I was mooching around the charity shops today - isn't Oxfam expensive?!

I decided I might as well go onto Amazon and find books for 1p + postage.

I discovered and old thread about what fantasy authors you all liked, so I have some Tad Williams on its way. Someone come tell me I'm doing the right thing?

I thought these by Stephen Donaldson were good, too.

Those Stephen Donaldson ones were good. I may have to dig them out of the loft when I get the Christmas decorations down.

Oh and I loved David Eddings Belgariad series (and others set in that world)

Definitely agree about the Belgariad series.

Third for the Belgariad. Another all time favourite!

Also would recommend the Feist/Janny Wurts books. As an aside, I met Janny Wurts, not at all at a fantasy/sci-fi convention, honest, [saddo emoticon] and she's lovely!

I've never been to a scifi convention, but those of us with scifi/fantasy names should stick together.
