I was vaguely aware of Xanth while I was a teenager, but didn't actually read any until I grabbed "Golem in the Gears" from a B.Dalton shelf when I was about 22. I read about four more after that and then gave up. A Spell for Chameleon was actually the most interesting.

I'd read two or three of them, when I was in my early 20s. I know A Spell For Chameleon was one of them, and the most interesting of the set. I remember one as being a fair enough travelogue interrupted by a lot of yes-we-get-it-already-move-on-please scenes and then ending with what seemed like forty pages of naming fans who'd written in.

That said I have been enjoying the modern reviewing microgenre of ``we just looked at a Piers Anthony book for the first time this century and good lord did you know what was in it?''
