Actually I enjoyed The Dark Is Rising more than the others that I read. I think I liked it more because it seemed darker, and had more wizardry in it. Not the first time I read it, but later, when I read it again is whenI understood it. It's a lot more understandable on the second time.

My favorite sci-fi books other than LOTR would have to be the Shannara series by Terry Brooks.

I've tried the Prydain chronicles, but they felt too childish or something to me for some reason... I stopped reading in the middle of the second book.

Anyone read the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever? I'm reading book one now... hope it gets better. (I'm not really a big fan of fantasy - I prefer scifi.)

I just started George RR Martin's - A Song of Ice and Fire, and I must say that it is amazing.

I believe RA Salvatore is my favourite writer next to Tolkien. The Darkelf Trilogy is simply amazing. I love all the books I've read of him...
