OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

I'm reading one of Eddings series for prob the 5th or 6th time, as I'm really just not sure about most of what I see at Borders or Barnes & Nobles. Any suggestions short of the most obvious Tolkien stuff?

Gormenghast, Mervyn Peake.

I read it about 10 years ago, but remember really liking it.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

I recall quite liking at least the first three Thomas Covenant books as a lad. Don't know how it would hold up after all these years, but apparently Stephen Donaldson is still cranking them out.

I reread the first three a few years ago. Still pretty good. The second trilogy was a letdown if I recall (but I never reread it). I hear there's a third one, but I haven't seen it.
Take that, Adolf Eyechart.
