Off the Shelf...

Currently re-reading The Elfstones of Shannara for the first time in...well, a very long time. Apparently Terry Brooks turned out a whole bunch of books after the first trilogy, but I never read them, and even the first and third books of the Shannara trilogy (The Sword of Shannara and The Wishsong of Shannara) didn't really stick with me.

The middle book, though, is ate up with Crowning Moments of Awesome, and even though big chunks of it read like breathless Tolkien fanfic, it remains a guilty pleasure of mine. Stee Jans & the Legion Free Corps and Crispin & his Elven Hunters are so badass.
