[QUOTE="ShadowDenizen, post: 4479159, member: 16485"] As a rabid bilbiophile, I'll put aside the obligatory classics like Zelaznys' "AMber", Leibers "Grey Mouser" stuff, RObert E. Howards "Conan", Moorcocks "ELric", etc. The authors I (try to) keep up with currently? In no particular order: 1) Tad Williams 2) Janny Wurts (her "Wars of Light and Shadow" is simply brilliant.) 3) Gene Wolfe (just ordered his new book, which is said to be a mix of scifi/detective fiction/Lovecraft.) 4) Naomi Novik- Not a fan of "alternate history" in general, but the Temeraire series really grabbed me. 5) Brandon Sanderson 6) David Farland: Still digging the Runelords series after 7 books. 7) Jim Butcher: The Dresden files also still captivate me. 8) Steven Erikson: Yes I know the "Malazan" series has it's detractors, but I've loved the series to date (haven't read Book 8 yet, though.) 9) EE Knight: THe Vampire Earth series is quite enjoyable, in a "popcorn" kinda way. I used to like Laurell Hamilton, but both her "Merideth Gentry" and "Anita Blake" series became too much like reading soft-core porn for me to continue. I read the first few "Sword of Truth" books, but those went downhill quicker than the "Wheel of Time", so I gave up on that, too. [/QUOTE]
