So do you have any all time favourites? As I said in Tim's David Gemmell thread Legend and Wolf in Shadow Enders Game by Orson Scott Card (my favourite author) Intervention by Julian May
And just to stir up a bit of the old controvercy I really don't like the lord of the rings )books and second two movies of the trilogy). While I think old Tolkien had some great ideas he really could have done with an editor (and Tom Bombadil could have done with a bullet!)

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is my all time favorite....I reread them every 3-4 years or so...The Hobbit as well....Although I could never make it through the Silmarillion without going all bleary eyed...

Lord of the Rings (i've heard that trilogy is bad name for it as its not trilogy..) and H.P. Lovercraft writings.. i simply love them, he was the man with same mind as me I was reading some other books, but those are my favourites.. ah, i also read Pratchett books while riding in Bus/Metro (sorry for all Pratchett fans, it wasn't meant as insult ) I also read historic books, but i think its too far from fantasy..

I realy like the Silmarrillion, it is heavy going but if you can sitck with it is a masterworks. Feanor's quest to redeem the stolen Silmarils is excellent. The beginning is the hard part for me the Music of the Ainur and the Forming of Middle Earth but again if you stick with it the tale is huge.
