-Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind if you like great characters

-The Eye if the World if you like myriad plotlines (it's part of the Wheel of Time series - this early in the series it's fairly linear, but by book 4 the plotlines branch out in all directions)

-And I third the suggestion of the Shannara series.

Hmmm.... looks like I have enough here to last me a while...

I'll definatley get around to reading Wheel of Time at some point in my life as it has been recommended to me countless times.

If I see any of the Forgotten Realms books around I'll probarbly buy one, but I might have to wait until I move back to Wellington next year.

And World of Warcraft is probarbly the reason why I don't read enough... so I'll probarbly read that summary then.

Out of the three suggestions I gave you I recommend Wizard's First Rule as the best of the three. And from what I've read of your posts, Mitch (aka Supergyration) I think it would suit your personality the best.

Symphony of ages, definately. And maybe The Krondor books by Raymond Feist.

If you want some light hearted fantasy, go with Dragons Pawn by Carol Dennis. The book is funny and has the whole fantasy feeling to it. Magic and dragons and evil guys. Everything a mortal could need.

The Death Gate Cycle by Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis. It's a bout a war between two races of demigods, the Sartan and the Patryn, that ends with one race being imprisoned (The Patryn) in a world called the Labyrinth and the original world is sundered into four different worlds based on the classic four elements. The Sartan mysteriously disappear shortly after and as time passes, the Patryn begin to escape the Labyrinth. The seven books revolve around the Patryn Haplo's journey through the four worlds. It's a lengthy series but one of the few that actually kept my interest.

I usually hate reading fiction, especially fantasy and sci-fi works but this one actually came off well written and was one of the few fantasy stories that didn't reek of a Tolkein or D&D influence. It still has elves, dwarves, humans, and dragons but they come off a little more original to some extent.

All these suggestions are great.

The challenge lies in remembering them, finding them, then buying them

I'm not too hot at doing any of these three things but I should pull through.

The only major problem with A Song of Ice and Fire is that it is so bloody massive! Other than that it's amazing.
