Everyone must read George R. R. Martin's saga starting with "A Game of Thrones". Do so at your earliest possible convenience.
Here is the first review I found for it on google:

I enjoy Authors such as Tom Clancy & Dale Brown. On occassion I read Stephen King and Dean Koontz and when I really feel like some fantasy, I'll read Clive Cussler.
I Had a look at that review Achillies. Is it really as good as you say? |

Lots of books from John Grisham, Paul Maier are good. Dan Brown also is quite a nice writer, but I like his books mostly cause the genre is fairly attractive.
The book 1984 by George Orwell is also great.
I don't read dutch books unless I have to do so for school, but I think English is much better. Only if it where because the language is more pleasant and it has a bigger vocabulaire.

@T2:
Absolutely. A friend of mine turned me onto the series a few weeks ago, and I am hooked. I just started the fourth book yesterday.
I have turned several friends and my brothers on to A Game of Thrones, and they all rave about it.
Best of all, you can get a paperback copy, brand new, for about four dollars. |

Although I'm a big fan of LOTR and the Harry Potter series, I have never encountered books like David Edding's Belgariad and David Edding's Malloreon.
Each series contain 5 books each, there is also two prequels and also one epilogue.
The only one I haven't read is the epilogue which is known as The Rivan Codex
I seriously urge you to take a look at these books as they are absolutlely classic.

i think 1984 is a good book, Starcraft Liberty's Crusade was enjoyable, higher level than it sounds, eragon series are also good, the first few harry potter books were good (6th one was a let down) and many good books are out their
