Anne McCaffrey is another of my favorites. I think @Ribh might like Marion Zimmer Bradley, the Mists of Avalon.I will have to look him up! I love Tolkien, my brother who is gone now bought me a boxed set of The Hobbit & The Lord of the rings when I was 15 or so! I devoured them so did my oldest son and daughter...they completely wore them out! I haven't read anything from David Eddings in a long time! I will also look up The Two Pearls of Wisdom! If you like dragons...I do...I want one for a pet......you might like The Dragon Riders of Pern...I think they are a fun read! Thank you for the suggestions!
