I have just finished the Belgariad series, so next should be the Malloreon.

Did you read "Belgarath, the sorcerer" ? Oh, I'm having fun with it ! I have Polgara's story too. So I have to pospone the Molloreon.

Whenever I don't know what to read, I take Farseer or Tawny man volumes to re-read them. I never get bored with them.

Do you know when the last books in the livership traders should appear ? I check regulary at my library, but they don't know anything.

I don't know about Polgara, but Belgarath is definetly so funny. I didn't understand Belgarath's behaviour a lot with Belgariade series. The way he tells us the story of his life, reminds me a story around a camp fire.

I bought all Pigmalion has published. They are really expensive, but I don't care. When I love a book, I like to read it over and over again.

I should try e-bay, too. I cannot find most of the books from SF forum. Québecois are obssessed with québecois authors. I'm not fond of them, so I search around.

e-bay can be fantastic, but sometimes it gets a bit ridiculous. i was looking for a copy of do androids dream of electric sheep. for a while the only copy had a reserve of £400! but if you wait others come on - i picked mine up for £1 eventualy
