You can actually find most of his series in SAN book store. This will be a incentive, if you like it, you can keep it, if not sell back...

Do note that his books are not your traditional Fantasy Novel like Dungeon and Dragon. They are actually quite deep.

I think that might be the reason for mix review... certain ppl think that fantasy must be all about fighting and fireball flying here and there.

 

Unfortunately I am a book collector too...and I love the smell of crisp fresh paper...

Thanks bro, I always wanted to try Robert Jordan but was afraid that it is too long winded like Stephen Donaldson I tried his 2 books but can't take it no offence to any of his fans.

[Dymatize]

the wheel of time series is the 2nd best after the Lord of the Rings trilogy!

 

3rd is RA Salvatore's Drizzit series

 

You gotta read wheel of time, it gets abit messy with lots of new characters especially after book6, but still good!... now that Rand Al Thor has cleansed sadin... heheheh

[Noobcar]

I like Stephen Donaldson's Chronicles series for its anti-hero theme. Its long-windedness is there to "make sure" the reader "bonds" with each character before ... he crushes them.

OMG Raistlin Majere! I haven't heard this name in a long, long time ...

 

[Genie47]

Whatever it is, I dare anyone to post that they are reading the Twilight series.

 

Then we descend upon him and ravage him/her to pieces.

[Leclair]

my first favorite author was Raymond E Feist.

 

Then i picked up Robert Jordan and the Wheel of time.So sad to know that he passed away.

Now waiting to buy his last book at a cheaper price. Was at the airport and think it was close to $50 for the hardcover. Anywhere that is cheaper??

 

To me , my favorite got to be Wheel of time , Riftwar saga, and LOTR in that order.

 

Tried other authors but somehow they "seemed" too simplistic for me.

 

Another Long-winded author is George RR Martin and his A Song of Ice and Fire- a lot of side stories- love, murder, politics, magic, etc and long winded but not too bad.

 

 

Any others to recommend , other than those already mentioned?

 

[Weiming]

Jim Butcher's Codex Alera

Jennifer Fallon's Second Sons Trilogy

Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy

Melanie Rawn's Dragon Prince Trilogy

Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind

Mercedes Lackey Valdemar series

Deborah Chester's The Sword The Ring and The Chalice Trilogy

Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel series

and my favourite fantasy author Terry Pratchett

 

Favourite sci-fi author is Lois McMaster Bujold for her Vorkosigan series.

Raistlin is still around as you can see on and of he pop up in the War of Soul series. Infact he is one of the indirect major character that help to turn the tide (lead the God back to Krynn). Without his help, Krynn will be donminated by darkness
