[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 1674188, member: 2205"] Tolkien is all time favorite. I've also enjoyed Raymond Feist, in the same vein (D&D-like fantasy), Bernard Cornwell (historical fiction), Robert Asprin (the M.Y.T.H. books are classic), and lots of others. Fairly lush. For instance, although I really liked the stories, Glenn Cook really kinda turned me off with the sparse, Spartan nature of his prose. I like intricate, political, intrigue driven plots as well, although a good straightforward hack-n-slash is fun sometimes too. I don't read novels nearly as much as I used to; it's too time consuming and too easy to get distracted by real-life, dropping my books halfway, unfortunately. Comics are easy and fast to read, but not as satisfying, for the most part. I watch very little TV, but both my wife and I are movie junkies. I see very little theater, but not for a dislike of the medium, just for lack of good options. I actually read more non-fiction than fiction these days. Like someone mentioned already, I'm finding fewer and fewer fantasy that I really like. I was especially disappointed in Terry Goodkind, after thinking millions of buyers must know something...
