My favourites are the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, he wrote 11 of the 12 in the series, but died of a terminal illness before he could finish the 12th. It is being written by an author him and his editor (aka his wife) chose before his death.

What i am reading at the moment, and i would recomend as generally a very good book for most people, is The Eagle of the Ninth by Rosmary Sutcliff.

This took ff faster than expected.
You already know what im reading so here's what I sujjest,
Everything by Brian jacques, especially:
-Salamandastron
-the Long Patrol
-Mossflower
-Redwall
Of cource these books have a pretty heavy furry influence, they are still very very good, and child safe.... sorta. There happen to be wars pretty often but they were written as a kids series so it never gets graphic.

Smart kid.
Also, 1632, 1634: The Gallileo Affair by Eric Flint. An entire American city is warped through time to the 1600s in the middle of Europe. With guns. And they're fighting the Inquisition and such.

Read Neal Stephenson, guys. Fantastic author. I actually find myself analyzing my surroundings more after having read his books, he's astoundingly good at describing the various objects his settings contain with a combination of wit, screwball humor, and amazing depth. Really enlivens his storytelling; his futuristic scenarios seem tangibly real. Start with Snow Crash or The Diamond Age, I recommend Snow Crash for starters.

Simon R. Green's Nightside series is another suggestion of mine. His books are relatively quick, fun, rather strange reads, but generally amusing. They're a bit like the weird silliness of Men In Black meets classic noir detective novels, then with the weird silliness turned up a notch.
