One of the first series I read in this language, and I found it in our school library. My mother started me off by having me read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings when I was about 9 or 10 and just learning English. She despises fantasy, but loves Tolkien. Anyway, off that tangent... comfort books. Elizabeth Moon's Deed of Paksenarrion. And sometimes I like to read as many of the Vlad books as I can in one sitting. Another one by Steve I reread for comfort: The Sun, the Moon, and the Stars. I'm not into art (I'm a visual philistine), but I'd love to see that painting.
