The series continues: What's your favorite book / writer?

[Shadwell]

I agree with most writers above, although i cant say I like that Shannara crap.

Have any of you read Robin Hobb? The Seer trilogy, fool, livingships and the warrior's son. She always writes trilogies and they are VERY good books.

Also George RR Martin with his Song of Ice and Fire series. I wish he'd stop touring and write more tho.

[Khaelieth]

I've read some Robin Hobb, but it's so long ago. What were they about?

Oh, and I absolutely hate R. A. Salvatore's style of writing, it's so melodramatic it's just stupid! And; he created Drizz't!

[Erik Arkay/Evinyatar]

Tolkien and Feist for me

[Garak Nightchill]

Fesit's early stuff is really good but the books he's written from Shards of a Broken Crown onwards have been distinctly inferior in quality.  And his continuity stinks, he can't keep his timeline or minor characters straight. 

George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire is excellent.  I'm a member of the fan club The Brotherhood Without Banners and have met the author on two occasions *hugs signed copy of A Feast for Crows*

Bernard Cornwell is good, his Arthurian trilogy The Warlord Chronicles is fantastic. 

Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen series is really good.

Robin Hobb's books are good though I've been disappointed in her new Soldier Son series. 

Jordan's Wheel of Time is good (the first 5 books are excellent, it then takes a slide until the 11th one).  Thr 12th one is due 2008 or 2009 I think, it's been considerably slowed by the author's possibly terminal illness.

[Kal/Mathew]

My Favorite books are:

All of R.A. Salvatore

Tangled Webs By: Elaine Cunningham
Dradons of Winter Night
Dragons of Spring Dawning
Dragons of Autumn Twilight By: Margret Wies and Tracy Hickman
And last but not least

Against the Giants By: Ru Emerson

[Shadwell]

George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire is excellent.  I'm a member of the fan club The Brotherhood Without Banners and have met the author on two occasions *hugs signed copy of A Feast for Crows*

The time he wasted signing silly copies could be spend on finishing a Dance of Dragons! Damn you!

[Garak Nightchill]

A Dance with Dragons   

[Conan Darkmoon]

My bad, I've forgotten to mention:

Neuromancer, Count Zero, Mona Lisa Turbo (William Gibson)
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe,
Life, the Universe and Everything,
So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish,
Mostly Harmless (this and four above by Douglas Adams)

[Khaelieth]

Aye, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is soooooo good. 42 ftw. The Bible's also alright, especially the part about Sodom and Gomorrah, where the Sodomites want to rape angels and it ends up with two daughters getting pregnant by their father...

[Mela Arkay]

Are you CRAZY?! Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy was boring though the robot thing reminds me of Hoagie.

Leave it to us Roman Catholics to lead the rest of the world AWAY from religion.
