Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Ah my favorite question! Dusts off the Fantasy book list!.!.!.!.!.!.

Dragon Riders of Pern by Anne Mcaffery
http://www!.iblist!.com/series130!.htm
Anne Mcaffery is one of those authors whose books just leave you feeling good once you read the last page!. While a combination of Sci-fi and Fantasy (the argument continues about which one it is) they sit on my fantasy shelf!. Anyone who has ever dreamed of riding a dragon should read these!.

Valdemar series by Mercedes Lackey
http://www!.mercedeslackey!.com/biblio_ser!.!.!.
This is a large collection and every book in it is excellent!. The concept of being *chosen* by a companion, which is essentially a telepathic horse with amazing powers, is delightful!. Once chosen you become one of the elite heralds, protectors of the realm!. Start with Arrows of the Queen!.

The Belgariad (5), The Malloreon(5), The Elenium (3), The Tamuli(3) by David and Leigh Eddings
http://www!.eddingschronicles!.com/index!.h!.!.!.
I can't say enough good about these books!. They are full of rich content, fantastic worldbuilding and plenty of sorcery!. One of my biggest draws is the humor, the interaction between characters can be side splitting at times!. They are rift with dry wit, affectionate banter and personal quirks!. My favorite books hands down!.

Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Mists_of_Av!.!.!.
I've always loved her writing, even her Sci-fi books and I'm not a huge Sci-fi fan!. In this book she gives a feminist light on the Celtic era where Merlin reigned supreme!. In a topic that has been done to death, somehow she manages to make it all fresh and new, and a great read!. there are more books in this series that she wrote with Diane L!. Paxton including a prequel called Forest House!.

Darkover series by Marion Zimmer Bradley
http://mzbworks!.home!.att!.net/works!.htm#d!.!.!.
I'm not a Sci-fi fan but I still loved these and sometimes the line between sci-fi and fantasy gets blurred anyway!. This is a huge series that can be read in any order since each was written to be a stand alone novel!.
Darkover is a planet that is in a state of permanent Ice Age!. The ruling class or Comyn, possess different types of Laran which are psychic powers!. There are several unique cultures and alien races!. Great reads!.

Riftwar Saga by Raymond Feist!. Start with
Magician: Apprentice and Magician: Master
http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Raymond_E!._!.!.!.
Pug, an orphan boy is apprenticed to a magician and begins a set of adventures with his friend Thomas as their world is invaded by aliens who enter through a portal!. These books were originally created as an alternate D&D world and quickly grew in popularity causing him to write a lot more books to add to the series!.

Forgotten Realms books by R!. A!. Salvatore
http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Forgotten_R!.!.!.
There is no easy way to summarize these books, the scope is just too large!. Best I can do is say they are full of adventure, elves, magic, and alternate worlds!. Once you start reading these you will find yourself hooked!.

The Wheel of Time (11 in print, 12th book to be written by Brandon Sanderson) by Robert Jordan
http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/The_Wheel_o!.!.!.
This huge sage takes place in a medievil type world where magic is called the One Power and can only be used by women!. Men who are born with this ability are fated to go insane, if they live that long as once found are usually killed first!. The saga centers around one man who, born with the One Power, is fated to save the world, while trying to save himself from insanity!. The first book takes off slow as the extensive worldbuilding begins to take shape but once you get past that part you will never regret it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
