Mercedes Lackey would have to be my all time favorite fantasy writer (Though Margret Weis and Tracey Hickman bring up a close second.) There just aren't many who can compare with the in depth Valdemar realm.

The Cynical Boardie Strikes Again!

This thread best belongs in the Books, Movies & TV Show Discussions Forum. Not only will it be more relevant, the chances of people actually interested in this stuff will be much higher.

Oh, I love Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman as well. Read their serie about Caramon and Raistlin and the others. Real good.

<font color="lightblue">Not exactly Fantasy/SciFi, but Agatha Christie; Enid Blyton; Emily Rodda; Roald Dahl; J.K Rowling; K.A. Applegate; and some Morris Glietzman [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

Hail to the almightly Tolkien! Rowling's pretty good, The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge is fantabulishous and, although it's not fantasy or sci-fi, William Manchester's Goodbye, Darkness kicks .... bum! It's a pacific war memoir... but it's not boring... he's a great author.

I've already read most of the dragonlance books..Oh oh...forgot David Eddings, he's great.

The BEST fantasy series.... (I've read a lot!)

Wheel of time series - Robert Jordan
Everything but the last 3 books of Raymond Feists series (Pug rules!)
All the Shannara books by Terry Brooks
The Earthsea Trilogy by Ursula Le Guin
Alvin Journeyman series by Orson Scott Card
Martha Wells - City of Bones, The Necromancer
And of course, Lord of the rings.

Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series ROCKS. Got'em ALL in hardcover and one autographed. I love the Dragonlance series. Anything by Weiss an Hickman. Terry Brooks is good too. Anne McCaffery is another good one. Just too name a few. All time fave character tho HAS TO BE Raistlin Majere. Very tragic.

Have to say antything by
Pratchett
Gemmel
Feist
David Mitchell (you probably haven't heard of this one, he's up and coming)
