fantasy
I'm always looking for some good fantasy novels to read. Anyone have any suggestions? I like all types, though I'm more partial to sword and sorcery and epic fantasy over urban fantasy.

Do you know if they have a text only version of that page (or even a version without pictures of the book covers)? I have dial up, which makes it very hard for me to access a lot of recommendation pages. I've read quite a bit of fantasy; I'm pretty much looking for stuff that others have read and liked.

Some classics and more recent works I enjoyed : Robin Hobb : Royal Assassin (long series)
Ursula Le Guin : Earthsea first trilogy
Fritz Leiber : the books of Lankhmar
George R.R. Martin : Game of thrones (long series)
Jack Vance : Lyonesse trilogy
Janny Wurts : War of Light & Shadow (long series)

Thanks for this list. I've read some of these, but a lot of them, I haven't. Also, books for younger readers doesn't bother me at all. I like fantasy for all ages. :)

Thanks to Aude as well. All recommendations help. I think I'm going to have to spend more time at the book store, so I know what I want to read. :)

I second the suggestion for Robin Hobb's Assassin's Apprentice (or the complete trilogy).

Some more fantasy I've enjoyed :
• The "Gentlemen Bastards" series by Scott Lynch that begins with "The Lies of Locke Lamora" and "Red Seas under Red Skies" with a third installment "Republic of Thieves" to be released in 2011. Maybe best keep clear if you can't bear waiting for a sequel though, as they look like they may come quite apart.

I would like to recommend Jim Butcher's Codex Alera series.Though I was bored with the first one, the 2nd one was more interesting and after reading the 3rd one I was hooked. Here's the link to an excerpt of the 3rd book from the author's website
