Appendix N The Eldritch Roots of Dungeons and Dragons by Peter Bebergal
Appendix N: The Eldritch Roots of Dungeons and Dragons had a postponed release to late Feb, but was supposed to an Anthology Read topic. Why not give it focus in March?

The Book of Three (The Chronicles of Prydain, #1) by Lloyd Alexander The Warlock of Firetop Mountain (Fighting Fantasy #1) by Steve Jackson The Hobbit, or There and Back Again by J.R.R. Tolkien

Nostalgia (i.e., mid-life crisis topics); How about we all revisit the books that got us into S&S. I list some of mine as examples, but to each their own. And yes, I am in my late forties and do stare at my old books in my library, but I am not having a crisis yet.

Ben I'm for Appendix N related stuff as heavily on my mind - based on projects currently working on.

And nostalgia, what got us into this genre is always good!

Voting for Appendix N because that was going to be my anthology pick, but I expect I won't be starting it until mid-to-late February after I finish the giant multivolume fantasy epic I'm currently ensconced in.

Remco Straten My 'to read' piles are teetering, so I really shouldn't add anything for a group read. As it happens, I am reading something that got me into the genre. That is, Conan and the Flaming Knife was the first collection of Conan-stories I had. Soon after, I also read the King Kull pocket book of the time. I'm now (re-)reading the Del Rey, and get more out of it than I did then! Another one that sold me on the genre - Tanith Lee's "Kill the Dead" (which I will maintain inspired The Witcher); might be one for a future group read?

Great idea about ""Kill the Dead"...remind us if it doesn't emerge sometime.

Jason Koivu I'm all for Appendix N, but is there going to be no other option than paperback? Or is the publisher just holding off on releasing the ebook until closer to the release date, as they do?

Joseph Mod
I'm always up for more Tanith Lee!

Empress of Dreams just came out, Tanith Lee fans. I think Richard is reading it. Feels like Tanith Lee is haunting us....
