I just think he is a great writer and recommend any of his short stories
I like A spell for chamealion and the sorce of magic both are piers anthony I also like lord of the rings .
Piers Antony is really cool. I love his Xanth novels especially. His Incarnations of Immortality series is pretty good, too.
Another book of his that I enjoyed, though I forget the name is a sci-fi short story that was completely re-written by editors, and Antony was so pissed by the changes that he just didn't release the new book. Instead, he released his version and then all the notes the editors had made. I can't recall what it was called, but it was hilarious.
Take care all.
Anyone who thinks they might be interested in fantasy novels <i>has</i> to read Piers Anthony. His early Xanth novels are brilliant.
Anyway, I don't think I can limit myself to one book. So I'll just go by series:
<i>The DragonLance Saga</i>, by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman
<i>Death Gate Cycle</i>, also by Weis/Hickman
<i>The Jack Frost Series</i>, by R.D. Wingfield
And of course, <i>The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy</i>, by Douglas Adams.
Honorable mentions:
Piers Anthony in general
David Eddings's <i>The Belgariad</i> and <i>The Mallorean</i>
Terry Goodkind's <i>Sword of Truth</i> series
The Dragonlance series is pretty big. I would recommend reading Dragons of... Autumn twilight, winters night, and spring dawning (hoping I got those right, it's been a little while), followed by the legend of Huma, The Meeting Sextet series, and then prolouges/preludes?
...
The Obsidian Chronicles by Lawrence Watt Evans. Although, I don't think the final instalment is out yet. Dragon Weather was awesome, and I'm half way through Dragon Society.
I cant remember the author at the moment, but <i>Of Mice and Men</i> was amazing. One of the best required readsing in school, ever. Unfortunately, some oaf ruined the ending for our entire class.

Funnily enough, the first Dragonlance book I ever read was The Silver Stair and I was immediately hooked. I'm glad it's such a huge series; the more the better. The Death Gate Cycle will always be one of my favourite series. I still haven't bought all the books, though. .-.
The Bathroom Reader's Institute books also make for some interesting reading.
I'm into that The Wheel of Time books by Robert Jorden. It's like a 11 book series. I'm still on book 6 though. But maybe somethin along the lines of Greek Mythology might sut what you are lookin for. That stuff can get pretty crazy.
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again! I hardly knew I should use me feet again!
What do you have to say for yourself?
