Saw Glen Cook and had to register to finally vote in a pointless thread. As much as I love Pratchett, The Black Company is an amazing series that I re-read more often than others and still enjoy it very much. Not sure who to downvote so I trust the paladin hate.

I read The Silver Spike without having ever read any Black Company and I loved its embrace of weird, high fantasy (which is something a lot of other "grim and gritty" authors like Abercrombie don't do). I never went back and read any of the original books.

Cook's early Black Company books are amazing and drew me in so deep. LeGuinn was one of the authors I was told I MUST READ. Then I bought Left Hand of Darkness in HC and good lord did I hate that book. Can't say I ever went back to her after that.

Say what you will about King, the dude finishes what he starts. The Dark Tower will still be standing long after the unfinished works of Jordan, Martin and Rothfuss have been forgotten.

Edit: for rzcarnac cross post. Also, because I just realized that Rowlings isn't on this list. Very odd omission on the part of WotC.

Ahmed, Saladin 20
Alexander, Lloyd 21 The first fantasy author I read. The Prydain series is great, and still holds up. Besides, an upvote here is an upvote for Gurgi, and who doesn't love Gurgi? Also, it was revolutionary for it's time in that the toughest, smartest, most independent personality in the book was a girl, even if she wasn't the main protagonist.
