I would have to add Terry Goodkind and Robert Jordan to the list. I just finished Faith of the Fallen in the Sword of Truth series for the second time. I've read all but 2 and 4 of the Wheel of Time, and that's a good series as well.

Ender's Game was a good book too, as was any of the Forgotten Realms books. The Cleric Quintet was a pretty good story.

most of that forgotten realms stuff, if not all, epitomizes what is general wrong with the fantasy genre: one gay cliche after another

Whatever, in my opinion they are good.

Even Salvatore s stuff, which is clearly the best out of the bunch, has a major case of cheese-dick.  Especially the later spin-offs of the crystal shard trilogy

  Not much of a fan of the amber books, but this looks cool

1. I wasn't aware "cheese-dick" was an ailment that a piece of fiction could have. I already stated there are a lot of mary sue characters, whether you care about it or not is his opinion. Now stop trolling and keep this thread on track. This thread is about suggesting books, not warning against them.

Funny, I was actually reading about him yesterday, very interesting. Seems like it would be hard to find a lot of his work though.

"This thread is about suggesting books, not warning against them."

Wrong: it's about suggesting "good" books.  Hence, defining what is good, and what is not, is completely on topic

I totally dig all of the Ender's books, I think that they gain depth as the series continues, and that they really have something to say.

Any moderately stocked library should have some Lovecraft

Love the Craft, started reading his stuff around the same time I started smoking :stoned::thumbup:

You can read all of his works at http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/fiction/

There used to be a site called Dagonbytes (or similar) that had all his stuff before, but I can't find it on google right now..might be down

I prefer to read actual books vs internet but that's supposedly a complete list
