I made this post[0], some time ago, and I think it dovetails nicely, here:

Exactly.

I read a book, where one of the characters is a smith. It has this exchange, between him, and another character:

    "Always do the very best job you can," he said on another occasion as he put a last few finishing touches with a file on the metal parts of a wagon tongue he was repairing.
    "But that piece goes underneath," Garion said. "No one will ever see it."
    "But I know it's there," Durnik said, still smoothing the metal. "If it isn't done as well as I can do it, I'll be ashamed every time I see this wagon go by -and I'll see the wagon every day.”

This was the quote that came to mind. I read that book many times as a kid and that quote really stuck with me.

Ah, Belgariad. I like David Eddings.

I liked the Belgariad, Mallorean, Elenium, and Tamuli series. The Redemption of Althalus was ... bearable.

I suggest avoiding The Elder Gods series.
