OK, thanks Pax and Zeddicus. I'm gonna go ahead and put it on my list of books to read. Looks like Goodkind and Jordan will be awhile getting their next books out. I need to read the second book of The Runelords and then I'll be free to venture into something new. I'm thinking about reading Lord of the Isles by David Drake. Anyone familiar with this?

[Zeddicus]

If your anything like me, you'll read quite a few before the next Goodkind and Jordan books come out.

So tell me, what type of magic spell are you using to create those spiffy little smiley faces?

[Pax]

I like to call it the Cone of Col'on'Brac'ket... namely, a ":" followed by a ")". Sans quotation marks, of course. http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/smile.gif

There's a whole pile of other smileys, most of 'em variations on the colon-letter combination. I'm far too lazy to type them out here though.

I would really sugest you read the exile duology by angus wells its an awsome series.

If you have not read the Belgariad by David Edding, you should give that a try. Piers Anthony is really good for the first 2-3 books in a series, after that he REALLY starts to go downhill. I mean fast! http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/biggrin.gif The first few Xanth books are worth reading if you are in the mood for some humor. Terry Pratchett is another great fantasy humorist. I agree with Dragon, Legends is a great way to become familiar with some authors who you may not have checked out otherwise.
