I've only read The Dark Elf Trilogy and The Icewind Dale Trilogy (the one I was talking about).

I'll have to check some of those others out. :icon14:
I've read all of the series except for the last in the Hunters Blade trilogy now. IMO they just keep getting better.

Edit: Just checked Jordan's site and the eleventh book, Knife of Dreams, will be out in October.
Bah, October. I was better off not knowing, now I'll be thinking about it every time I look at my shelf or go by a bookstore. lol

I'll have to check out more of the Salvatore series though - I've already been looking on Amazon, but I imagine I'll buy them locally. :)

I wonder if I can get the book without having to buy a D&D game... hehehe
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... s&n=507846 :)

its 'only' a description of the world.. atlas, encyclopedia, lore stories.
the game itself is acquired through 3 different books ;)

its a really nice leatherbound book with foldout map and full color pages :icon14:

It looks pretty nice. :icon14:

I still can't get over the fact that it say D&D in large letters across the top of the book though. :lol:

Not sure what the stigma is there, but maybe I'll buy it anyway. :)

That's also a very good series. The last one was a little meh, but I'm hoping he makes up for it in the next book.

Have you checked out the High Druid of Shannara trilogy yet? I read the first book and its pretty entertaining.
Yup read those when I was really young, probably one of the first fantasy novels I read.

The series with The Scions of Shannara? I enjoyed those, but I read them over 10 years ago.

There have been two more trilogies in the same setting since then ;)
