I personally have only read one Redwall book, the one where the cats take over the forest, I never read another one because I loved the characters of the first one too much to go on reading the books without them.

It was this nead for continuity that stoped me from reading Discworld for a while so I may try to read the series again.

Books are so much easier to love and to get to know then people and when you have trouble relating to people you often seek refuse in fantasy.

At least that is how it was for me, I started reading my first "adult" fantasy novel aged seven, one of the Xanth series by Peirs Anthony, then i went on to the David Eddings books, which I would still read if I wasn't obsesed with Terry Pratchet.
