I love Terry Pratchet, but I'd recommend the Death books more. Especially Reaperman and Soul Music.

I should reply to this properly
Though this probably only applies properly if your female since most of the books I like have much more character developement things than plot things...which I've found guys find annoying
The Old Kingdom Trilogy by Garth Nix
The Protectors of the Small Quartet by Tamora Pierce
The Wayfarers redemption Series (or if your Australian and pre-date silly americans getting Australian books The Axis Triology and the Way farers redemption Trilogy) by Sara Douglass
The Mallorean by David Eddings
Near on anything set in the world where Valdemer exists by Mercedes Lackey

I think i read those eddings books. I thought they were allright, maybe a little juvinile in nature, but still a good story.

Well considering that I read them when I was like 15 that's probably why.
Alot of those books are actually ones i'd recommend a juvenille to read.

pardon me if this sounds stupid, but i don't know how you can like fantasy and not like Lord of the Rings.
Course i guess that's like liking rock and not liking the Beatles, and that happens so yeah, maybe it is sort of understandable. But you should know that it's basicly Tolkien's work that got it all started.

I think you need to be a fast reader to enjoy Tolkien, because you'll be stuck on one thing for too long if not.

yeah
i always get yelled at for reading stuff too fast. When i'm playing an RPG and someon'e watching the dialogue just flies by.
Anyway, i think in so many ways Tolkien was too smart for his own good. He really had no idea how to simplify things. But then again, if he had simplified things then it wouldn't be the epic work that it is.
