Favorite works by David and Leigh Eddings?

I have eleven. Can I name all of them off-hand? No. The two series are the Belgariad, the Mallorean, and the stand alone is The Redemption of Althalus. Althalus is like a combination of Silk and Belgarath, and is consequently my favorite character that they have created.

Interesting. I read some of Eddings work long ago (10 years back) starting with Pawn of Prophecy and the following 4 books. So i don't really know about the one you speak of...

I've read his fantasy books, but then lost interest after finding his writing to be too repetetive.

David and Leigh are awesome! I really enjoyed reading the mallorean and the Belgariad, I want to read some of their other series

The Belgariad was quite entertaining. Eddings is unsurpassed in characterization....

The wolf speaks true. Actually, you've hit on one of my favorite "brain dead" authors. Meaning, I don't have to be really paying attention to figure out what's going on. Unlike, say, Neil Stephenson. Let's see... I have... 16 books by Eddings. Whoa. Didn't know I had that many. Huh...

I really like the books that he and his wife make they are like he said kind of a no brian read, it is fluid and reads well, it is also a lot of fun to read.

Eddings was the first fantasy I ever read. I have all of his books except that latest one, the one with the sleeping gods or whatever. He's pretty good, but kinda lite. I like a heavier fantasy nowadays, like Robin Hobb or George RR Martin. Still, Eddings is great.

Gotta second that. After Belgariad and Mallorean, everything just ran along parallel tracks. Love the stuff, but magic jewels and gods just make the characters unstoppable.

The Dreamers, their latest, isn't even challenging. You KNOW they can't lose, so there is just no suspense...
