Actually, Potter is the only such fantasy that I've read so far :-) I've never even read LOTR - though I have seen all of the movies in one sitting (I know, no substitute, but I just never got around to it)

And if you're looking for a long, top notch fantasy series, you have to try Terry Pratchett.

I seem to recall reading something by him.. don't know what it was, but not discworld. I'll add one to the list and see if I like it.

I've read all the 2001 novels - pretty good.

There's a very fine line of what Sci-Fi I'll read and what not. Anything with Star Trek in the title is good. Since it would disrupt the space-time continuum if I was also a warsie, I don't read anything from that *other* universe.

I have to admit, I've never read any Asimov. I like my books with a little action and lotsa spaceships Asimov, while defining, does sound a little.. well, boring. Sometimes I like to try a new thing (Harrison Harry's 'the stainless steel rat' comes to mind) but I find the experience usually a bit unsatisfactory.

Cory Doctorow

Sounds like my kind of guy. Free is always good (though I must admit, I never buy any books anyway because I prefer digital formats - my eyesight is poor, so I just can't read paperbacks or certain fonts.)

All, thanks for some great suggestions. Í'll add everything to my little list. Should be enough to last me a while.
