So, I started re-reading Zelazny's Amber, which I last read about 15 years ago. Unfortunately in translation, as I was suprised to find out that original Amber is not available in an ebook version, although a lot of other Zelazny's works are. Anyway, it's as much fun to read as it was when I was a student, the story is fast paced (after all, Zelazny packed 5 full novels in the space of many modern writers' one), there are a lot of great quotes. The only problem I have is with the characters - they are supposed to be power-hungry, greedy, manipulative bastards with no regard for anything apart from what they want, but they are a bit too likeable for that. (OK, perhaps with the exception of Brand.) But then, I suppose that in the meantime I just read a bit too much Bakker, Morgan, etc.
