Ursula Leguin (authors name) is definately worth a look in.

Well while I have time as the server is down I thought I?d do a search for Terry Pratchett fans and I see a lacking in them. Well I love the books, the humour is second to none. I thought this place would be rife with them.

Hmm, May have to start a Fools Guild \"Guild of Fools and Joculators and College of Clowns.\" DICO, DICO, DICO.

Reply to below: I?ve only flicked through Gardens of The Moon but I woulod say that Erikson is one I would like to see more of.

Totally agree with Levski. Great book. I also have the movie recorder from the si-fi channel. Ursula gets 4 out of 5 rubies from Robin :)

It seems that The Wheel of Time is mentioned here a lot...Well time for another...mention...:P

It\'s a good series, long and complex, which is a good and bad thing, and suprisingly interesting, i currently read all book...and even one prelude. Yes I have to agree book 11 is only there to...bring the events together. I wonder when Jordan will decide to write book 12, it looks like it will be last one...or pre last. But he did say he was going to release another prelude...mehh

I\'m surprised that no-one has mentioned Andre Nortons\' Witchworld series. Good, enjoyable light reads.

What about Robin Hobb books, I read all 3 of her trilogies, which are pretty much one story line. Those books are fantastic too.
