Hee, hee...

LotR once again. And again, and again, and again... Like my English teacher said: "It's great that you take an interest in such a magnificent writer, just remember that there are other writers (and genres) out there too."

If I were to reccomend fantasy books, I have to agree with Elrian; Eddings' Belgariad and Malloreon are great series, and also his other series: Elenium and Tamuli.

Also, R. E. Feist is a writer not to be overlooked. Very 'existential-philosophical-mind-wrenching' stories.

As for other genres and the writers of these, have you read any short stories by Edgar Allan Poe? Or perhaps classical 19th-century 'classical' (seemingly tedious, yet not so!) English literature like Charles Dickens or Charlotte Brontë?

BTW: Calvin and Hobbes R-U-L-E-S!!!
