[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 1928098, member: 70"] I'll echo Guy Gavriel Kay's "Tigana" (I like it all, but Tigana is the best), and Barry Hughart's "Bridge of Birds". Those two are probably two of the three best books I've ever read. A few other suggestions: Elizabeth Moon "The Deed of Paksenarrion". This is a trilogy that you can get in a single collected paperback edition for (well, my copy says $12.00, but it's at least 10 years old - ISBN #0-671-72104-6) less than $25. It's a classic. Michael Scott Rohan's The Winter of the World trilogy ("The Anvil of Ice", "The Forge in the Forest", "The Hammer of the Sun"). Good different fantasy. I picked up my copies in England on vacation 'cause the covers were sooooo cool, and got the 2 supplement books (not required reading!) via Amazon.uk. If you really want to get different, they're reissuing Robert Holdstock's Mythago Wood books. It's a quasi-ongoing series -- he's still putting out related books, but they're usually related more by setting than story. Look for "Mythago Wood" and "Lavondyss". I love CJ Cherryh's sci-fi, but her fantasy usually doesn't do it for me. Exceptions are the duology "The Dreamstone" and "The Tree of Swords and Jewels", and the sci-fi/fantasy Morgaine "trilogy plus one", "Gate of Ivriel", "Well of Shuan", "Fires of Azeroth", and "Exile's Gate". If you want to try her sci-fi, get the Chanur or Foreigner books. Any collection of short stories by Roger Zelazny. Enjoy! Nell. [/QUOTE]
