Forgotten Realms

If you are 12

This. If you are 10-14, big yes. If you are 18+, big no. Between those ages I'm not sure.

And personally, I wish I could momentarily regress to a mental 12 year old to enjoy the Drizzt books again.

kinda but approach them as children's books, because they're harry potter-tier

I found the stories to be quite engaging and easy to read, and salvatore is pretty good with writing archetypes

his combat pages are tiresome though, and after a while I just realized I could skip reading most of them without missing much. Start with Icewind Dale

>>9045243
Depends on the person.
Great majority of /lit; stopped with vidya and genre fiction at about 20.
I stopped at 15.
Some stop earlier, or don't get into those at all.

If you're going to read them at all, only read The Dark Elf Trilogy. And since you made this thread, you are probably enough of a plebeian autistic neckbeard to enjoy them.

Icewind Dale is just boring, and everything after that is fucking awful even for fantasyfags.

Ages and your personal sense of social status doesn't really say anything about the books.

I remember reading something about 'omnivore theory' where a bunch of half assed fantasy books get pumped out into the market for specific teen crowds which get periodically replaced, are Salvatore's books a part of that trend?

>>9045159
I lurk on /lit/ on occasion, and the level of autism of these wanna be intellectuals always astounds me. Drizz't novels are like block buster action flicks, don't expect deep life changing material just popcorn friendly fun. Most of /lit/ reminds me of the types that sit through pointless art house films and ramble on about the color of some trivial Bullshit in the background of one scene as though it was the whole point of the pointless waste of celluloid. Goddamn, read a book to read the book. Bickering about genre fiction vs real literature and circle jerking over paper vs ebook makes you seem like neckbeards with books on your heads instead of fedoras...

But if you come to a board to talk about books you can say something. I read the first drizzt at 22 and can't imagine ever picking up another. It was cheap fantasy at it's worst,

This

I feel like a lot of people here have either thrown this away or forgotten it

>>9045159
a bit dull but you could do worse

I hate drizzt himself though

Jarlaxle and Entreri are definitely his better characters
