no order: Wot ASoIaF (the one i recommend most to people at work) Dark Tower HP Farseer/Tawnyman I have read Alexander's books. Good stuff. SOme of the first fantasy i have ever read. Black Cauldron is the best, i agree.

I have read: Martin, Jordan, Harry Potter, Hobb, Some Feist-but never made it past Riftwar, only the first Goodkind book, thats about it. (addition) Dark Tower series as well. Any help? Tried Malazan, but struggled. SHould i give it a second chance? Thanks.

i read both of the foer books. liked "Illuminated" more, perhaps because i read it first. He must be the type of author that whatever you read first is your favorite.

taking a break from school reading for the summer. attempting The Recognitions by William Gaddis. Rather daunting. In the queue is some Gunter Grass or Dostoevsky. Basically, a light summer.
