Diane Duane

I love Diane Duane's "So You Want To Be A Wizard" books. They're so cool! For those who don't know, they're about Nita and Kit, two young wizards who, while becoming attracted to each other, try and get themselves out of serious scrapes. They meet strange people and tangle with the Lone Power. Don't want to ruin the plot, though. Does anybody else read these (between, of course, the multiple LOTR readings

)?

We almost read that book for our bookclub. It lost be one vote though, I never did accualy read it. Do you think I should? It sounded a little corny to me at first, but hey maybe I'll give it a shot!

i had to read "so you want to be a wizard?" in school a few years ago. then my dad bought the five books including that one in a collected volume for me. when i first read it i didn't like it but then i got into them. there's six books up to now right? i've read six at least. my favorite was "a wizard abroad."

I've only read the 1st 4. I like them. What are the names of the others?

Goldberry1 · 09-10-2003, 05:01 PM

They are... So You Want to be A Wizard?, Deep Wizardry, High Wizardry, A Wizard Abroad, A Wizard's Dilemma, and A Wizard Alone.

They cry at the drop of a handkerchief. Their culture is much like that of Pelosia. They're extremely devot and invincibly backward. It's been demonstrated to them over an over that serfdom is an archaic, inefficent institution, but they maintain it anyway--largely at the connivance of the serfs thmselves. Astellian nobles don't exert themselves in any way, so they have no concept of human endurance. The serfs take advantage of that outrageously. Astellian serfs have been known to collapse from sheer exhauston at the very mention of such unpleasant words as 'reaping' or 'digging'." ----------------------------------------------- “They lost him?!” Lupin asked , amazed. “Voldemort has been after Harry for 15 years, and then he misplaces him?!”
