I was going to ask you...I had someone recommend a series by an author called L.E. Modesitt Jr. Anything you've heard of? I'm kinda leery of series books...a lot of 'em tend to be pretty lousy. But I thought I'd ask...

I hated the on LE Modesitt book I tried to read, not necessarily because of the plot (though that was boring, standard fantasy stuff) but because of the writing style. Every character had dialog like this:

"I...err... weel, I don't..."
"You see, it's..."
"There, uh..."

It may be true to life, but it's deadly to read.
