Nope.  I don't have a lot of time to read, so I don't get many chances to try
new authors.  :(  Do you dislike Robert Jordan?

I also Like Modesitt's Spellsong Cycle and Recluse Saga, and Forgotten Realms
Novels.

I don't remember when exactly I tried, but it was before I really got into
Fantasy novels.

Hmmm...  I think I would have a hard time with that...

Which con?  I'm going to Otakon latter this year...

I have the MP3's of those songs...  ;)  Dunno about the differences, though.
The only major Lyric Archive I know of that has Translations is for Final
Fantasy and other Square games.  Sorry, don't have the URL at the moment.  :(

I know of fifteen imports (see <http://animenation.com/tenchimuyo1.html>) and I
think the Tenchi Muyo! in Love soundtrack was released domestically.
