[QUOTE="LouFrankel, post: 2888082, member: 135716"] Congrats Tika *return tackle - totally ignoring copyright*. I'm an avid reader (always have been), but never able to read 'classic' litrature or instruction manuals. So I'm stuck with 40+ years of reading what a lot of what serious people call 'rubbish' (but I like it... ) So: Any of the series by Piers Anthony (Bio of a Space Tyrant is a great view of USA politics), a lot of the Harry Harrison Sci-Fi stuff (Deathworld series), but to pick one I'll go for Lyndon Hardy with Master of the Five Magics. Possible MA crossover in the last one, where a young apprentice in a world where people stick with a single realm of magic throughout their career. The star of this book is forced (or moves) from one element to the next without becoming a master of any - but he has the vision and instinct to use the appropriate bit of knowledge in the appropriate situation. I've read elsewhere in MAP that the master of any art may be beaten by a technique he has never seen before. [/QUOTE]
