Favorite Classics

[Kryson]

I think the writer of Eragon was influenced by the Pern series if that helps any.  Eragon is like a baby book in comparison though. 

[Eira]

I see! sounds awesome

[Mornaric]

'The White Dragon' - one of the Pern novels. Damn good book.

Yes, we can call an author classic. Tho, they're usually called Grand Masters.

Arthur C. Clark comes to mind. I can not think of a single book of his I didn't enjoy. Try 'The Fountains of Paradise.'

Him and J.R.R. Tolkien more than anyone are who first inspired me to write!

[Kryson]

You'll never guess who inspired me to write. 

[Mornaric]

Mary Shelley? 

[Kryson]

Actually, no.    Good guess though. 

[Aenae]

Stephen King!

[Kryson]

He is one, yes... but not the original and not so much from his own work.  I read a forward he'd written in one of his books that egged me on. 

Think older. 

[Mornaric]

Quoth the Raven "Nevermore."

 

[Kryson]

Bingo!  He was the original.  I was reading Poe at a pretty young age.    After that... what drove me to be a bit more twisted was reading Clive Barker.
