I did read one of the forgotten realms books once, kind of just jumped into the middle of a story line, so wasn't always clear on the history but it was a lot better than I expected it would be, since you never know what you'll get with franchise motivated books, novelizations, etc, but it was a lot better than some stand alone books I'd read.

When I read I want to loose myself in my imagination. Far to much horrible shit goes on in this world for me to want to read about it. <br /><br />I may borrow a historical book from the library for a bit of background reading but I wouldn't buy them space being the main reason. Plus I love going to the library with the kids and choosing books I wouldn't normally buy.. I only have maybe 10 physical rulebooks and the rest are either printouts or PDF. I can't explain why but I they just don't feel like books to me. They let me act out my fiction that I read.<br /><br />I enjoyed the Harry Potters perhaps that is a bit childish but they are better than the movies the world its set in to me is brilliant.Simon Quinton https://www.blogger.com/profile/18001946192905517180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239850240632449202.post-73495928441229230922013-10-26T15:45:51.081+01:002013-10-26T15:45:51.081+01:00That was very informative, Simon and I commend you...That was very informative, Simon and I commend you for giving it a go.

Really ?)<br />I have to assume that the survey only covered Fiction as there's not a single mention of any rule-books or non-fiction in your whole list !<br />As for myself I have very few fiction books, so the survey would be mostly useless to detect my likes and dislikes etc.<br />Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239850240632449202.post-30117023508095583002013-10-26T13:45:58.012+01:002013-10-26T13:45:58.012+01:00I've actually translated ERAGON 4 for the read...I've actually translated ERAGON 4 for the readers in my country, and trust me, you're not missing anything by not reading it :) I felt like I gave birth to five babies before I finished it :) Extremely drawn out and boring....
