[QUOTE="cignus_pfaccari, post: 2378261, member: 14557"] ACK! (vomits) I HATED that book. Even if it is supposed to be a parody, it's still bad. I yelled at the guy who loaned it to me, and he just laughed. I have to second Terry Pratchett and Glen Cook (who has a new series starting, out in hardcover now!). I'm not quite so fond of Tad Williams as I used to be, but Memory, Sorrow, & Thorn and the Otherworld books were really good. The War of the Flowers was kinda eh. Now, for stuff I've liked... David Gemmell: Pretty much anything he's written, but especially [i]Legend[/i], [i]Echoes of the Great Song[/i], and the Stones of Power books...which go from Arthurian fantasy to post-apocalyptic Western Gunslinger novels, in the same universe. One warning, a lot of his characters and plots look alike. John Ringo: He's a pretty good writer of military SF. The Legacy of the Aldenata books are pretty good ([i]Gust Front[/i], the second book, being the best), and the Prince Roger books he writes with David Weber are also quite cool. The Collapse novels are okay, too. Thomas Harlan: He writes funky fantasy/SF alternate history with strong Lovecraftian undercurrents. His two series are the Oath of Empire (lasting Roman Empire with magic), and the Sixth Sun (Japanese-flavored Aztec starfarers), both of which are quite good. Also, read the Robert E. Howard short story collections. There are four out so far...[i] The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian, The Bloody Crown of Conan, Savage Tales of Solomon Kane, and Bran Mak Morn: The Last King[/i], with [i]The Conquering Sword of Conan[/i] coming this fall. They're all quite good, though I like the Solomon Kane collection the best, given that the later stories have continuity. Brad [/QUOTE]
