read this in junior high while staying at my aunt's house. read it on an ugly couch covered in plastic. read it cover to cover, realized I loved it, then read it again. jacked off to it too. my aunt's house was next to a smelly sewage plant so it was sort of a struggle at that. but I soldiered on! read it a third time years later but the magic was gone. years after that, when I was living in a punk rock flophouse, the couch was donated to us. oh the memories on that couch.

The first book in the Xanth series. Bink wanders through a land filled with magic and magical creatures, with no magic of his own. He meets three girls, one very smart but mean, one normal, and one gorgeous idiot. Or... does he?
Not as bad as many of Anthony's books, but still not particularly wonderful either.
For teens with nothing better to read. ...more

I have to admit that Bink's continual agonizing about morality and loyalty drives me a bit bonkers at time. If you can, though, right after this, read The Question Quest. It's hilarious to juxtapose the two perspectives.
