Dang, this is one conversation I did not expect to see here.
Anyway, to participate a bit - I'm a fan of fantasy, Tolkien doesn't write children's books only despite "The Hobbit" being very famous this year (due to obvious reasons). Favourite author - Raymond E. Feist by far. The "Riftwar Saga" is amazing. Other good reads - the classic "Song of Fire and Ice" is extremely entertaining, George R. R. Martin has a very unique style. Robert Jordan's (and his friend's who is finishing his series) "The Wheel of Time" are awesome reads with a rather "different take" on the fantasy world. (quite long tho)

The Wheel of Time is a fantastic series, I'm not a big fantasy buff, but I've really enjoyed it. I hadn't caught any major differentials between Jordan and the other writer, I don't know too many people who even heard of these books, did you notice anything? Anything that caught your eye in the middle that immediately said it wasn't Jordan's work?
