13. I haven't read them in years so I don't know how well they hold up

A lot of fantasy and SF from some periods hold up better than others. I really enjoyed the first five of them with war, earth, chronos and the like. When he got to god, the devil, and eternity, it got a little more ethereal and out there. They're basically what are YA novels these days but they are light and breezy reads overall, which is nice to change things up with.

I had a hard time with a lot of fantasy after reading hobbit/lord of the rings and growing up playing D&D and reading tons of books from that realm, such as Dragonlance and so forth. I had a lot of fun with them all but there was little that felt really challenging or trying to do something new. it all just felt too familiar and repetitive.
