What is ESO?

This is interesting. I'm new to TI, and before I read your point of view, I was determined to oust any mage I came upon or suspected of being a mage. Thanks to your post, I see that there has to be a bit more consideration for the ecosystem of this delicate world we play in. Mages are a part of this...

I don't know where to start. I like to read but haven't read much fantasy or even sci-fi. Picky in looking for quality. Help me discover good fiction to get into that "mood" ...

Am I on the right track with this one?
