I would say pretty much the same order. Three Hearts & Three Lions and Vance are way up there, LotR and Leiber's F & GM stories are...

Lieber is huge for D&D too. Greyhawk is a D&D version of Lankhmar, down to powerful thieves and assassins’ guilds being politically...

Ah right, of course. I should have asked the question differently. I am looking for additional slightly more obscure books to read. I am...

Hmmm, Vance's Dying Earth would've been my second pick. For third place, it'd probably have to be Lord of the Rings. Without it, you...

Just started reading the Fifth Season by N.K.Jemison, been on my to read list for a while but also found out been mixing it up with A...

Just finished reading Three Hearts and Three Lions by Poul Anderson. Great old fantasy book that was direct inspiration for some of what...
