Raymond E Feist - similar recommendations?

I also like the Aurian series by Maggie Furey. At the time I got them it was the first female main character I had read. I re-read this series regularly

Love Feist here too! Others I like are Janny Wurts, Jennifer Fallon, Fiona McIntosh, Katherine Kerr, David Eddings.

I started the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan too and got up to book five. Just lost concentration on it, they are VERY long. DP got up to book eleven so he did better than I did Might get around to finishing it one day cause I can't leave the books unread once I've started

I second the David Eddings option. My Husband loves Eddings AND Feist! Belgariad is definitely a good place to start!

I absolutely loved The Magician. One of my favourite books for a while. Oh, how I wish I had time to read these days...

I enjoyed Eddings as well, but be aware that his books don't have the same scope as Feist's. Their best features are their accessibility - classic fantasy tropes, awesome characters, and a good read that you can put down and come back too later without having to work too hard to get back up to speed.

Love most of the people mentioned - did anyone say the Wurts series???

BW got me into Juillette Marillier, who I would also recommend.

If you are into one off books - Zettel and IV Jones are good.

Classics - how about Douglas Adams Hitchhikers, Asminov (must admit to only reading a few of these) or LOTRs???

DH liked Stephen King's Dark Tower - me not so much...

[The[cookie]Doctor]

He has just recently finsihed a LOTR reread!
And I can't get him to go near Stephen King.
He's very picky and doesn't like to try new things but im sure his mind will change after a few mornings of no books on the train.

I definantly would reccomend Ian Irvine, start with the first series of The View from the Mirror. I loved them. Dh and I would fight over who got to read the next one. He then has a second series years in the future and a third series which he hasnt finished yet.

The Stephen King dark tower series I am having trouble getting DH to read those aswell. I have read them all and I must admit the first book is really boring the second gets better, but then you get really involved after that. It is a challenge but well worth it in the end.

Goodluck, there are sooooo many choices out there.
