If you like humor with your fantasy, try Piers Anthony's 'Xanth" series or Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld' series. Some here might recommend Glen Cook's 'Black Company' series, and, while I enjoyed it, I prefer his 'Garret, P.I.' stories instead. Try Stephen Brust's 'Vlad Taltos' stories, or his 'Phoenix Guard' tales for something that's a little more swashbuckling in nature. One of my personal favorites is Roger Zelazny's 'Amber' chronicles - although he's been dead for around 5 years I hope he's modern enough for you.<hr></blockquote>
I HAVE TO SAY - YES!!!
Zelazny and Amber, yes!! Glen Cook - serie about Garret - this is almost Chandler. Dark Company if you wish to know dark side of human nature.
Pratchett - more than fun, everyone should try
Eddings - Belgariad serie is good, next series are worse.
(OK, there are about 70 books above in these series
)
