I definately agree with the R.A. Salvatore collection it is gold

I especially enjoyed the Icewind Dale Trilogy, that was pure gold portrail of Drizzt and Bruenor was amazing i was quite impressed

What about Belgarath and the Riven Codex? I'll admit that the Riven Codex is pretty boring for the most part but I liked reading Belgarath's views on his past.

2. L E Modesitt Jr - Recluce saga

I don't know if you'd include Star Wars as fantasy but the Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn is excellent as are the New Jedi Order series. But I have a bone to pick with R.A Salvatore, the b@$#tard killed Chewie. DEATH TO SALVATORE!!!!
