What your favorite fantasy fiction?
Other than Lord of the Rings, comment on what your favorite fantasy fiction is.
Here's some of mine:
The Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson. The word EPIC is too small for this series.
The Black Company books by Glen Cook
The First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie
The Long Price Quartet by Daniel Abraham
The Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson
Shadows of the Apt series by Adrian Tchaikovsky
The Night Angel trilogy by Brent Weeks
What're your favorites?

I totally understand the poor part. No fun. Maybe see if there's a used book store around. I've found most of my collection there. I get paperbacks for $3 or less, and hardbacks for half price. I always save my pennies for Erikson. Totally worth the cost. Have fun.
I liked the Dragonlance series. I couldn't get into anything that didn't include Raistlin though.
But the best series I have read in a while was the Obsidian Trilogy. Starts off a little slow, but about 100 pages into it, you will find yourself plowing through 2000 pages in a couple weeks, just to see what happens next. The villains of this series are some demented creatures and they do a good job of making you really understand just how dark they are. The 4 main characters have great character development, which is something many books are missing these days. It also has dragons, goblins, elves, magic, large battles, and plenty of detailed fights.

i like the inheritance series by christopher paolini. keep in mind that he started writing it when he was 18. you can see his writing imrove through each consecutive book.
they're surprisingly good from such a young writer
I must say you guys have forgotten another great series. The Sword of Truth series. Not the crap TV series they have. The twelve books are way better and worth every dime you spend on them. For those who are interested the series starts with wizard's first rule
Coolest series I have read? Magic: The Gathering books. A-fircken-mazing.
Magic banned by large city-state? Used in self defense and guards saw? Say you threw coals from your fire. Seems legit.
