> The Wheel of Time series.

I would second (or whatever the count is) that; by Robert Jordan. It is a cross between The Hobbit books and the Dune books, with an extra 10,000 pages thrown in. Only down side is that Robert Jordan is sick and it is doubtful that he will be able to complete the series the way he had planned.

Definately

I didn't really like the sequals, the world Pullman created was such a cool place, I didn't want Lyra to leave it

i cant believe that no one mentioned douglas adams yet
he represents the lighter side of Sci-Fi. extremely witty and quirky and interesting.
He wrote Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy which was recently turned into a pretty shitty movie, although they tried. READ HITCHIKER'S GUIDE!! (in order) (there are 4 or 5 of them)
you definitely won't regret it.

Also, the douglas adams of fantasy is terry pratchett, who is one funny motherfucker. he has published a SHITLOAD of books about a fantasy world that he has created called Discworld. I suggest reading the Colour of Magic first and then randomly from there. Terry pratchett is good for a short, funny read, I pick his books up at the library all the time when im bored.

Not yet, my gf has it and when her stuff arrives in the moving truck ill be able to snatch it up and read it. She was the one who suggested to read gods and im glad she did, i had a real hard time putting it down.

I really liked the original UK version, but i thought the recent remake made for a decent watch if you were a fan of the series. I really liked mos def in the film and i thought they kept it as least as humorous as the original, but you're right in a way, nothing compares to the book. Adams is a great author, i got into him after reading holistic detective agency.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Philip K. Dick yet!
(unless someone has and I missed it.)

So, my favorite books by him are "Ubik" "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" and "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch"
