Camilla - I ha...Thank you all for the suggestions!<br /><br />Camilla - I have never tried anything like War & Peace, maybe it's time. I'm not a big fan of McCall Smith - nothing much really seems to happen.<br /><br />Tamie - I may try that one. Steph put me on to Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series last year, and I read all 11 or 12 in a few months. (I saw a new one in Big W the other day too!) Might try Eddings now.<br /><br />Alison - that sounds just up my alley! <br /><br />Thanks - that gives me some good ideas for next term, where I can delve deeply into fiction!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11235980969755979085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416089578031996468.post-39831359229647450722011-09-26T10:17:34.367+09:302011-09-26T10:17:34.367+09:30Hi Wendy, read Anthony Trollope's six Chronic...Hi Wendy, read Anthony Trollope's six Chronicles of Barsetshire ? Classic Victorian ecclesiastical saga (according to my copy. As a Christian, you'll cringe and you'll laugh in equal measure.

'The Mallorean') and a couple of long prequels as well. Good characters, some witty lines, an unfolding, exciting story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416089578031996468.post-10605675643330822512011-09-23T08:41:24.677+09:302011-09-23T08:41:24.677+09:30War and Peace?

Tolstoy's good for that; in fact all the Russian novelists of that ilk do detail and character well.<br />I also love Margaret Atwood's writing for the way she evokes character and feeling; but I"m getting away from sagas and series... Have you tried Alexander McCall Smith? He's done several different series with the same characters (one set per series); pretty light and entertaining, but well written.Camillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00310237039918727553noreply@blogger.com
