Anyone know how far Xanthony's gotten on his Magic of Xanth series?  Last
I knew, he was up around book 14 or so (and this was a few years ago),
and still going.  After reading a couple of those all the way back in
Junior High, I couldn't stand his bad humor any more.  His other stuff
was decent, though...

I used to like Xanthony... but late Xanth and late Incarnations of 
Immortality soured me so badly on the excesses of his writing style that 
I haven't really been able to enjoy his writing since.
