Here's ten for you (counting the Amber 5 as one):
Lord of Light
Creatures of Light and Darkness
This Immortal
Doorways in the Sand
Isle of the Dead
Changeling/Madwand
Jack of Shadows
Amber 1
The Changing Land

Damnation Alley was an odd book out as far as his style goes. Also the only one made into a movie (I think).

So I just did a little Internet-Dance, where you start at one spot and go through a train-of-thought/brain-storming process and end out at a completely unexpected yet interesting and sometimes related other spot...

I found this:

http://www.nndb.com/people/704/000023635/

Seemed relevent to the conversation here. It's just a nice little bio on the good Sir Z.

I've been a huge Zelazny fan for many years, I started reading his books in the very early '90s, maybe late '80s... I was surprised to see that he was born in Euclid Ohio, that's just 10 minutes from where I live! Also sort of ironic that he was born in a town called Euclid and the Amber magic system is so very Non-Euclidean!!!(god I'm a dork)

Don't forget his short stories too.

If you can find it, "UNICORN VARIATIONS" is wonderful.

I felt that he was having a purple patch shortly before his death. My favourite Zelaznys apart from the AMBER series have been the more recent stuff:

"A Night in the Lonesome October"

"Donnerjack"

"Lord Demon"

Granted the last two were completed by Jane Lindskold after his death, but his style is still very apparent.

TAD WILLIAMS fans take note; DONNERJACK = OTHERLAND in one volume, and is better.

The Last Defender of Camelot is also classed as a short story, right? I own it, but haven't yet read it....

It's a short story, but also the title of a collection of stories (of which it is one). It's a good collection which iBooks has recently republished along with another excellent Zelazny collection, The Doors of His Face, The Lamps of His Mouth.
