I bet you read the abridged Version of "Man in the Iron Mask". The complete version annoyed me to no end, because there were all those court ladies, loosing concious at every opportunity (especially whenever the king walked by). But I love the move with Leonardo DiCaprio.
You have to read Neverending Story! You just have to! The movie (the first one, not the american made sequels) is very good, but it can't really capture all the layers in this book. If you want to read about unusual creatures, the one in the movie are the least interesting of them. The book has very impressive ones.
Yeah, it's difficult to get CJ Cherryh complete works, they always seemed to be not available, but I have a nice little collection by now. And really, the foreigner series (Starting with "Foreigner") is her best work. It's a trilogy which became four trilogies (still waiting for the paperback of last part of the fourth trilogy). And no Sex at all until the sixth book, and there it's handled very, very tasteful. Well, the first trilogy is save for you for sure.
