I bought Legends II the other day. The story I bought it for ("The Sworn Sword" by G.R.R. Martin) wasn't as good as I thought it would be. But the worst part is that they made the book girly purple. I almost didn't buy it. I don't mind buying dorky things, but purple things is a whole nother matter.
The store was busy so I decided to wait for it to slow down before I would have to shamefully walk up to the counter with my girly purple book. But it got busier and busier the longer I waited. Finally I said &%$$# it, and waited in line. Everyone gave me looks sympathy like they could see the estrogin coursing through my sissy purple book buying viens. It was very shameful and humiliating, I almost ran out of the store crying.
Why on God's green earth would you ever make a fantasy writter compilation purple? Or even worse--girly purple. I guess there really is no manly purple, but dark purple is better than the purple the book was. It was kind of a flowery pinkish purple. What has the world come to?
Anyway, there is some good stories in the book. Fiest's story waqs better this time. Tad Williams did a Otherworld story, and Niel Gamien did one from the modern day gods series. Hobb and Brooks are in it also. Seems pretty good so far, I recommend males sending there wives, moms, sisters, girlfriends, or female friend to get it though.

It's all a feminist plot to undermine men and make them girlie boys!
That, or the designer just likes purple.

Maybe that book company makes all their books different colors so that illiterate people can find them on the shelf.
