Recommendations for a good read?

"American Gods" by Neil Gaiman. Yeah, it's not DnD fantasy, but it's JUST. THAT. GOOD.

Can't go wrong with Gaiman. He's currently my favorite author.

I only ever read "Neverwhere". Did I make a horrible, horrible mistake, or am I not alone in not being even remotely impressed with Mr. Gaiman?

He isn't for everyone, but Guy Gavriel Kay is a great writer. After all, he was contracted by the Tolkien estate to finish the Silmarillion!

Elizibeth Moon has a few good books out and is well worth the effort on finding them.

I recommend David Eddings' Belgariad and Malloriad series. It takes 5 books to tell each story, but they're great stories.

First, my current favorite author is also Neil Gaiman. I'm reading his book of short stories now, have read everything else he has written (incluing the comics), the man is fantastic.

As for a fantasy series, I bought the following after very strong recommendations on these boards:

Steven Erikson's Mazlazan Book of the Fallen series: Gardens of the Moon, Deadhouse Gates, Memories of Ice.

I have not finished them yet, but they seem quite good. I believe they are available on Amazon's UK site, and may not be well available yet in the US in local book stores (I think they are limited availablility in the US right now, but I suspect they will take off and become widely available soon).
