I would propose something like this... R.E. Howard's Conan series. Fritz Leiber's Lankhmar series. M. Moorcock's Elric series. Lovecraft goes in as a "Legacy" though I've never read any of his stuff. J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit", "Lord of the Rings" trilogy & "The Simarillion" Anne McCaffrey's "Dragonriders of Pern" (which, I understand, besides being its own book, also has a collected compilation of 24 of her stories under that title) Beowulf Sir Thomas Mallory's "La Morte d'Arthur" Geoffrrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales" Anything by Shakespeare, but particularly "Hamlet", "MacBeth" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Anything by W.B. Yeats, but particularly, his anthologies: "Fairy & Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry", "Irish Fairy Tales" and "The Celtic Twilight." Stoker's "Dracula" (good add, delericho, I probably wouldn't have thought of that) Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" series. [EDIT] Oh yeah, and "Game of Thrones" if not the whole "Song of Fire & Ice."[/EDIT] Weis/Hickman's "Dragonlance: Chronicles" trilogy (the "Legend's" trilogy and all subsequent Dragonlance works are optional, imho.) Salvatore's "Icewind Dale" trilogy (leave the Drizzt/Dark Elf thing out or optional) Marion Zimmer Bradley's "The Mists of Avalon" (the Arthurian myth told through the eyes of the women: The Lady of the Lake/Morgaine/Gwenhwyfar) and "Firestarter" (the Trojan War/Illiad story seen through the eyes of Cassandra) [/QUOTE]
