The first proper fantasy book I ever read was of course the Hobbit and that was quickly followed by the Lord of the Rings trilogy. That was when I was about 7 or 8. Unfortunately I gave up on reading for some years. When I was about 14 in secondary school my English teacher used to bring in a selection of books that the school had bought for us to read.
I read some strange sci-fi that I really didn’t care for. Then one Thursday afternoon I found Magician by Raymond E. Feist. I spent the next two days devouring this book and thoroughly enjoying it.
Magician follows Pug, an orphan, Thomas, a cooks son and Arutha the son of a duke. An invasion by peoples from another world begins a tale that spans both worlds and many years. The war brings about events that change the life of the three main characters, revealing impressive destinies for all of them. It is western fantasy at its best with a mixture of Asian culture mixed in.

I'm torn now as to which book to put it in. I am leaning towards The Painted Man, but the great bazaar calls me also. Its a hard old life. The image is fantastic and was created by Lauren K. Cannon. You can see more of her art at navate.com.

Well after a really bad week in work there has finally been some light at the end of the tunnel. When I got home today there was a fantastic surprise waiting for me. A small envelope from america containing a signed bookplate from Peter V. Brett, author of The Painted Man, The Great Bazaar and The Desert Spear. Isn't it pretty :D
