R...
Well Malazan series is the best fantasy series I've read, probably because I like EPIC series more than any other form of the Genre so I do have a certain bias here.
I prefer it to GRRM's Song Of Ice and Fire although along with R Scott Bakker he's also excellent.
Yes sorry, I didn't read the question properly, Word and Void series is definitely his best work. As has been suggested Brooks is fairly unimaginative especially with the Shannara books but I don't mind the books so much to have as a light read, I've certainly read worse.
His other series...
I've reads everything by Brooks. I read his stuff in b/w heavier reads in the fantasy Genre as a bit of R'n'R. You're right in that it certainly has Tolkienesque themes. Unfortunately if you're after originality you're probably not going to find it here. His writing and story structure improves...
Pendulum is good but not as good as Name Of The Rose IMO. You may also like to try some of his other novels including Focault's Pendulum, Baudiliono or The Island of The Day Before but Rose is my fav of his books. I assume you're aware a film with the same title starring Sean Connery was made...
Yep happy to add Ursula Le Guin (especially Earthsea and Left Hand Of Darkness) and some of GGK's notably Fionavar Tapestry and Tingana and to a lesser extent Lois M Bujold. I keep hearing about Gaiman and recently read American Gods which was very good. I believe the Rgiante series are not that...
OOH what do I win...:D
Whilst I'm located in Melbourne, Australia we have a 24 hours radio news station which takes direct transmissoins from NPR, BBC World and Deutsche Welle to name just a few, so I do recall NPR mentinonig something on their program "All Things Considered", you get that...
