Cool, thanks for the suggestions. I'm sure I'll look into them at some point. I must warn you, though, that I am not a fantasy buff. LotR and Harry Potter notwithstanding (two completely different forms of fantasy that should not even be mentioned in the same sentence really), I really just don't get into most of the fantasy I've read. Even the Narnia books are only moderately enjoyable for me. I think I appreciate more the allegory than the "fantasy" pieces.
