That would be correct Ink, I own all 6.
+1 for The Hobbit. I remember delivering papers a looong time ago and saw a pile of books in someones trash, found a 1946 version of Hobbit, it's in pretty bad shape, but still alive here somewhere.
The Mouse and the Motorcycle is the first book I remember.
I think I read too much as a kid (and kept all of them) and find them all to be "favorites"
Short list:
Naomi Novik - The Temeraire Series
David Eddings - Belgarath Series (all 20+ of them)
Terry Brooks - Wishsong Series
Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman - Dragonlance Series + (all 50 or so of them)
Robert E Howard & L Sprague de Camp - Conan (plus misc other authors, all 75+ of them)
Robert E Howard is by far my favorite Author of all time.
The Hour of the Dragon
The Lion banner sways and falls
in the horror haunted gloom;
A scarlet Dragon rustles by,
borne on winds of doom.
In heaps the shining horsemen lie,
where thrusting lances break,
And deep in the haunted mountains
the lost, black gods awake.
Dead hands grope in the shadows,
the stars turn pale with fright,
For this is the Dragon's Hour,
the triumph of Fear and Night.
The Phoenix on the Sword
What do I know of cultured ways,
the gilt, the craft and the lie?
I, who was born in a naked land
and bred in the open sky.
The subtle tongue, the sophist guile,
they fail when the broadsword sing;
Rush in and die dogs-
I was a man before I was a king.
his suicide note
"All fled, all done, so lift me on the pyre; The feast is over and the lamps expire"
