Need Book Suggestions (Fantasy)Follow

well i've been reading the dragonlance series recently and thought it was fairly good
the best ones so far i think are the ones by Margert Weis(sp) and Tracey hickman (sp) they usually write the main line of the series while otheres write side lines of it the starting books i believe are

Dragons of a Autumn twilight
Dragons of a Winter Night
Dragons of a spring dawning

There are a lot of books to the series and you can start in multiple side stories first however i believe these ones would give u a good idea about the story/history of the books if u decide to read them

As stated earlier in this thread, read the first 3 trilogies by Robin Hobb: Farseer Trilogy, Lifeship Traders, Fool's Trilogy. Those 9 books will keep you reading for a while. IMHO it's up there with the best the genre has to offer.
Another series I can greatly recommend, but it overlooked most of the time because the author is known as a horror writer, is the Dark Tower Series. It's a finished series of 7 books, and it's a wonderful mix of high fantasy, western and a bit of SF mixed in. Wholly refreshing after the bland "medieval" fantasy settings most authors come up with.

If you like SF, I can recommend the Malenfant series by Stephen Baxter. 3 books that are readable in any order, each dealing with the same protagonist, Reid Malenfant, but each set in a different parallel universe. Very well thought out, with novel scientific ideas.

Fred Saberhagen's Books of Swords were entertaining reads. I didn't really care for the Books of Lost Swords that followed, but the original trilogy was decent.

Piers Anthony's Xanth novels are very good. They aren't very serious, but are entertaining reads. His Apprentice Adept series is pretty good as well.

Stephen King's The Eyes of the Dragon was excellent as well.

Read the Dresden Files, I promise you wont be dissapointed.

Anything by Piers Anthony is FULL of win.

Anne McCaffery's Dragonriders of Pern series or the series that starts with Freedom's Landing (I forget the name for the series...it may be "The Freedom Saga" or something like that) are good and easy reading. Orson Scott Card's Ships series was pretty good, the first book being better than the others as is so often the case.

Farmer is good (I loved A Maker of Universes), be careful when reading Zelazny, he's a little nuts (skip "Night of Light" haha).

The Gaia Trilogy by Varley is fun: Titan was a decent book but the follow up, Wizard was a little weird (I think that an entire chapter devoted to the various breeding habits of Centaurs is a little overboard). I forget what the last book is called.

Ursula K. Leguin's Earthsea series is a must, though I admit that I never read the fourth book because a trilogy shouldn't have a fourth book, goddammit!
