18:06 - Zaphod Besides, there are many popular fantasy books that are just rehashes of Tolkien, even modern releases. Now Malazan is another long series that I haven't read yet, but that one I will at least check out because I heard it is fresh
18:04 - Zaphod Just because it received acclaim doesn't mean it's original or good. I'm not gonna judge it since I haven't read it, but I never will because I don't think it worth finding out since it's such a long series.
18:00 - bloodwrage I read the first of the Wheel of Time series for the first time a few months ago, and all I could think about was how much of a LOTR rehash it was.
17:56 - LeKiwi @Zaphod: I doubt that, else it wouldn't have received such acclaim ;) @Red: Trust me, it possesses none of the aspects of a popularised fantasy novel. It's about as fresh as it can get in fantasy...still surprises me how he did it
17:54 - Marcel Hubregtse okay nothing written except for one song.
17:52 - Zaphod Believe what you will, but you can't claim there's not a single song been written if they played one 2 years ago.
17:49 - Redn1ght Also, haven't really read Malaz either. I know those two series are popular ones but yeah. But popular books have not really been my type.
