Tigana and Ysabel are the two GGK's I haven't gotten to yet. I own both and am working my way toward them. Sorry I can't help!  All I know though is that while Fionavar is fairly weak imo, The Sarantine Mosaic and The Last Light of the Sun are my favorite books of all time, narrowly beating out GRRM's ASOIAF.
Ah thanks Elmador! That actually does help. Makes me want to jump into more of GGK's books.

For Dunes:
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

There's some delight in ale and wine,
And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

I'm actually pretty fond of books such as Eaters of the Dead. I've read all the sci-fi classics and like them as well.
This is another favorite of mine. Not too partial to Crichton, but this was a work of great merit that is unfairly overshadowed by his more popular works. I also really liked the movie.

Dune is very good, but I also think it is very long winded. Though the book is far superior to the movie. By the time I got thru reading the 3 books I was pretty fatigued and knew I would never read them again.

I liked the movie too, but it was very easy to overlook the existence of Neanderthals in the movie.

This thread begs the question: do the "women" of ACF use a funnel to get that much sand in their vagina or do they just slide around the beach like an angry Roomba? -deadcactus-
