go for the drizt stuff- its good- only problem being that the middle series gets stale(legacy serries) - salvatore fixes that later though
also liked the cleric quintet
david gemmel is great- he put out a book called "against the horde", in the 80's, complete w/ cheesy cover- then re issued it in the 90's with a new title, legend- and better cover art- It is now a best seller (or was) I read the cheesy cover version as a last resort, as it seemed like a bad cliche' , but 20 pages in was amazed- 100 pages in could not put it down- it is THAT COOL- think the Alamo meets ghengis khan meets lotr- gave to the wife she had simmilar opinions/ read it in one setting - this is my personal example of the old maxim about judging books by the covers.....
also- steven brust is a helluva writer- the vlad taltos series is lighter but he also gets deep in some of his stuff..... also does a great fantasy version of the three musketeers with the phoenix guards and 500 years later.......
