Still holds up after 20 years
I've read this book 5 times now over a period of 20 years, and I am still drawn to it. The original paperback cover shows Felix in his black scout suit bonking a bug over the head with the butt of his rifle. That picture alone pretty much sums up Felix's inner ...

The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, Day 1)
Patrick Rothfuss
DAW, 2008
Amazing!
This is one amazing book. I read it for 8 hours straight, and couldn't pull myself away from it. The writing is superb. Being a very picky ready, I am beside myself to have found an amazing new author to follow.

leaves me wishing for more ...
I heard that Hines is currently working on a new fantasy series. While I am looking forward for new work from this fresh, rising talent I do hope that he returns to Jig the Goblin someday. A friend recommended this trilogy to me just a month ago and I read all the ...
Shadowmarch: Volume I
Tad Williams
DAW, 2006
Long, Diverse, and Intriguing
This is the first book of Tad Williams' that I've read, and so I was happily surprised to find such a competent writer. Recently I have been reading many fantasy novels that have great plot lines but terrible writing, and so reading Williams' smooth and eloquent ...
Goblin Hero
Jim C. Hines
DAW, 2007
Great second entry in series!
Second in the "Jig the Goblin" fantasy series, featuring the reluctant hero: runty, heavily bespectacled Jig the Dragonslayer. I like this series because it's different--Goblins aren't usually a fantasy race that you think of being the hero of a story, but the author ...

Goblin Quest
Jim C. Hines
DAW, 2006
Better than the Zanth novels
I loved this book, it is one of my favorites now and I know I will want to revisit it often. I also bought the other two books in the series. Each book is stand alone great. I laughed so hard I almost fell out of my chair and yet there is also a lesson to be learned ...
