i think, mr agapow, that you are applying a very narrow concept of quality
on these books.
when i sit down to read a mush fantasy i don't do it so my mind is expanded
and i don't do it to goggle over complex metaphors and i don't even do it
to push at the boundaries of my own XXXXism. i just do it because i enjoy
a good story that is told with honest enthusiam.
i can imagine david eddings as the sort of grandfather i wish i had had. who
would sit around the fire at night weave stories.
story telling is dying and learning through metaphor is what its all about.

as for the hippy crack...
our realities both may have computer screens in them, but thats probably
where  similarity ends. (ancient new age hippy insult)

anyway, deep down inside i'm sure your actually really beautiful :-)

love
