I cut my teeth on it! Xanth books, the series that starts with On A Pale Horse, and my personal favorite - the Blue Adept series. I always enjoyed his storytelling.

Though there was some book called Firefly (I think) that I started and found out it was absolute filth...so I didn't go on with that one.

I started on Xanth too! Then I went to the Incarnations of Immortality series (with starts with "On a pale horse") I too, really liked the apprentice adept series. I discovered at the used book store that he wrote more than the original 3 that I read. I think I'm going to start over on that one and read them all. I also picked up book 1 of the "Virtual Mode" series. I saw "Firefly", but the word "controversial" on the back cover warned me away. He mentions it in his autobiography, and says that it was about sexual abuse and that it offended some readers. I intend to avoid that one. :)

Blestwithsons, On a Pale Horse is the first of the Incantations of Immortality Series (which my husband has read, but I have not) The Xanth series starts with A Spell for Chameleon. I have read that one and a few others in that series. My husband has read much more Piers Anthony than I have. But he and I, like you, have found that he sometimes crosses the line of decency--probably more so with his later books--and the Publisher's Weekly review (on Amazon.com) of the book you mentioned says the book borders on pornography. So, while he is a very entertaining writer, exercise caution--especially when recommending his books to children or young people.

I found the Xanth series in High School. I loved the puns, and I remember my delight at the first one, "pulling the shade." I devoured the Xanth series as well as a couple of others. I abandoned them when the increasing number sexual innuendos began to bother me.

Though the writing style of Piers Anthony is usually not my forte; if you will, as soon as I happened upon the book Firefly, I was immediately taken with Mr. Anthony and was able to truely experience the brilliance that trembles in his mind. The book, however controversial it may be, and I assure you, it is not for the feint of heart, was a truely huge eye-opener for me, and for all of my friends that have read it. Would I allow a child or an adolescent read the book? Absolutely not. But, a young adult, commonly known as an older teenager, of course I would let them. Personally, I didn't have too much respect for Piers Anthony until I read Firefly. I'm not in the habit of reading Sci-Fi, mediocre fiction novels; the vast majority of them require no intricate thought processes or anything next to the matter. But, I digress- an author who can switch from pre-teen sciFi writing to adult, almost erotica stylings has my sincerest form of respect.
