I love that series. The Shadow series is great too.

I'm a Sci-fi Fantasy fan when I get the chance to read. Some of my favorites are:

Isaac Asimov
Robert Heinlein
Orson Scott Card
Dan Simmons

My favorite book(s) would have to be the Hyperion series by Dan Simmons

The More Than Complete Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy Trilogy - Douglas Adams.

I read it at least once a year and it never gets old.

Dooge I have loved every one of them I have read!

All time I would have to say that R.A. Salvatore is my favorite. Peter Hamilton is also a very good read for me.
