Steven Brust is a popular author on the net.  And I like him too.  My
personal favorites are "To Reign in Hell" ('cause I like mythological
stories) and "The Sun, The Moon and the Stars" (one of the better fictional
examinations on the nature of art).  The Vlad Taltos series is an enjoyable
romp for the first two books, but then the main character (a professional
assassin), has some qualms about the nature of his work in the third book
(I don't mind the change of tone, but I do have some problems with how the
story was developed).  The fourth book in the series is a prequel, but
retains some of the tone of the third, making it an odd mixture.  Rumor has
it that more books in this series are being written even as I type.
Attentive readers will notice links between the Vlad Taltos books and all
the other books.
