OT: Any reccomendations for good fanatasy books

[Edi]

There should be a compilation of Howard's Conan stories without any mixing with other authors. And yes, they are very good. There are actually several editions of them by various publishers.

An excellent new series is Adrian Tchaikovsky's Shadows of the Apt series, (Empire in Black and Gold, Dragonfly Falling and Blood of the Mantis), which I would rank right up there with Steven Erikson, Glen Cook, Gail Z. Martin (Chronicles of the Necromancer series) and J.V.Jones (Book of Words trilogy and its sequel, the Sword of Shadows trilogy as well as the standalone novel The Barbed Coil)

The less said of Terry Goodkind, the better, and I don't particularly care for G.R.R. Martin's work either.
