Hi all

This forum looks like a great idea if you ask me, so what's better than starting off with a discussion about what our favourite books and authors are!

Well, here I go, my (current) top 5 authors/series.

1. Terry Goodkind - Sword of Truth
2. Robert Jordan - Wheel of Time
3. Robin Hobb - Farseer Trilogy
4. George R.R. Martin - A song of Ice and Fire
5. David Drake - Lord of the Isle

Hi people, I also liked the Sword of Truth. Has anybody read The Skull of Truth? I don't remember the author

[Bruddah Iz]

Doh

I liked the Chronicles of Covenant the Unbeliever by Donaldsson.
I also greatly enjoy the homouristic fantasy by Terry Pratchett.
Oh, Tolkien as well, although he has some better and some worse works.

I thought I might as well throw in my best 5 authors (not particularly in this order)

1 Terry Goodkind
2 Robert Jordan
3 David Gemmel
4 Raymond E Feist
5 Tad Williams

It's really hard for me to pick my Five Favorite writers, alot of times, I like one particular series by a author, but, not all his work.

Anyhoo, that'll be a new thread.. http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/smile.gif

In no particular order..

1 Tad Williams
2 Glen Cook
3 George R. R. Martin
4 Robin Hobb
5 Neil Gaiman

It's a tough call..

hello, all!

Well, I can't really list my favorite authors in order, so I will just put my top few, NOT in order:

Terry Pratchett, David Eddings, Robert Jordan, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Tad Williams, Piers Anthony, to name a few. Probably my favorite out of those would be David Eddings. Just thought I would throw their names in!

- Tad Williams
- Orson Scott Card
- Robert Jordan

Most of my list is pretty much like everyone elses. A few differences I guess. Just getting into David Farlands "Runelords". Book 1 seems pretty good so far. Here is the rest of my list:
David Eddings
Terry Goodkind
Robert Jordan
Raymond Feist
Piers Anthony
J.R.R. Tolkien
