[QUOTE="Sir Whiskers, post: 1599241, member: 6941"] Based on what you've already read, I'd also suggest Eddings. Start with his first series, the Belgariad. If you like that, he (and his wife) have a variety of books in the series you can try. If you're in the mood to try an anti-hero, get Stephen Donaldson's first chronicles of Thomas Convenant, the Unbeliever ([I]Lord Foul's Bane, The Illearth War[/I], and [I]The Power that Preserves[/I]). Warning, this is not light fiction. Consider Gordon R. Dickson's [I]The Dragon and the George[/I]. Kind of silly, it's good, fun fantasy. If you like it, there are another half-dozen or so books in the series. I'll second LeGuin's Earthesea series: [I]A Wizard of Earthsea, Tombs of Atuan, The Farthest Shore[/I]. Warning: she's written more in this series past these three books, but has completely changed the tone in the later stories. Many long-time fans of the series hate the newer stuff (I haven't read those yet). Katherine Kurtz' Deryni Chronicles: [I]Deryni Rising, Deryni Checkmate, High Deryni[/I]. If you like those, she's written a lot of other books in the series. Katherine Kerr's Westlands books. Start with [I]Daggerspell[/I]. Not many people have heard of her, but I really like Susan Dexter's stuff. Try [I]The Ring of Allaire, The Sword of Calandra[/I], and [I]The Mountains of Channadran[/I]. Juanita Coulson's [I]The Death God's Citadel[/I] and [I]The Web of Wizardry[/I]. An interesting story of heroes who aren't perfect, but are still heroes. Not really fantasy, but I like them: Anne McCaffery's dragonriders of Pern books. Either start with [I]Dragonflight, Dragonquest[/I], and [I]The White Dragon[/I] for the central story. Or start with [I]Dragonsong, Dragonsinger[/I], and [I]Dragondrums[/I] for a more personal story set in Pern. [/QUOTE]
