Guy Gavriel Kay and George R R Martin..

I havent been reading fantasy for all that long so choices are rather limited..

[Sammie]

hmmmmmm.

Looking at my shelves, the authors i have the most stuff by are Eddings, McCaffrey and Pratchett.

My favorite books I've read in the last year-ish, though, are JV Jones' 'Cavern of Black Ice, Marillier 'Daughter of the forest' and Diana Gabaldons 'Cross Stitch' series. (This is not fantasy and is called Outlander in the US)

How can anyone choose one favorite out of all the great authors out there??

Sam.

[James Barclay]

Agree with you Sam, very hard to choose one.

Top three for me right now are John Marco, David Gemmell and Terry Pratchett with James Barclay coming up fast.

All time favourite is Robert Jordan http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/biggrin.gif.

Kate Elliott and Steven Erirkson are right up there with him though and Lynn Flewellings "Tamir Triad" might get her up there if book 2 and 3 are great.
