Feist is very very good. i think the only reason he is not mentioned is he is so well known.

I am surprised KO does not have a hero named Pug or Calais.

Feist? as in Raymond E Feist? Unknown? On which planet? Surely not Earth. He might not have sold *quite* as many books as Jordan or Martin, but it would be a close race.

If you look at some of the slightly older incarnations of this particular thread...and I can't help but grin at mentioning it...such as the OT Malazan Book of the Fallen, you'll find we've had some quite lively discussion about Feist, Jordan, Martin, Erikson, Williams, etc.

Will some kind administrator please sticky this thread already? It's head keeps getting chopped off and growing back with a new name, Hydra-style.

I loved the Icewind Dale books growing up, and found them much more to my taste than the Dragonlance ones. I very strongly recommend David Drake's King of the Isles series to any R.A.Salvatore fans out there.

We're not stickying threads like this because the top of the forum would get unacceptably cluttered. The current stickies are enough. If it wewre down to the moderators, there'd be three less than now, but we have orders with sound reasoning that prevents it from happening.

I wasn't really serious, Edi. Although it would be nice to have something stable that reflected the attitudes of the forum towards the subject matter and spirit of the game, so that we didn't recycle the same information over and over to every eager new person. Not that it's not fun to talk about, but it's the same conversation every six months or so.
