Fahfrd and the Grey Mouser - Fritz Lieber
Is anyone else familiar with the Fafhrd and Grey Mouser series by Fritz Lieber? I found them to be quite entertaining, especially the great city of Lankhmar.
Lieber is a good writer and the characters are well-fleshed out. I was spurred to pick them up as I was playing a lot of Dungeons and Dragons at the time, and I had a couple of characters who were mirrors.

"...[The Lord of the Rings] is to exemplify most clearly a recurrent theme: the place in 'world politics' of the unforeseen and unforeseeable acts of will, and deeds of virtue of the apparently small, ungreat, fogotten in the places of the Wise and Great (good as well as evil). A moral of the whole (after the primary symbolism of the Ring, as the will to mere power, seeking to make itself objective by physical force and mechanism, and so also inevitably by lies) is the obvious one that without the high and noble the simple and vulgar is utterly mean; and without the simple and ordinary the noble and heroic is meaningless." Letters of JRR Tolkien, page 160. |

They are great stories! I have read them over and over for about 30 years...
