    <body><![CDATA[The Robert Asprin &quot;Myth&quot; series, is a comical romp through alternate dimensions that include myth, legend, magic, and science. Each book contains new ideas about what types of creatures and cultures could exist in the universe, but it never takes itself too seriously, which I consider to b...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58903910">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ina time when puns and comedy ruled fantasy, this was a great series to read alongside stuff by Piers Anthony.   I even have the comic books done by WaRP Graphics back in the day!   The series seems to always be at its best, with each new novel and the author writing with him now has handled the rei...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38475955">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I started reading Robert Asprin’s <em>Myth</em> series when I was a kid.  My first exposure was via Warp Graphic’s comic version, which I loved.  I never read all the books in the series and I intend to remedy that situation.<br/><br/><em>Another Fine Myth</em> is fantastic.  Asprin’s writing is completely en...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/31883051">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The start of a great series about Skeeve and his magic-deprived wizard mentor Aahz.  I love the way Asprin explains how the magic operates, can almost see it happening in my own mind.<br/><br/>A great series to read through.<br/><br/>Robert Asprin will be sorely missed.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ah, Skeeve. My favorite bumbling magician's apprentice in all the realms. I remember the first time I read this book, I flew through it like it was nothing. Well, it's not the longest book on Earth, and it definitely is an easy read.<br/><br/>I loved Skeeve's first introduction to Aahz, and Aahz's...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37247857">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[These books were one of the first series I got into when I began reading sci-fi/fantasy.  They are what you'd call whimsical, in the sense that Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams are whimsical.  I've probably re-read these 10 times over the years; they're shorter books, and they don't require a lot of...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1013647">more...</a>]]></body>
