Re: Other Books

I was delighted to see the mention of David Gemmel. The sort of fantasy he writes is entirely different from JRRT's but they are cracking good stories. I'm also quite partial to Robert Silverberg's Majipoor books, which now stretch to six. Start at the beginning with Lord Valentine's Castle. When you've been around as long as I have you read a great variety of things, westerns, sea stories, history, mysteries and ghost stories. But JRRT stays shining brightly at the top.
