A big second to Robin Hobb, she's a very talented writer. I chewed through the Liveship series and just finished the first of the Assasin series in 3 days. I fear that like George R Martin I'll devour all of Robin's works and will have to wait impatiently for her next book. I'm a shamelessly picky reader... if the author isn't up to par I chuck the book after a few chapters, if he/she is good I'll read everything they've written in a matter of weeks/months.
In an effort to get enough good authors in the pipeline that I have more than one book a year coming out, I've been buying recommended authors from this site up and trying them out (Robin is one of those). Right now I've got my first Tad Williams series sitting at home ready to be taken for a test drive. I bought the whole "Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn" series at once because based on the feedback for the guy... it saved me a couple trips to the bookstore. [img]smile.gif[/img]
