Hard to find good fantasy nowadays, but I'll see if I can't give Mercedes Lackey a try, it seems popular here.

Be aware that there is a lot of "Mercedes Lackey and Joe Bloggs" type stuff out there - the quality varies quite a bit, so if you run across one you don't like, don't tar it all with the same brush. If you want, nudge me at some point and we can discuss some finer points, and come up with some you might like.

Also, Mercedes herself covers a fairly wide stretch of different types of novels, so even if you limit yourself to her and her alone, you may find your tastes differ...

I bought an ton of John Le Carre stuff to read on the beach (the Karla trilogy, Spy Who Came In From The Cold, and The Little Drummer Girl). Anyone else like/have experience?

Regarding Mercedes Lackey, I read her Owl Mage Series and really enjoyed it.
Took me about a week to finish all three books while on holiday.

Raymond E. Fiest, Robert Jordan and David Eddings are probably my favourite authors at the moment but joradn deffinitally tops the list with the Wheel of Time series. Fiest's novels are intriuging in that while 90% of his books all link to the same story the books never follow a set time line and the main character for each book changes while still keeping all characters relavant.
