I started about 2 years ago when I discovered pictures on the net by artists like Luis Royo and Boris vallejo. Then I started reading books and sort of got sucked in.
Then I saw Lord of the rings and that was it! Havn't been able to stop since.
If anyone likes fantasy I recommend the English writer Michael Moorcock. He does Amazing stuff.

i read fantasy novels off and on... my favourite author is by far David Gemmell... he creates aleternate realities and has engrossing characters that you can relate to (depending on the person)... favourite books are Echoes of the Great Song and Sword in the Storm, both i read cover to cover in a few days, although 1 year apart... might grab another one soon to read while high...
i've also read some Forgotten Relms stuff, it's watered down compared to most books i read but the relation to Baldur's Gate (best Rpg of all time) had me hooked...

fantasy art is nice. luis royo's work is my favorite.
Also here's an annotated version of the first few chapters of "Dragons of Autumn Twilight". Here.
(the url is in .pdf format so you need adobe acrobat reader to read it) Enjoy.

No problem man. I hope you have as much of a wicked time reading them did and still do. The characters are just soooo well done and the entire world that is made is just unbelievable.
