthly fee and then have access to all the books.

Be a cheap-ass and only read samples.
(They do have a lot of classics for free / 99c)

Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman's Good Omens is a great read.

Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (1990) is a World Fantasy Award-nominated[1][2] novel, written as a collaboration between the English authors Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. The book is a comedy about the birth of the son of Satan, the coming of the End Times. There are attempts by the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley to sabotage the coming of the end times, having grown accustomed to their comfortable surroundings in England. One subplot features a mixup at the small country hospital on the day of birth and the growth of the Antichrist, Adam, who grows up with the wrong family, in the wrong country village. Another subplot concerns the summoning of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, each a big personality in their own right. In 2003, the novel was listed at number 68 on the BBC's survey The Big Read.

I disagree - would be like Game of Thrones then
