What other fantasy books do YOU read?

[Salacia Deloresista]

As frustrated as I am with the extrememly slow pace of the books, I don't think I could stop reading the Wheel of Time series if I tried. There was something about the first few books in the series that just pulled me in, and ever since then, I've been hooked. Yes, they do obviously rip off of other wonderful books, but Jordan does it in such a detailed way that it pulls at the imagination.

I've been reading Tamora Pierce since I picked up Alana: The First Adventure at a third grade book fair. With the exception of her newest three books (which I have read) I own all the others. The rest of them are Ok, but The Song of the Lioness Quartet will always be my favorites.

I loved The Color of Magic. Terry Pratchett is another favorite. I haven't counted exactly how many of his books I've read, but it's well over half of the Diskworld novels. My favorites are Hogfather and any of the Sam Vimes books. The Color of Magic wasn't the best, but it was still better than Eric.

Some of my other favorite authors include Tad Williams, Orson Scott Card, Piers Anthony, Anne McCaffrey, Alan French, Howard Pyle, Mary Stewart, C. S. Lewis....the list goes on.
