I thought that Craig Clark article was very amusing (especially the part about Éowyn [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img])

Some more good fantasy to consider is Neil Gaiman, definitely not your run-of-the-mill-swords-and-sorcery-Tolkienish-copy-cat stuff. I've read Neverwhere, Stardust and American Gods. All are highly recommended (though, to give fair warning, Rated R for graphic violence and sexuality).

And then, The Sevenwaters Trilogy by Juliet Marillier: Daughter of the Forest, Son of Shadows and Child of the Prophecy. Though the idea of a trilogy seems to be overdone, they are very good books. Very little magic, actually. Excellent characters.
