| For those that are into fantasy books, which would you consider to be worth reading? Ive already read alot of Dragonlance and a few other various ones, but haven't looked much further than that. Ive also had a recommendation to read The Wheel of Time, but im not so sure I wanna jump into a 10+ book series... |

Terry Brooks!!
Start with 'Sword Of Shannara' and go from there; I think there are 14 books total in the series, spanning hundreds of years but you won't need to read them all in order to follow the story. Each book is it's own.

David Eddings Belgariad & Malloreon (8 or 9 books total)
David Eddings Elenium (4 books I think)
Robert Jordan The Wheel of Time (Unfinished Epic, 11 books now or so)
Terry Brooks is really good as Ygrene said, if a bit depressing.
Raymond E. Feist's Riftwar Saga
If you enjoyed Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's Dragonlance books, you should read their Deathgate Cycle series (they even have an incarnation of Fizban)
Tad Williams' Memory, Sorrow and Thorn books (First is To Green Angel Tower)
Frank Herbert's Dune series is amazing.
Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series...
That's probably enough for now, all of those are amazing reads. |
