Well, what are some good fantasy books. I'm reading The Two Towers in the LoTR trilogy, and finished the hobbit n the Fellowship. What else should i get? I have the IWD book by Salvatore also with Drizzt.

I recommend the Dragonlance Trilogy. Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of WInter Night and Dragons of Spring Dawning. A great intro into fantasy. If your into a less magical kind of fantasy I really recommend the Assassin Trilogy by Robin Hobb, it ranks as one of my favourites. If your looking for a laugh check out Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, simply hilarious.

OH, i read the Dragonlance trilogy. BIG SPOILER: Liked it, but Sturm Dies. Well anyway, the trilogy was good, especially with the crazy gnome, Fizbane i think.

I strongly recommend the fantasy/horror novel The House on the Borderland by the author William Hope Hodgson. It's not a thick novel. Takes you on a roller coaster ride through time and space to the destruction of the solar system and other breathtaking cosmic spectacles in the later chapters. Try it.

You might want to add spoiler to that. And wasn't Fizbane the human archmage? Raistlin alone makes it worth reading though.

There's also Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast Trilogy or the Earthsea books by Ursula K Leguin. Both are classics.
