Recently a friend turned me on (so to speak) to fantasy literature. In
the past few months I have read:
Chron. of Thomas Covenant (3), 2nd Chron. of TC (3), Riddlemaster of Hed
(3), The Apprentice Adept (3), Sword of Shannara, Elfstones of Shannara,
Legends of Camber of Culdi (3), Chronicles of the Deryni (3), Earthsea
Trilogy (3 natch), The Belgariad (awaiting final -- #5).
I am looking for recommendations from readers with simlilar interests.
Ther are so many fantasy/sci fi books on the shelves. What do you
recommend? (I'd be happy to furnish authors and reviews of any of the
above.)
Please reply via electronic mail. Thanks.

I'd like to see reveiws to at least some of the series you mentioned.
In addition I need some recommendations for some books to read in general,
both in fantasy and science fiction. I've just about exhausted my old author
favorites and I'm anxiously awaiting new books by them. Here is a list of
some of my favorites....reveiws can be furnished if requested:
Piers Anthony, Randall Garrett, David Gerrold, James Hogan
Ann McCaffery, Larry Niven, Alan Dean Foster, Robert Forward,
Lyndon Hardy, and Christopher Stasheff.
