Butcher stays true to the Dresden character - he's pigheaded, noble and stubborn, which gets him into all sorts of trouble. The most recent one, Summer Knight, was the best of the lot, just a roller-coaster ride that never gave poor Dresden a chance to catch his breath.

I get the latest one as soon as I can possibly afford it (although with Drake, for instance, I am getting the Isles in hardcover, and the Belisarius in softcover, for financial reasons). Their books vanish into the "I've read it" category way too fast. I have a problem when reading many books, that my emotional state is ruled by what's going on in the book. This can make it difficult for me to deal with my real life when the characters in the book I'm reading are going through particularly difficult moments. For whatever reason, none of these three authors wreck my emotional stability (and in the case of Drake and Brust, often help it). David Drake - My very favorite author in all of creation - anything with his name on it I've read or am just waiting for the $$ to be able to afford to do so :) Steven Brust - the Drageara books is all of his I've gotten to so far Glen Cook - Black Company and Garrett particularly, though I've enjoyed anything with his name on it that I've read. Laurell K. Hamilton sort of falls into this category: her Anita Blake books really grab me when I read them, and I will continue to read the Anita Blake stories... however, there are elements in Ms. Hamilton's works that I cannot abide - namely, what her works do to my emotional state, as above - and so when the Anita Blake books are done, I will breathe a sigh of relief. My sitcom comment was regarding the other author's series listed in connection with Garrett, not the Garrett books. I've greatly enjoyed the Garrett books.

I probably read your post too quickly to pick that up. I have read the first two of the Butcher books and enjoyed them quite a bit. I did not have the sense that everything wrapped up nicely in them at all. To the contrary, characters die, nurse grudges, etc. I have not been tracking him down but when I see him on a sweep through the used bookstore, I've been picking up his stuff (initially because of the GC endorsement). You might still give him a try. I also read most everything by David Drake and had the good luck to have a passing acquaintance with him during my stay in Chapel Hill, NC. Ironically, I did not read him much when I was there but read it all now. Did you know about his website and mailing list? Not a fan list, the one that he actually writes and sends. http://www.david-drake.com has a way to subscribe. Okay, Eric, I know I'm OT, I'll stop now ;) Anyone who spools up a Drake thread from this is on their own. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-glencook-fans@lists.xmission.com [mailto:owner-glencook-fans@lists.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Kisc Kempson Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 8:29 AM To: glencook-fans@lists.xmission.com Subject: RE: (glencook-fans) recommendation on Garrett books There are three authors whose works I feel very strongly about.
