"Ill Met In Lankhmar" still stands as one of the best fantasy stories ever written.Dunno how fast you read, but those will make you happy, I'm sure.You'd probably like Zelazny's Amber books, as well.Elric is quite a different sort of beast, and honestly not Moorcock's best writing anyway. I liked Elric A LOT when I was a teenager, but I haven't read it since then. But DO look for The War Hound And The World's Pain, which for my money is MM's best book, and one of the most interesting and powerful fantasy novels of all time.Gene Wolfe is REALLY different again. He's an AMAZING writer -- Steven Brust's particular idol, but not to everyone's taste. I think that if you prefer the earlier Vlad books to the later ones then Wolfe may not be your cup of tea. But try everything, see for yourself. I found The Book of the New Sun breathtaking.</blockquote>
