| Elite Fan   | Aside from your major authors, my favourite is C.S. Friedman.

| There are so many good ones it's hard to pick. I like: George R. R. Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series (when is he going to finish it?) Robin Hobb's 'The Farseer Trilogy' Juliet Marillier's 'The Sevenwaters Trilogy' __________________ avi - Henry Fitzroy of BloodTies Henry: I died and returned from death.

Of course I didn't follow this policy with George R R. I read the 'Game of Thrones' and loved it. Read the next 'A Clash of Kings' but although I have the next 2 I'm holding off reading them until the series is finished. Supposedly there was going to be 6 total but not sure now. Even if there will only be 6, I want him to go back and finish. The next, 'Dance of Dragons', supposedly will be out this fall. G R R Martin used to write TV scripts, one show was 'Beauty and the Beast'. I love his style of writing. Great dialog and action and not overly long description. Also his characters are multi-facetted. "Good guys" do stupid or evil things and "bad guys" do good things. He's also not afraid to kill or maim main characters so the story is not predictable. Like I said about BSG he's not for the faint of heart. __________________ avi - Henry Fitzroy of BloodTies Henry: I died and returned from death. She showed me the ways of the night.

| Elite Fan | In this case, you might have to break your rule. Wheel of time is a fabulous series, but will never be finished (at least not by Robert Jordan). The Amber series is nice too. __________________ "Be quiet brain, or I'll stab you with a Q-tip!" "Tact is for people who aren't witty enough to be sarcastic."

| Elite Fan | Heh, he's really long winded, but after a few books, you get used to it. I think theres' 20+ books in all. __________________ "Be quiet brain, or I'll stab you with a Q-tip!"

I'm actually curious if this may provide a more focused book than the last few. I suspect that Sanderson will have to answer to the editors much more than Jordan had to. I'm not familiar with Sanderson's work though. __________________ | |||

| Having butted into the conversation, I should answer the original question. If we're talking about all time favorites, it's going to have to be Tolkien. The Hobbit got me into fantasy books and I still re-read The Lord of the Rings. If I was going for current writers, I think I'd pick George R. R Martin. I'be been really taken by his Song of Ice and Fire sequence. __________________ | |||

| The first 6 or so books in The Wheel of Time are really good, but I don't care for the last few.  As for my favorite... such a hard question. CS Lewis, JRR Tolkien, George RR Martin... hmm. __________________ The Universal Friendship League? Could it sound any creepier? | |||

| Elite Fan | Hiya AE...how's it been going? I heard that Sanderson is doing it as well, but I look upon someone else finishing the stories the same way I look on all the Dune Books....I know they have their fans, but I'm not one of them. I doubt he'll have the same style that Jordan did....it won't be the same feel. __________________ "Be quiet brain, or I'll stab you with a Q-tip!"
