LOL, well it's a bit paradoxical to comment on fantasy's mediocrity and then continuing on to say how good David Eddings is at characters, or how great Weis and Hickman are... In a minute you're going to tell me you think R.A. Salvatore rocks

Discussing art and starting at Plato doesn't sound quite right either...
