Yes, all of the Drizzt books are excellent. R.A. Salvatore has done a great job of fleshing out the Drizzt character and his companions. Anything written by Elaine Cunningham is a must read for me (Elfshadow, Elfsong, Silver Shadows, the Magehound, etc...). Also, the Elminster books by Ed Greenwood are great if you're into super-powered magic.
Ziroc, if you've read Cormyr, then you've GOT to read Beyond the High Road. It's the follow-up book to Cormyr, and it is excellent. Let me put it this way; in this book, you find out what can completely unnerve the wizard Vandergahast. There is a third book coming out, Death of the Dragon, which will complete the series (i think).
In short, i don't think there is a bad Forgotten realms novel out there, although Thornhold was a very dissappointing ending to the Harper's Series. Supposedly, Elaine Cunningham had to make that one shorter than she would have liked. Oh well, such is life.
Has anyone read any of the Dragonlance 5th age stuff yet? I'm very curious to see if it's any good. Personally, I think Weiss & Hickman made a terrible mistake in killing off the Heroes of the Lance and basically screwing over the world of Krynn in Dragons of Summer Flame. Any opinions on this? Could be an interesting topic for the boards...
