-drops a three story stack of books in front of her- owo
I like alot of 'younger' kids books, which is what I'm reading lately just for the heck of it..The last series I read(I think) was Percy Jackson and the Olympians, because I love greek mythology and such. ^^ I was pretty suprised, I thought it would be pretty juvenile sounding, but the series rocked! :angel:

I'd recommend anything writen by David Gemmell.

He is a master of heroic fantasy.

There's been too many to state a favorite, so I'll just settle for what I'm reading currently.

Children of Hurin by Tolkien
Dune by Herbert
Master and Margaret by Bulhakov
Brides from Stepford by Ira Levin
The far rainbow by A and B Strugatzky brothers

Ok, I've made up my mind. Lately I really like fiction from the period between 1950s and 1990s from estern Europe and Russia. It's excellent. Take the Strugatzky brothers. One is a physicist the other an astronomer. Together they wrote incredible stuff. Should anyone of you come across one of their books, I recomend reading it.

Wow Gareth you just kinda jumped right into the series lol. If your intrested in that line of Salvatore's novels the first is Homeland, that really those three are more a prequel series to the Icewind Dale Trilogy

:love: Liriel[/quote:gzhkqs3l]

I've not read them yet. :-[

But I do want to track them down. I certainly loved Elaine Cunningham's [i:gzhkqs3l]The Radiant Dragon[/i:gzhkqs3l]. There are no drow in that book, but it does contain a powerful female lead in the form of Celestial Nightpearl (a powerful space dragon who likes to disguise herself as beautiful women). :love:
