|  This year my boyfriend got me the 4th book in the 'Forgotten Realms' series. It's called 'Paths of Darkness' by R.A. Salvatore. The first ones are 'The Dark Elf Trilogy', 'The Icewind Dale Trilogy', and 'Legacy of the Drow'. I've skipped 'The Cleric Quintet' for now because it's not directly related to my books, like a side quest. I've talked about these books before. It is a great series, if you like that sort of thing. Dwarves, elves, drow, orcs, humans, magic, weapons, good guys, and of course bad guys. They are full of graphic descriptions and big names that everyone thinks is something else, like the main good guy is 'Drizzt'.
Actually, the first books weren't even about Drizzt, they were about a barbarian named Wulfgar who eventually met up with and befriended a dark elf. Readers of the series wanted more background on the drow, so RA Salvatore wrote a trilogy to explain how a dark elf had came out of the underworld into, the light, and had a pure heart. These two savage beings became inseperable.
I'm probably making it sound like a love story, but believe me, it's full of blood and guts. I've read the books I have about 3 times each.
The whole saga is one big Dungeons and Dragons quest that lasts for years.
Does anyone else have books like these?? I mean, books you read multiple times, even though you know it well.
I have a few Dean Koontz I've read a couple times, Stephen King and James Patterson, too.
