Cleric Quintet is pretty good.

Redwall is not unless like you're 10 (*PEER VIX*). Xinael, skewer away. (Plus, Shamarah's already read them. )

For someone new to DragonLance, here's what I recommend:

Chronicles Trilogy (Dragons of Autumn Twilight, etc.)
Legends Trilogy (Twins, etc.)
Do read the short story book between Legends and Dragons of Summer Flame
Soulforge, Brothers in Arms (not as good)
Some of the independent, post Summer Flame books are good (the Draconian books)
Then, if you like the characters, read the (not as good, warning - different authors, so there's a lot of fibbing, etc.), Meetings Sextet, Preludes. When you're ready to stop reading and get over it, jump back to Dragons of a Vanished Moon, etc. They are writing new ones, but after that trilogy, I'm done. Bleh. Bleh bleh bleh bleh.

Doesn't help I was REALLY into it at 12-15, and read the most recent trilogy at 18-19.

They're writing new ones? I thought the twins were the last ones they were going to write. That's what it said in the note at the back of "test of the twins."

That was in the 80s

I owned 75-80 at one time.

And if you really like Hickman and Weis, they also wrote the Death Gate Cycle. And other stuff.

Couldn't get into the DGC...only read one book though. And I was a bit younger then.

(And damn their lies. I didn't know there were more. Then again I read preludes first, which was nice.)

*still reads Redwall at 20*

I highly recommend that you read Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez. A guy I know sent it to me, so I think both men and women can enjoy it. It's a really romantic book, but not gushy chic-flic-esque romance. It's also humorous and just plain...really awesome.

I'm about halfway through with it and can't put it down.

Also it was the book that the girl in the movie Serendipity wrote her name in and left in a bookshop. The movie was very loosely based on it I believe. It sort of is, when you read it you can kind of understand the connections.

But-but you're supposed to like them too, Mr. Fuzzy.

And hey, I think I actually started reading those at 10.

Has anyone mentioned The Time Traveller's Wife? I absolutely loved that book, even with it being endorsed by book clubs and things that normally make me think a book is crap.

Oh! Oh! You just have to read "The Rose Compass" I forbide any of you not to!! *snuggles the book and snarls at anyone who tries to take it from her*

Here is some really good books:

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrel by Susan Clark
- Best piece of godd**m work that I have seen.

Harafish

Gunslinger

If you want, Dante's Inferno, Indiana Edition...

The Philosopher's Alice

Moon Island

The Ghosts of Sleath?? Need to check on the name...

Any Magic: The gathering anthologies... Some of the writers are really good, and you don't need to know much about the game to enjoy it...

Five-Quarters of an Orange

... there are several more you would enjoy I believe...

That series kicked serious ass. I loved it. Sadly, I started with the second book, then read the fourth, so the first and third (Air and Iron) were not read very well.

Gates of Fire
The Deathgate Cycle
Vampire Chronicles
Forgotten Realms Empire Trilogy
Darksword Trilogy (which has a fourth book that came later)
Enders Game, Enders Shadow and the third one I forget
Xanth series I heard is good, haven't read any of em myself.
Every Dragonlance book in existance
Anything by Margaret Weis and Tracey Hickman

Shadow Puppet.

I'm too lazy to read all this right now, so I'll just list off some books I loved.

Robin Hobb and Robert Jordan were already mentioned (reading Crossroads of Twilight or whatever it's called right now, actually).

Traci Harding - The Dark Age trilogy, The Celestial Triad, which follow on, and also the Alchemist's Key, which is a single book.)

Sara Douglass - The Axis Trilogy, Wayfarer Redemption trilogy, Beyond the Hanging Wall, Threshold, the Troy Game quartet (only the first three are published so far, Hades' Daughter, something I can't remember and Darkwitch Rising).

Anne Bishop - The Black Jewels trilogy (Daughter of the Blood, Heir to the Shadows, Queen of Darkness), House of Gaian trilogy, and oh, well, anything else by her.

Raymond E. Feist - all of the Riftworld books (and the trilogy with Janny Wurts, Daughter/Servant/Mistress of the Empire)

Terry Brooks - both original Shannara series, (haven't read the newest yet) and the Magic Kingdom books

Marion Zimmer Bradley/Andre Norton/Julian May - Black Trillium, Blood Trillium, Sky Trillium, Golden Trillium, Lady of the Trillium(?)

I'll think of some more later, maybe.

Can you tell I've spent seventeen years of my life doing nothing but reading?

Ooh, yes, I thought of another one, and I don't have the patience to wait for the edit screen to load.

Fiona McIntyre - some trilogy with the name Betrayal as one of the titles.

Tad Williams - the Otherland quartet

Ian Irvine - uhh.... Shadow on the Glass, Way Between the Worlds, Dark is the Moon and something else, not in that order. Geomancer, something, Scrutator and Tetrarch

Andre Norton and Mercedes Lackey - Elvenbane, Elvenblood and Elvenborn (though Elvenborn is apparently not as good as the first two)

*thinks of her extensive collection of books*

I can't remember. That'll do me for now.

The first couple are decent, but the series as a whole sucks.

If you haven't read them yet, you should try 'Da Vinci Code' and 'Angels and Demons' both by Dan Brown. Great books.
