Author Comments:
I am currrently on a "Classics" binge, reading "Howards End" currently, then I thought I'd read "Ulysses" seeing as so many book lists include it. I am always looking for my next good read, so those of you with similar tastes please give me suggestions!
Nice list. Having read my share of fantasy in my day, I'm surprised to see you list Eddings' Mallorean series but not his Belgariad series. Did you really prefer it?
I am embarrassed to admit that I did read both series a long time ago, and I think I erred in my list. I believe the "Belgariad" was the one I preferred, and the "Mallorean" was hard to finish. Thanx for the reminder...
