Moving on the The tombs of Atuan - Le Guin

The second part of the Earthsea cycle...weee...
Do you like the atypical 'Quest' /morality driven tales Of Fantasy or are you into the more abstract metaphysical aspects of Fantasy fiction?

They're certainly fun, especially when they get all epic, entertaining stuff. Does anyone else have an extra page that redirects you to the previous pvge always show up in this thread?

God, I read those a while back, I remember I was really into them at one point....that's all I really have to say, since I now remember like two things about those books.

Hmm, I'm not sure really, I haven't actually read many fantasy novels. What would be an example of some abstract metaphysical fantasy?

The Horse Latitudes - Robert Ferrigno. Greaaaaat ****in' book. So underrated and didn't get enough recognition. S'about an ex-dealer trying to redeem himself by trying to solve a homicide in which his ex-wife is somehow, mysteriously involved in. And he still loves her... but so, he has to go back through LA's underworld of the late 90s, hook up with all his old dealin' friends, pay people off, do odd favors... and just, the characters this guy runs into... the novel is strong mainly because of the extreme caliber of the characters. Dealers are funny people, interesting people. All of 'em friggin' nuts. The book is chock full of dark-humour and ideal, debaucherous situations. Recommend it, if you can still find it anywhere.
