"Glen Cook’s epic series The Black Company may be the next fantasy adaptation to make the jump to the television screens—Deadline is reporting that the series is in development with IM Global Television, who are working with Eliza Dushku’s Boston Diva Productions along with David Goyer’s Phantom Four. Dushku, known for her work in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dollhouse, will star as The Lady, a dark sorceress who hires the mercenary Black Company"

Wow. Bookfinder is an awesome meta-store. All bibliophiles should try that! It crawls across a bunch of stores.

We have 2-month, 2-topic groupreads going continuously.
New ones just started for Moorcock's Eternal Champion series and Fritz Leiber's Lankhmar.

I just bought the first two.
Hot darn, some of the books in the Poll are expensive!Chris Carlsen's Berseker series starts off inexpensive:
in the US, via Abe Books, the first two are ~6$USD. Which is fine for paperback
But book #3, The Horned Warrior is going for >200USD eh gad!
Abe books has it for 30 or 99: It is less expensive as "Berserker" which must have been another name
Welcome Matt!
Review Posted: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...Highlight: the 4th chapter was best.
“Yahimba’s Choice”: Tarusi (realized forms of mens’ fear of girls not getting circumcised) take center stage. Best story in the set. With Saunders already infusing black history into dark fantasy, with this collection he strived to go further by taking on a woman’s character. From the outset, I had in mind doing some type of Bechdel-Test (one measure of how well women are portrayed in movie scripts in relation to male dominance). For this, I mentally noted how much Dossouye was just a “chick-in-chainmail”; ie how often did her gender really play a role in the story and not just be easily replaced/switched for a male stand-in. Although female issues are mentioned throughout, it wasn’t until this chapter did Saunder’s hit his stride across the board: African culture & myths, Dossouye’s gender, and classic Sword & Sorcery (battles with supernatural) all synchronize.

Thanks Jack! This banner got a bit trippy, but that matches the authors' eras.
It's about time to identifyobscure Sword & Sorcery books... one's that are worth hunting down in bookstores and frantic online searches. This may lead to a groupread in the future. Years ago we did this a bunch of us read Cambell's Ryre stories. This is not the time/pace to pimp new books. Please write-in some options and/or vote<.b> See Poll at

Any Moorcock will do. Elric is a favorite, but there are many eternal champions. The Banner features Corum!
