I think you'll probably like the Otherland series. It's four books long (one longer than you wanted), but it's completed, so you won't have to read a long series.
his dark materials trilogy by phillip pullman
any of the good FR or any D&D trilogy for that matter, though the RA salvatore stuff reminds me a bit much of comix...i would suggest the netheril trilogy, the avatar trilogy, shandril's saga maybe...though greenwood's writing always seems a bit dry to me.
More sci-fi-y than the others but very good books, easy to pick up and read...
Ray Bradbury Short Story Books, "Driving Blind" and such...
Good reading but not overly fantasical
Isaac Asimov- Short Story books or the Foundation Series
He is most definately the greatest Sci-fi writer of all time...Will Smith didnt do him justice:tongue:
The best I would recommend are the first three books in the Dune saga; Dune, Dune Messiah and Children of Dune by Frank Herbert although the first one is fine by itself and the second and third are an extension of the first and the wrap up books respectively. There are more books based after them but these three work fine by themselves and the later books become a bit silly.
Other good reads are The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and Ender's Game.
For fantasy then David Gemmell is worth a shout, Legend is a good starting point and most of his books are separate in their own rights but make up something larger.
These weren't released in the US but if you can get them then Ian Irvine is highly recommended, either saga in his Three World series A View from the Mirror (four books) or The Well of Echoes (four books) are excellent.
Dune ? Zzzzzzz.........
What a snoozefest! It cures insomnia on fish!
