Hi and welcome to fantasy!

Why don't we start off with introductions and favourite books and authors?

I am going to be disgustingly unoriginal and say I love the Discworld series to death. I also crush on Lieber's Lankhmar stories pretty hard.

My favourites are ones I've seen mentioned above, and some that I haven't. At the moment I'd say that my absolute, total, unchangeable (until next week) favourite is Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series. Nothing terribly earth-shattering, but strong, believeable characters, and she has an engaging writing style/story.

Naomi Novik would have to rank up there, and I've just discovered a series I'm really enjoying: Michelle Sagara's Chronicles of Elantra. It's a bit more plotty and intricate than a lot of epic-style sword and sorcery, and the magic is incredibly complex.

And of course, the standards: George RR Martin, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett etc.
