I also picked up Jhereg in the early 80s. I was tired of rereading LOTR and having problems finding other fantasy authors I enjoyed. Stumbled accross Jhereg totally by accident. I read the first couple of pages in the store and was hooked. Sales clerk actually had to come up to me and ask me if I planned on buying the book (this was before book stores actually wanted you to sit down and read in them.) That is when I realized I had been reading almost an hour. Bought the book and then purchased all the rest most as soon as they hit the shelves. Must say my favorites are Jhereg, To Reign In Hell, and 500 Years After. In that order. But picking a favorite Brust book is like choosing a piece chocolate from a tray of all your favorite chocolates... No matter what you pick your going to enjoy it. -------------- Forwarded Message: -------------- From: "Casey Rousseau" <casey at the-bat.net> To: "Dragaera" <dragaera at dragaera.info> Subject: RE: just for fun Date: Tue, 28 Dec 2004 23:05:58 +0000 MedCat7 at aol.com asked > When did everyone discover the wonder that is Steven K.Z. > Brust and what got you all in to it? I picked up Jhereg from my local bookstore sometime after it first came out (4/83), but I think before _TRiH_ or _Yendi_ had hit the shelves (7/84).
