Has anyone on Veeky Forums read these books? I've used them as inspiration for campaigns before and wanted to know if anyone else has.

Only the first three. Don't remember much but I know I enjoyed them.
These are the ones I have. Is it worth picking up Xanth again and reading the rest?

I read these way back in the 90's in HS. Lots of fun.

Read at least to Ogre Ogre
you can read it after if you want but things get weird after awhile
Pic VERY related

A Spell for Chameleon is good. The rest of the novels quickly plummet in quality as Piers got too interested in jerking off his fans and puns.

The books'll get a boy through puberty, though.

The Mythadventure series is better.

I remember, in my quest to read 'em all, I had to ask a Librarian for that book because I needed to get it on Inter-Library Loan.

They're plaid, by the way.

You have good taste.

>It's real
Fucking hell. I thought this was one of those jokes where people rename books based on the author's fetish inserts or something.

In the beginning, it's pretty good. But as time goes on it depends into more and more puns with more and more sexy girls in the books as well.
While he at least has the consideration to fade to black usually, it is kind of annoying that every other page there's something raunchy happening.

Nope. 100% real, the author is pretty blatant about his fetishes in the books
Such as in the first book where he casually drops that the main character (who is 25) wants to fuck 14 year old girls.
Or the 3rd book where a woman wants to fuck a guy with the literal mind of a child.
Or the 5th book where the main female lead runs away from home become a demon threatens to rape her every night and her family doesn't give a shit.

>Veteran independent producer Steven Paul’s SP Entertainment Group is launching development of Piers Anthony’s long-running “Xanth” fantasy series as a feature film and a TV series.

>The “Xanth” books have become one of the world’s largest fantasy series. The 42nd book in the series is set to be published this month .

You know, sometimes a series is just too long to want to start. This is why I don't watch Naruto or Fairy Tale no matter how many times I'm recommended them (also, Naruto is for faggots)

>Xanth
>Mythadventures
>Pern
>Earthsea
>Shannara
>Dragonlance
This is what got me through school back in the 90's. The local library had a personal vendetta against Tolkien so I got to read everything else but

Still doesn't beat some of the shit Jack Chalker got up to.

>Earthsea
Utter shit. Despised those books. I might have thought the first was okay but the rest were about as much fun as it would be getting my skeleton surgically removed.

Piers Anthony is kind of shit. I can't in good faith recommend anything aside from his Incarnations of Immortality series, and only the first half because he's basically become a horrible fan-fiction-tier writer in his old age. And it's not like his early stuff was that great.

I mean, the last book in Incarnations, Under a Velvet Cloak. literally ended in Nox (female) having a rape battle with an alternate reality's Incarnation of Night (male).

To keep it Veeky Forums related, I saw this on the Wikipedia page-
Encyclopedia of Xanth (1987, by Jody Lynn Nye) a Crossroads Adventure role-playing game book
Ghost of a Chance (1988, by Jody Lynn Nye) a Crossroads Adventure role-playing game book

Do pdfs exist?

Stop reading Incarnations at book 3 and you should be good.

Fuck yeah I did. Found them at my uncle's house way back when I was a kit. Being from Florida the way the world was pretty hilarious to me. Lots of corny/clever humor in the whole series, as well as being a fun read. I had no idea they kept going as long as they did though. The first dozen or so were great.

Different author, but The Elenium was really good too if you're looking for something a little more "serious"

The only ones I still like are Time and Evil, the rest just feel stale.

I was a fuckedup 13 year old virgin when I read Piers Anthony, and his sex fantasies were almost identical to my own.

Yeah, one grows out of anthony pretty quick when you pick up on his patterns. Plus his ramblings could get a bit twisted, in a not-good way.

The first book, which I must point out has a 30 year old MC, has the 30 year old being given "the talk" by his father who explains to him about how harvesting nymphs grown from "wild oats" become mind slaves to anyone who pisses on them as they grow.

Pretty much magical realm: the book series.

Literally literature on Magical Realms.

I thought that was a flashback or something, where he was remembering being around 12 and getting that talk.

Are they really themes when he does a series of books called "the pornucopia" and the second book in the series, publish 2003 under the title "The Magic Fart", has a naked child rendered in bad poser art on the front cover?

Battle Circle and Biography of a Space Tyrant is pretty good, and the Cluster/Tarot series is decent if you like symbolism and alien anatomy. Most of the standalone stuff is alright as well.
