	I'd like to thank the person who recommended the Belgariad
series by David Eddings last month.  I decided to pick up the first
book and was throughly entranced throughout all 5 volumes.
Definitely the best read I've had in quite some time.  I just
loved the characters.  They seemed so real and likeable.  I strongly
second the recommendation.

	I would like to add an interesting observation about the series
that no-one on the net has yet brought up(as far as I know).
*All* the characters and *all* the races are *pure* *stereotypes*.
The incredible thing is that Eddings was still able to make them
"real and likeable" as Mr. Bartholomew says!  Amazing!
