Hey Didi, I'm new here too
Nobody has mention Raymonds 'other' book which I quiet enjoy. Faerie
Tale is fantasy set in a here and now like environment around a young
family. It's a one only so you don't have to commit yourself to too
much reading. Totally smashing story.

Belgariad's a must read... Also, please try Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth
series. Goodkind has a unique way of writing fantasy that has modern themes
twisted in without you knowing it. Also I was very impressed by the way he
handled sexual themes as well.

Do you find that the more you read some books the more details you miss the
first time around? I can only read a handful of books that many times .. the
rest will go to a corner of a bookshelf for ever. I will check that one and
see what is about,,thanks.

I do... when I find a book I really like I'll read it twice just to
make sure I got everything heeheehe. I have with most of Raymonds
books. Melanie Rawn is another favorite of mine in this genre. Tho,
I'm not up to date with either author  (

I don't hope that you mean you've read book 6 - because in that
case I swear taht we're quite a lot of people over in
news:alt.fan.harry-potter who would just /love/ to hear from you
As to the original subject, I have noticed that many Rowling and
Eddings fans (or just people finding them good) also like Pratchett
and McCaffrey.

Robin Hobb's the Farseer and Tawny Man trilogies are also a great read. So
is Steven Kings, The Dark Tower. Both these ARE fantasy series but they are
a heavier read than most.

That was definitely an error . I ment book 6. And believe that if I ever
read 7 before anyone else I wouln't say anything.
I have read a lot of people mentioning and recomending Pratchett. I will
get to him after Eddings and Feist since I have a few years before Rowling
finish 6 th .
