    It'd be more work.

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t

    Last i got was "Tallon of the Silver Hawk".

    Book one in the "Conclave of the Shadows" series

    (That's the Secret Society to fight the nameless one set up by Pug in "Shards of a Broken Crown")


    There are more, but im waiting for them to come out in paperback, coz im skint




    Anyone wishing to get into Feist:

    The 1st Book of all the differing Series (which all fit together...) is: "Magician"


    In my opinion, a hell of a lot better than Tolkien....

    Talon of the Silver Hawk any good?

    Tolkien's other popular work is The Hobbit.

    By memory: Book of Lost tales and/or Forgotten stories 1 & 2.

    Adventures of Tom Badabil (sp), Probably something else.

    Silmarillion also details elements of Elven language, which is useful for naming characters in your role playing games. For example in morrowind I have a female redguard named Maegwen - meaning "Sharp Maid" i.e. Battle Maid. Her class being Faerun (Wandering Spirit).

    Book of Lost Tales by Christopher Tolkien (JRR's grandson)
    Adventures of Tom Bombadil
    I'd recommend the Silmarillion and The Hobbit (its strictly a children's book, not an epic)

    Tolkien's 'Farmer Giles of Ham'. Its by no means epic but still damn good.
    The Dark Tower series.

    These were great:

    http://www.malazanempire.com/

    The best I've read in that direction in a long time.

    Otherwise there's always Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time"/"Dragon Reborn"-series.

    I guess you could have a go at Lloyd Alexander's "Westmark" or Ursula K. LeGuin's fantasy novels as well.
