Has anyone read Piers Anthony's Books?

[EclipseMoon]

Hey, have any of you ever read Piers Anthony books? And how good a writer do you think he is? I was also wondering which book ny Piers Anthony(if you've read his book's) you like most. Mine is "A Spell for Chameleon".

<.< If you turn this into a Piers Anthony thread, I won't have to lock it, but there's already a book recommendations thread. Somewhere.

I've read... I think Harpy Thyme was by Piers Anthony, but I don't remember. It was a pretty decent book, but not all that memorable. If it were more memorable, I would be able to remember more than the fact that it's about a half-harpy looking for a her true love (or something) and she runs into something to do with time. Then again, I got it from the library, and I rarely remember any of the books I read when they're from the library.

Well, if you go to Piers-anthony.com you can find out if he wrote it. And how exactly do I turn it into a thread? xd Well, I can't do anything right now because I got to go to school. crying

Oh, yes, Harpy Thyme is one of Piers Anthonys books. It's located in the Xanth Series.

Mmkay, to turn this into a specific thread/topic, edit the title, and take out the recommendations part. It's easy enough. If you want, I'll do it.

Ah, it's part of a series. Maybe that was why I didn't like it so much. Starting a series in the middle is never a good way to start it.

Yes, I believe that it was #19 of the Xanth series.

I love the Xanth books. Every time I go on a long trip I go to the used book store and look for more Xanth books. I also enjoyed reading Letters to Jenny.

I like the Xanth books, though I have yet to finish all of the books my mother has.

lol I was just about to post a topic on this author to see if he was any good. I haven't read any of his books, but was wanting to try him out. So do you all recommend his books? 4laugh  

[EclipseMoon]

Oh, yeah! He is the best author that I've read so far! And I've read a lot of Fantasy Books. I've seen an interesting looking one that my dad was reading, yet I haven't actually started reading it!

Anyway, yes, I HIGHLY reccommend Piers Anthony!

Happy Reading!
