I'll just go with the cream of my bookshelves.

Pretty much anything by Iain M Banks. Love his stuff..
Perdido Street Station by China Mieville blew my mind, The Scar and Iron Council by the same author are OK, but can drag. (though the golemist stuff in Iron Council is great)
Terry Pratchett, yup.. winner.
G.W. Dahlquist's Glass Books of the Dream Eaters was great, though poorly edited.. The second book in the series The Dark Volume bored my face off.
Neil Gaiman - American Gods, Anansi Boys, Neverwhere, Dark Omens.. Fantastic.. Must reread American Gods again soon.
Alan Moore - Sure, they're graphic novels but they need a place on anyone's bookshelf. The Watchmen, V for Vendetta and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.. Frankly, they make me moist.

Just for the pretty pictures I'll recommend the Doomed series of graphic novels, particularly the Ashley Wood book, plus Lore illustrated by the same. Actually.. Just buy anything by Ashley Wood.. He's great. Zombies vs Robots vs Amazons still makes me chuckle. Oh, plus Tank Girl, both new and old..

Apart from that my bookshelves are about 90% illustration books and assorted art and architecture tomes..

You're right. I can't top that. (Dr. Seuss is just totally unknown here, too hehe)


Wheel of Time, Robert Jordan. Hands down my favorite fantasy series ever. Despite it dragging on a bit in the middle.

Also a good sized collection of Eddings, And Piers Anthony

[nickbeat]

Loved the Elric series, and all of Peirs Anthony from Xanth silliness to the Incarnataions of Immortality series.

When I saw Hellboy 2, the main villain reminded me a lot and now I want to see that book made into a movie.

Other books:

Lord Foul's Bane, Ender's Game, Cavalier and Clay, American Gods, A Fire On the Deep

[Llew Hy]

Stephen Lawhead's Paradise War Trilogy. Its a really obscure series based on celtic mythology (not forgotten realms.) I've never really gotten into his other books but these have always been my favorite.

I've tried the Drizzt books by R.A. Salvatore but honestly, they suck. I only spent 5$ on them at wal-mart and have considered bringing them to the range for target practice.

[Gevaudan]

I own RA Salvatore's Legend of Drizzt Series and Sellsword series. On "Halfling's Gem" in Legend of Drizzt as far as readin through them so for.

Llew ... you suck j/k

I've tried reading a few D&D authors since starting to read RA Salavatores books and I've nearly fallen asleep through each one only his writing so far as been even remotely exciting. I haven't tried Ed Greenwood though and i've heard good things about his stuff.

I personally have alot of the Battletech books and white wolfs. Vampire , werewolf and Mage nobles and series also have Dune and other scifi type books.
