I recommend you to start with the Sil, because I bet it's the best...

You're right, Thinlomien. Children of Hurin will come up before I know it, and I be out at Border's once again picking up another book to add to the I-have-yet-to-read pile...

Which books do you already have there? (Tell me and I'll tell which you should read first... )

Not, if you're quick. Start with Tolkien. (Yes, I'm obsessed. )

I can recommend Narnia and have heard lots of praise for Dark Elf trilogy and Black Tower.

Thumbs up

I'll take your advice! I am sure that The Sil will turn out well..(it is Tolkien... how can it not!?) I just have to finish up Eragon because the movie is said to come out in the near future. Also, I put in Sphere and Congo by Michael Crichton. I will go with those last, because fantasy is almost always better.

Sil is my favorite book, if I were you, I'd toss Eragon out of the window and start reading Sil... I was really shoked when I read Eragon, and even more shoked when I heard that they were making a film out of it... Eragon is a book that has most of the things mentioned here that I have read... Well, ok, after LotR, but there sure is a difference.
