Description
I remember picking up Michael Moorcock's novel Stormbringer in high school; it was my gateway into the world of epic fantasy novels. I didn't know at the time that it was actually the conclusion to Elric's tragic saga. I only pieced that together as I read the subsequent novels, which Moorcock penned later but were set earlier in Elric's timeline. As for whether I read the Elric series before or after Lord of the Rings, well, that was a long time ago and my memory isn't what it used to be. But I read them both around the same time, during the early years of my fascination with sweeping epic fantasy tales - and fiction in general - that set me on a voracious reading path for years to come. - BJU
