Hi everybody, I'm new here and this is my first post. I love AD&D, although I havn't played the boardgames for 4 years now, but when I found out about Baldurs Gate I went berserk and I have all the infinity Engine Games now, and just finished BG2 this week.
Anyway, I just started reading the Icewind Dale Trilogy by Salvatore and I love it, I've already read Silent Blade. Now I'm almost done with IWD what should I read next? I was thinking Spine of the world, but I wonder were it fits in the story. Can you guys guide me... thanks.

I'd suggest the Dark Elf Trilogy next. Or if you want a break from the Realms check out the Farseer Trilogy thread below.

If you haven't read the Dark Elf Trilogy it's a must. Read that (Homeland, Exile, Sojourn). Then go to the Legacy of the Drow quartet (Legacy, Starless Night, Seige of Darkness, Passage To Dawn).

The next logical one after that would be Spine of the World, but if you're a big fan of Drizzt, Artemis and Jarlaxle, they're not in that at all. The next one they're in is Servant of the Shard.
