I rarely say this, but his wiki page actually gives a good description of all his work and which are set in what world. (From what I understand none of them are connected other than passing references). I'll probably be more coherent tomorrow. I've been working on this iphone app all week and apple rolled all there new coding language updates today in order to break all my stuff. Oh, and regarding Tigana, datepalm has a hilarious GoodReads review linked up thread somewhere, but like I said, I haven't read it in 20 years or so and my tastes have uh, changed dramatically.

Its historical based fantasy. Most the the stand alones are based on some time peroid/event in history but it's all secondary world.
-
Eh, do you mean Kay? I just started my first really. I read his fantasy trilogy in middle school..so...almost 25 years ago.
-
You know as I'm sitting here reading my first Kay book in a long enough time it might as well be my first, I was just thinking Kay has the tendency to go on the occasional short philosophical rant in the way Bakker does. I mean, I wouldn't call them similar at all, but one of two Ever are Men deceived wouldn't be too out of place. And I can't comment personally but everyone always says to start with Lions. I just happened to get Last Light Of The Sun cause VIKINGS.
-
So, to resurrect old topic, I finally started The Last Light Of The Sun, and I can't tell if I love it or hate it. Well written so but so far veyr predictable, although I am not that far in and I do read way to much Viking fiction, and these things all tend to start out the same. This thread also reminds me how much I HATED Tigana in high school.
-
All mine have been on iOS.
-
Same. It was fine for a while but as of yesterday it's been awful. Just getting to this thread was a struggle.
-
To add to the above, it only seems to do this when I'm connecting to the site via my phones data network, when I'm on the wifi at home it works fine. SO i suspect its something up with verizon and not you guys.
-
I am getting this as well, it seems to only happen in the literature section, and only on my iPhone.

lawl is not punctuation. -
I have only vague memories of reading the Tapestry books and then Tigana in high school. And every one gushes about Kay so I figured, hey, Vikings
-
OK, so, I haven't tried to read any Kay since the 90s, but I have Last LIght of the Sun sitting here, because, VIKINGS. Is that book ok to read by itself first, kinda like Banks Culture, or do I need to read them in publication order?

Someone was sock puppeting to self promote his book, which was the best thing he'd read since locke lamora. And we ran with it. -

And what is your basis on saying we all have shit for taste, other than we don't like your "work"? Hey you can promote all you want, you just need to not have a tantrum when people don't like it. -

You know, if you don't want people reading your shit, maybe don't link to it in your sig? And if you don't want any one to say anything bad about it ever, I dunno, buy some 5 star reviews? Then go live in a cave on mars? -
