regrettably, my library doesn't have any of the riders of pern books, which is really too bad since I'm reaching the end of the darkover books I had borrowed and I wanted something else to read
They do have the locked tomb books (in french) so that was tempting, but I am just not sure I'm emotionally ready to either get into this or find out I don't like it and start being annoyed at 15% of my tumblr dashboard
I guess I need to check what other old school fantasy/sf books they have
#I realise that as much as I love fantasy I mostly just read what my dad had lying around#and our tastes didn't always align#I distinctly remember reading the entire Lyonesse trilogy by Jack Vance just because it was there and hating 85% of it with burning passion#(though the other 15% I really really loved a lot)#(unlike Darkover I absolutely refuse to subject myself to Lyonesse ever again and I doubt Ill want to read anything else of Jack Vance ever#I also have vague memory of other books I'd picked up and dropped#one I think was about those d&d novel dark elves with the spider cult?#another about a prince with a cursed sword that has super powers but pushes him to kill#and one prequel of like a mouse-themed clever guy and his big brawn buddy?#at the times I found these boring but I was young and also I skip fight scenes in novels so that didn't help lol#jau rants#and boy did I rant in the tags this time lol

Don't recognize that one, but...
#another about a prince with a cursed sword that has super powers but pushes him to kill
The Elric books by Michael Moorcock?
#and one prequel of like a mouse-themed clever guy and his big brawn buddy?
Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser by Fritz Leiber?

If that is the genre of books you're interested in, I might ask if you've read Ellen Kushner's Swordspoint
