I've never been a fan of Jack Chalker.  He's heavily into series, and like
most series, the first books are the most interesting.  I found "Midnight
at the Well of Souls" to be fairly good and "The River of Dancing Gods"
to be a moderately funny send-up of generic fantasy novels (although not
as funny as early Robert Asprin or any Terry Pratchett).

[C] == Story Collection.
[CB] == Chapbook (a very short book, or pamphlet).
rev == Revision of the other book.
