I'm a big fan of the Dragonlance Chronicles by Weis & Hickman. But I really enjoy the Dungeons and Dragons type setting/fantasy aspect that their books are about. I'd highly recommend it. There are a shite ton of different books in the Dragonlance series that are all involved with the same world at different times with some overlap in characters and stuff. It's really easy to get dragged into these books.


The Legends Trilogy of these books are easily the best of the bunch, but Chronicles are not far behind and should be read first before Legends.

R.A. Salvatore's Drizzt books are also outstanding.

I liked the Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb and the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I'm going to read the Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson soon. It was recently recommended to me; I read the first 150 pages or so before Dance with Dragons came out and really enjoyed it.

Yeah, I was actually going to get those not long ago and couldn't find any but the 2nd one at the book store. I checked with my ebook Nook app thing on my iphone and they were due to come out as an ebook in a week (so they're out now). I ended up going with the Lost Chronicles as my second reading of the series and really enjoyed those as well...some of the old people are back in it which drew me in as I was really attached to that group of characters.

The books about the Twins are definitely up next in my reading of the series.
