What other fantasy books do YOU read?

Hobb is, I think, one of the best storytellers whose books I've read both inside and outside the fantasy genre. The story just basically reads itself and you can't help but just live with the characters. If someone out there is thinking about reading anything by her, I suggest starting with the Farseer Series because they are probably the best and they sort of start out the whole thing.

Sounds promising. Maybe I'll give her a shot after I finish school (and a load of other books on my reading list!) in a few months.
