Well, there's a new Xanth novel out by Piers Anthony. It's called THE CREWEL LYE I've just picked it up. If the title is anything to go by, it should be the puniest one yet! MartyJ

But you left out the subtitle!
Crewel Lye
A Caustic Yarn
And it goes down hill from there. all you people who love to hate puns will
like this one. I thouroughly enjoyed it. (I got mine the week before Christ-
mas and read it in pretty much one sitting. )
In the afterword, Anthony says that he is already working on the next one.
I can't remember the title but it'll be about Grundy the Golem and how he finds
true love.

Jordan is a ghost in Castle Roogna who observes Ivy, Irene and Dor's little girl, watching his past life play on the moving tapestry in the castle. He then gives a narrative that leads up to his death. His talent is the ability to heal from any injury as long as a decent portion of his body is present to regenerate from. His whole story is full of "cruel lies." I also enjoyed the book but not as much as the previous ones, I did enjoy the new talents, though. Johnny O. | |||||

I'm just finishing the 3rd book (Castle Roogna), and would like to know how many more Xanth books there are, and in what order they should be read.... Dr. Lobotomy | |||||

5 more books! Next are: Centaur Aisle (I haven't read this one and have been told I'm lucky), Ogre, Ogre, Night Mare, Dragon on a Pedestal, and of course, Crewel Lye (a caustic yarn). The books are pretty even, and the plots, alas, predictable. They're still good reading! I think that Crewel Lye has more evenly scattered puns as apposed to big pockets of them in some of the others. (Hopefully you've read A Spell for Chameleon, and The Source of Magic, since they come before Castle Roogna.) | |||||
