Struck through books are the novels I am at present looking for- if you'd like to donate to this worthy cause then feel free to get in touch.
If you spot any howling errors in the suggested order of reading above then feel free to let me know, please however realise that I started out buying the books in the order that they were published. I'm now trying to target some of the earlier trilogies and series and fill in the gaps.
Again, if something looks really wrong then please offer an opinion.
Oh, and inevitably my pace will slow as I go on, although I've nearly broken the back of the first year (17 novels read in the first 2.5 months). I'm aiming to read fifty Forgotten Realms novels every year, but I have however given myself ten years to get them all done. We'll see... as I say quick to start but I know this is a marathon.
