Well, kudos to Dain for reviving this thread!

Those are some great myths (or stories, whichever you prefer) Kalessin.
I'm surprised that only one person (Hilde Bracegirdle) has mentioned Richard Adam's novels. Forgive me if others have too, while reading 5 pages I might have not noticed it.
Watership Down is my favorite book excluding Tolkien's works.
The Plague Dogs is great also, I reccomend that you finsih it Hilde Bracegirdle. As for
Shardick, I never read that. And have you read
Tales from Watership Down? It's the sequel to
Watership Down, but I'm not sure if it's good or not.
Other books I enjoy that aren't fantasy are
Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt,
Dubliners by James Joyce,
The Call of the Wild and
White Fang by Jack London, and
Dracula by Bram Stoker. That's all I could think of off the top of my mind.
