Don't...I thought Hettar was too much of a show-off. Don't remember Durnik, sadly. I'd forgotten about Beldin, but he was cool too.<BR/><BR/>As for Beldins name: probably. Says so in wikipedia, anyway.<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beldin<BR/><BR/>No wonder he wanted to be a sorcerer.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13503431960424131533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354250.post-21564069572087640452007-06-07T06:24:00.000-05:002007-06-07T06:24:00.000-05:00Mmm, Elric.

I wasn't reading Eternal Champion when I was a younger lad, though perhaps I should have been. <BR/><BR/>I even liked good Solid Durnik and Hettar the Horse Lord. And Beldin, of course. <BR/><BR/>I don't think Eddings ever addressed this, but if he was Garath and Garion was...well, Garion, does that mean Beldin was once Din?

My mom bought the firs...Ooooo, that brings me back. <BR/><BR/>My mom bought the first five books in a set for me when I was eleven, cause I'd finished my first book in English and she thought I should continue reading. <BR/><BR/>Took me a couple of days to get into the first book. Thought it was slow, and the prospect of having to read five whole books was daunting. But once I got into it I read the other five over the next two months. Silk and Belgarath were the two coolest guys ever. I remember thinking there couldn't possibly be anything better. <BR/><BR/>I don't think I could bring myself to read them again now. Pretty sure they're not as good as I thought they were when I was eleven. One of the few good memories I have of that time. Let's not get into the Mallorean saga. I knew that one sucked as I was reading it.<BR/><BR/>But the cover that makes me think of fantasy would probably be this one.<BR/><BR/>http://www.wargames.co.uk/Pending/Archive/March04/elric.jpgNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13503431960424131533noreply@blogger.com
