    I loved the Dragon Prince/Dragon Star series.

    I still wonder if Melanie Rawn will ever finish the Exiles series. The Ruins of Ambrai was probably the first adult fantasy book I'd read ever read, back when I was 15; and the third book to that series still hasn't come out yet.

      I read the Dragon Prince series last year, it was fairly good.

      Just got a large shipment of books from Amazon.co.uk (got to love their no shipping cost promo). All in all it was eleven books:

      Crippled God - Steven Eriksson
      Way of Kings - Brandon Sanderson
      Line War - Neal Asher
      Horsemans Gambig - David B. Coe
      Watcher of the Dead - J.V. Jonves
      Chronicles of the Black Company - Glen Cook
      The Heroes - Joe Abercrombie
      Storm Front - Jim Butcher
      The Darkness that comes before - R. Scott Bakker
      The river of shadows - Robert V.S. Redick
      Return of the Crimson Guard - Ian C. Esslemont

      So my reading list for the next few months should be full

        The only one I recognize from your list is Storm Front and that was a good book!

          Hi all.
          Well from the Dark age of heresy in the WH40k universe.
          I'm now back in the 31st century and back in the Battletech Universe.
          I'm reading 'Assumption of Risk' by Michael A. Stackpole. One of my favourite authors in the Battletech Universe.

          I'm not perfect. But parts of me are excellent I also cook...!
          To thy own self... Be true
          May the odds.... Be ever in your favour..!

                I love that whole series! Too bad she hasn't written about this universe in a while. I keep checking the bookstores, but nothing new by her is ever there.

                    Finished reding "Line War" by Neal Asher which was another solid "Agent Cormac" book (last one of the series I think).

                    Started reading "The Crippled God" by Steven Erikson. Great series but so big and it's been so long since I started reading it that I've forgotten a lot of the details. It doesn't really help that Eriksson isn't big on reminding readers about what has happened before.

                      It was a fun read. I have one book of the Deryni series that I picked up at the library book sale of course it is the last book in the trilogy.

                      Currently reading The Secret Books of Paradys by Tanith Lee.

                            Oh, I totally forgot about the Anne McCaffery books. Those were great!. I actually have a first edition signed copy of White Dragon. It's buried on one of my boxes of many books.

                            Hmmmm, I need to reread the Feist Magicians Apprentice books again. Loved those.

                              I've recently started reading the "Malazan Book of the Fallen" series. It's quite hard work at first but now I'm into Book 2 of the first novel and really starting to enjoy it

                                Aw, lucky you! I haven't read that one yet, but I have it. Never got round to it...
                                I'll have to pick up the series again one of these days...
