I've been planning to do that
but I'm afraid it may have suffered from the David Eddings effect, where it was good when I first read it, but since then I've come to see that his books are fucking shite, with 1 dimensional characters, awful dialogue and problems solved because basically the characters are all-powerful.

Hah! That is the least of the problems with David Eddings.
I remain amazed that he managed to get the same 5-book series published twice, then went on to condense it into three books, renames the characters, got that published twice and eventually, with the Elder Gods series, got the EXACT SAME BOOK published three or four times in a row.

you're not wrong
it was the shit he wrote with his wife that opened my eyes to just how bad his stuff is.

really quite enjoyed the belgariad etc. when I first read them. Now I'm almost tempted to get rid of them.

They were terrible
but I read them when I was ten or so, and loved them. So they've got a bit of sentimental value
