Book recommendation
After ready the current book thread I was hoping to get some specific recommendations based on my favorite authors list. I'm always looking for new (or new to me) authors to read. I like fantasy epics, my favorite authors are:
Elizabeth Haydon Jaqueline Carey Robin Hobb Tolkien Terry Brooks Terry Goodkind Angus Wells (The Lords of the Sky is one of my all time favorites) George RR Martin Patrick Rothfuss I cut my teeth on Dragonlance books, so I've considered going and reading all of the Forgotten Realms books. Any recommendations would be welcome. Thanks! | ||

David Drake has a series that's called Lord of the Isles that I really liked when I was younger, and Fred Saberhagen has a Book of Swords series that is very good, including all of the stories.

Get you some Asimov. He is really popular as an author for a reason. A great deal of his works are merely short stories that you can easily jump into, and jump out of should you not like any specific one.
A great deal of his work is hard to say why it is good, but perhaps no series of his is more popular than Foundation. Pick up a copy of Foundation (the first 4 short stories in the series), and read the introduction + the first 2 short stories. If that doesn't hook you on Asimov's stuff, it just isn't for you. Believe me, this book series beat out Lord of the Rings for the Hugo Award for Best Series of All Time, and it deserved it, lol. | ||

You can read the dragonlance series - that would keep you busy.
