I am looking for a new series of books to read. I enjoyed the dresden files, wheel of time, and a few others anyone got any ideas?

Try butchers codex Alera series. I found it a great fantasy series with some neat twists to the conventional fantasy writing.

If you haven't read Terry Goodkind, do it. Don't watch that god awful mockery of a TV series they made about his fantasy series though :p

Yes. One must read Terry Goodkin so that one can properly bash him.

Note that I have only read the first book, so I'll leave the bashing to the experts:

hahahaha opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. I personally loved it and have similarly turned on many friends to the series. ;)

Assuming you've read The Hobbit + LotR?

Some basic fantasy:
The Complete Book of Amber By Roger Zelazny
Magician: Apprentice (first book of series) By Raymond Feist
David Eddings: Belgariad and Malorean
The Dragon Riders of Pern by Anne McCaffrey
Jhereg by Steve Brust (if you like Dresden, you'll like Vlad)
More complex stuff:
The Black Company by Glen Cook
Garden of the Moon by Steve Erickson

Sci fi ish?
Cryptonomicon, Snow Crash, the Baroque Cycle by Neil Stephenson
TITAN, WIZARD, DEMON by John Varley

I've read just about everything on Maniacles' list and recommend most of it. Amber is especially good, though I didn't like the followup series as much. Same with David Eddings: the Mallorean really felt like a rewrite of the Belgariad. Steven Brust writes all kinds of good stuff, and I enjoy a lot of Glen Cook, Black Company included. Neil Stephenson ranks among my favorite authors; I recommend Snow Crash and The Diamond Age to start (but if you are frustrated by books that end at the climax, Stephenson will give you fits).

Another classic fantasy series I enjoyed was Saberhagen's Books of Swords, but skip the Books of Lost Swords that came after.

Saberhagen's Berserker Wars series. It's what Battlestar Galactica was all about.


Stephen Donaldson's "Chronicles of Thomas Covenant"


Brian Lumley's "Necroscope" series


Clive Barker and H.P. Lovecraft: any of the numerous compilations of short stories; i.e., 'At The Mountains Of Madness', 'The Books Of Blood', etc.
