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.

I discovered Lankhmar through the Discworld, and yeah, the Leiber books are pretty cool :D.

Current favourite fantasy books include A Song of Ice and Fire (get on with writing, George!), quite a lot by Neil Gaiman, Pratchett (obviously), Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, and I will happily admit that I love David Eddings' Belgariad and Mallorean, those books were an excellent introduction to the genre.

I couldn't finish the ASoIaF first book, which made me really sad. I loved the writing and the characters and the setting, but politics is one of my least favourite things to read about ever and I just couldn't struggle through that for the yummy stuff. :(
