Now that I am enlightened by Philip K. Dick's storytelling style, I'm moving onto fantasy in the form of #86 Jim Butcher's Codex Alera series. Book one is called Furies of Calderon. I haven't heard much about it ... apart from all the raving my friends have been doing over the series.
I have previously read Jim Butcher's Storm Front which was okay. It's a kind of fantasy/hard boiled detective series which is apparently supposed to be amazing from the second book, Fool Moon, onwards. I haven't got around to reading more from that series, known as the 'Dresden Files', despite my fiance frequently berating me over the issue.
Usually I like the fact that fantasy books come in multiples - it means the experience keeps going and going. But for this Top 100 Challenge I'm a little less enthusiastic about it, looking at the long list. So in terms of whether I'm going to read the whole 6 books in the series of Codex Alera, I'm going to wait and see how long it takes me to read the first one and whether I enjoy it.
