Yup good book. The first orginal fantasy written since Tolkien.
Feist has gone down hill as well IMO. The riftwar trilogy and the Kelawan (sp?) written with Marget Weis (i think) were the best.
Incidently i actually met him once, in Brisbane. Got my copy of Magician signed. Felt like a real geek then. 
Yer he has not scaled the hights of the rift war books but he is leading up to something huge and i cant wait. Bring on the Dark war. Man I whish i was tomas.

hehe, David Gammel is the trashy romance novelist of the fantasy world.
Easy to read, but really not much substance. Every single one of his heroes kicks prodigous ass. Druss & Skilgannon are the best. But not really a must read book, IMO.

Not spellbonding i now but as the first book i read i was blown away and i have stayed loyal ever since. To bad they will be no more with the late great David gemmel passing away. R.I.P
hey the Jereslium man books were amazing with jon shannow and the end of the world with the lost stones of Alantis being discoverd. am just a complete Gemmel fan i absoulte love them nothing brings me more joy than sitting down and visting some old friends i have't seen in a while.

I've just caught up on the Alex Cross back catalogue by James Patterson, most enjoyable, if a bit repetitive. I'm now onto the Jack Reacher thrillers by Lee Child, after them I'm back onto the Andy McNab books. Also like Micheal Connely's work.

Have you read "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley? deals with similar themes I suppose. Very good read.

i have not read metalhead's reccomendation. I have read 'Brave new world' and agree its good.
I think i will have a look for 1984.
Grayghost i am getting the shits with Robert Jordan, wish he would release the new books a bit faster. Been reading the wheel of time for at least 12 years (i think) and everytime he comes up with a new book, i have to re-read the series. (can't stand the clothing descriptions either)

I don't really read serious books, as I prefer to laugh a lot.
High Fidelity by Nick Hornby is a very good read. As a man, you'll identify with it, and women will learn a little more about us chaps!
Incompetence is f*cking hilarious, though. Absolutely freaking hilarious.

A Short History of Nearly Everything, is an amusing look through the major scientific breakthroughs (and collosul failures) of the last couple hundred years. He explains things in a fun and easy to understand way.
An excellent read.
Dan Brown is ok, good reading for travelling waiting in transit lounges etc.
aaah! sounds interesting, I will buy it when I go to a bookstore.
