Ah fanstasy/sci fi books....
I've got a whole bookcase filled with that...  Some fo my favourites: -Robin Hobb (Farseer trilogy, Liveship traders trilogy, Tawny man trilogy) -Robert Jordan (The Wheel of Time) -Tad Williams (Memory, Sorrow and Thorn series, Otherland series, The War of the Flowers) -Raymond Feist (All the novels/series playing on the world "Midkemia") -David Eddings (the Belgariad, the Mallorean, the Elenium, the Tamuli) -Julian May (The Exiles, The Galactic milieu, Intervention) -Jane Welch (Runespell trilogy, Book of Ond trilogy) -Jennifer Fallon (Second sons trilogy, Demon child trilogy) -Roger Zelazny (Amber series) -Frank Herbert/Brian Herbert (Dune and the prequels) -Ian Irvine (The view from the mirror) [heresy]The only series I have that was a huge disappointment to me was Tolkiens' The Lord of the Rings... [/heresy]

Lord of the Rings was a dissappointment to you?? I guess there's no sense recomending the Simarillion to you then... |

Just finished The Algebraist on holiday - sipping a cocktail on the deck of the QM2 outside Cannes. Not one of Banks' best, methinks.
I couldnt get into Ilium. maybe I'll go back and give it another try.

You only missed out 2 though... -David Eddings (Belgariad and Mallorean) and -Stephen Donaldson (The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant) I have to also add -E. E. Doc Smith (Galactic Patrol, cheesy sci-fi at its best) -Piers Anthony (His sci-fi and his cheesy pun-fest of Xanth) and finally ANYTHING by ISAAC ASIMOV the man was a genius. Melifluous
