Katharine Kerr, most definately my favourite, and i enthusiastically recommend her to anyone who likes celtic/welsh fantasy. her Deverry series is phenomenal and though it takes most that i recommend her to weeks to get around to checking her out not one person has been disappointed. i just adore this series and rather wish i could wipe my memory clean of reading it so i can experiance it all again, fresh. followed by...
Douglas Adams, and the rest are in no particular order...
Terry Pratchet, though i've only read Small Gods i was thoroughly impressed. it was hysterical...
Dean Koontz, i like a good scare now and again...
Robert Jordan, no commentary that's worth writing...
Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, dragonlance was good but i prefer their Death Gate Cycle, though i STILL haven't read all of it...
Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange is the only thing i know by him but it's a great one...
George Orwell, 1984...
and the list goes on.

i like to read. :-D

Cheers
Kim

[EmeraldEyes]

David and Leigh Eddings
Mercedes Lackey
Anne Rice
Dean Koonz
Piers Anthony -especially the Incarnation series

Cant' remember the author but the Pendragon trilogy (Talisien, Merlin, Arthur) It is where I got my first Daughters name from. Charis was the atlantean princess, mother to Merlin.
