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.
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.
Some say that he is allergic to a fungus found only between the toes of Corsairs,
and that he is oblivious to 98% of Liberty Law. All we know is... He's called the Busdriver!
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.

Treewyrm Wrote:all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.
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.

Snow Crash is a favorite of mine, and The Diamond Age is also quite good.
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.
