[Schmidty]

Just finished "Shadowmarch" by Tad Williams. I am a huge fan of his "Memory, Sorrow and Thorn" series, but this book was kind of tough to get through for me. I mean it was fine, but there just didn't seem to be much depth to the characters, and I didn't really identify with any of them (other than maybe Chert or Veras (?). Maybe it's because of the fact that the last fantasy series I read was "A Song of Ice and Fire", I don't know.

Anyway, I was going to get the 2nd book in the series, but it wasn't at the library, so I picked up a cheesy Weis/Hickman book "Well of Darkness" and the 2nd book in that series. Also, got the first two books in "The Books of Barakhai" series by Mickey Zucker Reichert (her Renshai books were great).

I read a lot of fantasy because I can never find any other genre that holds my attention. For example, the only SciFi author I really like is David Brin. If anyone that likes fantasy has any suggestions for something from a different genre, let me know.
