Well, it's a nice day out there. I haven't seen sun in quite some time. I was told by ET to start reading some Guy Gavriel Kay books. Anyone read his work before?

Hey QYV, i tried to read The Fionavar Tapestry and I had to fling it across the room. Yeah yeah it starts in Toronto and everything, but I couldn't stand the crappy writing. I really wanted to like that writer, but the dialog near the beginning is really wooden. Also, he juxtaposes the "real" world with the "fantasy" world -- and fantasy names -- right in the beginning chapters, and my suspension of disbelief just crashed to the floor.

I really enjoyed his work. And hes very Toronto-centric.

Well I'm confused -- is GGK the same person as Robert J. Sawyer?
Or.. is CC saying that they might as well be the same? *scratches head*

AFAIK, Robert J Sawyer lives in Kitchener, yet, his bio is too ashamed to mention it:
"He was born in Ottawa in 1960, and now lives just west of Toronto with his wife, poet Carolyn Clink."
Well maybe he's ashamed to be living in Brampton. *laugh*
