Re: Piers Anthony

I haven't read any Piers Anthony books since high school or maybe before, so my memory is kind of hazy.

I read On a Pale Horse but I don't remember if I read any more. I remember it being not that great, but maybe that was what I thought about the second book.

The only Piers Anthony book I actually own is Macroscope, and I seem to remember liking it best, but I don't actually remember much about it. I think it was as close to hard sf as he ever got—the macroscope was some technological device that could see arbitrarily far and could also somehow see back through time, or something.

I enjoyed the first 5 or 6 Xanth books a lot, but I was young.

I also enjoyed Split Infinity and Blue Adept, and probably wouldn't mind reading them again. I remember that games played a significant role in the story. I have no idea if the other 5 books in the series are any good.

I think I liked the Cluster series (or at least the first three) but I basically remember nothing about them at all.
