So, has anyone ever read any of his books? If yes, then good for you. If not, then you so have to. Really.

All you need to know, I'm not gonna copy, lol.

Anything else? Well, his books about the 'witcher' (what a word!) are definitely in my top ten. I guess it's something like LOTR when you think about it, but its really not a rip off. Some of his, Sapkowski's, books are better. I like his language and style, I don't know how the translation looks like, though. A must-read for fantasy lovers! (Phorcys: yes, it contains elves).

I'll have to take a look at them. I have never heard of the author or the books.

Yes, I was going to ask about the translation. I know I couldn't wade through it in Polish - the spelling in the Roman alphabet, oy, drives my mind sideways. ^_^'' ...to say the least.
