I'm running out of things to pick up and read at my library, and the thread about the Icewind Dale Trilogy shows that you guys really know your books.

I was wondering if you could maybe recommend me some to read?

I'm about to read the latest two books in Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series, I've got a great list of Robin Hobbs books (the 9 or so following Fitz), I automatically buy any new Terry Pratchett book, I quite liked L.E. Modesitt jnr.'s books (e.g. Towers of the Sunset), I think there was a Richeard Gemmel I read not too long ago that I likes, Dianna Wyne Jones' adult ones are pretty good, Susanna Clarkes Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norrell was superd (one I would recommend for you), Robert Silverberg's Lord Valentines Castle (the rest of the Majipoor things I have still to read), a great book about guys on a ship whilst some weapon (some kind of suit of armour) destroyed whole continents in rings of fire that became bigger every week or so (the name of which I've forgotten - the book was the first in a trilogy)...in fact, I will read any good fantasy book.

In the Icewind Dale Trilogy thread there's mention of R.A. Salvatore's other books following Drizzt, Weis and Hickman's Dragonlance thingies, the Tripod Trilogy, A Game of Thrones, A Calsh of Kings, and A Strom of Swords.

These will probably be enough to keep me going for 5, 6 months or so, but I would like a list of books to read in the future for when i've read these.

Of course, I don't only read things like these, I'm a fan of the Artemis Fowl, Alex Rider and Harry Potter series, and I'd quite like to get my hands on the sequel to Catch 22,but a few months of readin nothing but Graham Greene has put me off them for a time.

Any ideas??
