Fantastic fantasy

I have a few favorite writers to recommend.

Peter S. Beagle, who wrote The Last Unicorn. It's a sweet, fun and clever adventure with a bittersweet ending. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Beagle and he is a wonderful person. So on top of appreciating great writing, you'd also be supporting a great guy if you buy one of his books.

I'm also a huge fan of Jack Vance. Not a lot of people know this, but his Dying Earth series was the precursor to Dungeons & Dragons. Gygax was inspired by Vanc'es writing. Vance had a fantastic imagination with rich settings and interesting characters. He created worlds with diverse cultures and interesting lore. He had a real penchant for drawing you into a scene. He really sparked the imagination. Just really enthralling.
