Marienbad My Love, all volumes

>>17627335
great book! great series! avoid the 10th's book and higher though, because the writer picked up a habit of smoking crack cocaine. Why in the world would you have a wakir, the world's equivalent of a baron, follow along a rescue mission FOR FUN? In what CONCEIVABLE UNIVERSE does the PRINCESS OF A GREAT POWER go on rescue adventures?! what the hell mr. flanagan, at least book 3 and 4 made sense because she was kidnapped and erak's ransom also made sense since cassie was royalty that brought bargaining authority.

>>17630181
Yeah man I loved that series as a kid. I must have read the first four books 50 times each. Recently gave my whole collection away to a library and I kind of regret it.

You keep hearing about it because that one chat site that was advertising here not too long ago is doing a group read. I'm probably the only person on this whole board to have actually read the damned thing, and it's an all-time favorite of mine. It's starts off easy enough, but the further into it you get, the more you start to realize that the plane of reality the novel takes place in is very much not the same as the one we inhabit. The way I tend to describe it to people to get them interested is that it's like if Heart of Darkness was written by James Joyce.

Also, there are no literal peacocks in it.

Most of the good chapters are already translated so it's not much of a problem. You don't lose a whole lot by skipping untranslated parts.

>The Ninth Spirt in this Order is Paimon, a Great King, and very obedient unto Lucifer. He appeareth in the form of a Man sitting upon a Dromedary with a Crown most glorious upon his head. There goeth before him also an Host of Spirits, like Men with Trumpets and well sounding Cymbals, and all other sorts of Musical Instruments. He hath a great Voice, and roareth at his first coming, and his speech is such that the Magician cannot well understand it unless he can compel him. This Spirit can teach all Arts and Science, and other secret things. He can discover unto thee what the Earth is, and what holdeth it up in the Waters; and what Mind is, and where it is; or any other thing thou may est desire to know. He giveth Dignity, and confirmeth the same. He bindeth or maketh any man subject to the Magician if he so desire it. He giveth good Familiars, and such as can teach all Arts. He is to be observed towards the West. He is of the Order of Dominations. He hath under him 200 Legions of Spirits, and part of them are of the Order of Angels, and the other part of Potentates. Now if thou callest this Spirit Paimon alone, thou must make him some offering; and there will attend him two Kings called Labal and Abalim, and also other Spirits who be of the Order of Potentates in his Host, and 25 Legions. And those Spirits which be subject unto them are not always with them unless the Magician do compel them. His Character is this which must be worn as a Lamen before thee, etc.
