From what I recall
having read them a Long Time Ago at an Impressionable Age they were pompous and self-righteous to a terrifying degree and populated entirely by thinly-disguised stereotypes.
You, of course, are entitled to your own opinion. :)
but the belgarimalloreiad ended up as a 10 part epic. took so bloody long i forgot what happened at the start...

If you like doorstopper books
the Night's Dawn trilogy by Peter F Hamilton is a great rip-roaring page-turning hi-technology space-operatic gory swashbuckling lusty enjoyable read. If you like that sort of thing. And two of the books in the trilogy weigh more thatn my head...AND it's not in Douglas Adams W I D E S P A C I N G, so you get more bang for your buck. It's not as funy, but it quite gripping.
Yes.

i've only got the swf file so i couldn't resize it
the original is 300 pixels wide, but i stumbled thanks to nanaman trying to view it on opera, into a way to get it huge like that, no idea how the code works but it is more or less what i wanted originally.

I feel I should apologise
I don't want to upset the b3tans... That's not the idea of this site. I kinda see it as everyone "hiding from the web together". I know the guys who run this site work hard and do a good job.
I guess if you're not interested in entering the challenge, there's always a meme nearby (in a little glass box with "break here")...?
