I love fantasy from Terry Pratchett Disc world, JRR Tolkien, Robert Rankin, JK Rowling (not the casual vacancy), Christopher Paolini inheritance series and most recently George Martin and game of thrones. I also like a lot of classics such as Jane Austin, Oscar Wilde and HP Lovecraft. I have never tried writing my self but often thought about it.
Beautiful Metaphor
"The fog had hidden the quay and was drifting inexorably up the slope. Nick watched it Rolland watched the lightning that shot through it. Unpleasantly, it made him think of luminous veins in partly transparent flesh."
- Garth Nix, Abhorsen
Funny
Death come to us all. When he came to Mort, he offered him a job. After being assured that being dead was not compulsory, Mort accepted.
