I'm also a follower of the Wheel of Time series. Been on this since Form5. Waiting for the last book.

While waiting now into Forgotten Realms (Drizzt's collection, Elminster's saga, Shandril's trilogy (ending kinda letdown), Undead Trilogy (not bad, searching for book2 and book3), Avatar series (kinda slow, 3 to go), etc...
Problem with Forgotten Realms is there are so many different writers and stories that it's hard to know what's good to read.

Also read Ursula Le'Guin Earthsea Quartet which is very nice (borrowed from friend, still looking to buy my own to re-read it ever since)

Oh yeah of course read the LOTR and Hobbit, both are good. Might try the Silmarillion since you guys are recommending it.
Narnia is also nice but is really a children book.

Er.. Chewbacca?? You mean the "pech" in underdark right?

I'm been reading a lot of Forgotten Realms lately, just finished Neversfall, Blackstaff, Bloodwalk and Swords of Eveningstar, which is about a group of young friends that went adventuring and eventually becoming the famed Knights of Myth Drannor.
Now looking for Swords of Dragonfire which continues the story in Eveningstar.
