"First, let me introduce you to yourself" (Beware RotE Spoilers)

[Maulkin's Tangle]

Hello All,

Sorry for my bad manners by not introducing myself before posting on the other threads!

I'm a software developer from a small town near Glasgow, but now live in the city with my wife, young son and cat. I first got into Robin Hobb's books by taking a chance on Assassin's Apprentice from a second hand book shop. I've now read the lot (with the exception of "Words Like Coins" - which I can't get anywhere) and own all of the books. I like having my favourite books in Hardback - so have all except AA and Royal Assassin in that format as they're just too pricey.

I think Robin Hobb is my favourite author now - her books always have a great story, deep\complex characters, intrigate plots and proper 'sneaky pete' political intrigue! I don't think there is one bad one in the lot. She has supplanted Stephen Donaldson due to a slightly ropey Last Chronicles (still worth reading though), ruining his previously perfect report card.

I came across this site while googling furiously in a vain attempt to locate a copy of "A Fantasy Medley" at a purchase price that would not be vetoed by the Upper House (the wife), and am delighted to have a found a place filled with like minded enthusiasts. I look forward to joining the chat!
