Wizards and Dragons

[Made]

Not much into reading non-fiction books, lean more towards the midevil mythology/fantasy Dungeons and Dragons type books.  I believe I have read every RA Salvatore book that falls under this category, and am looking for more authors that put out similar type work.  If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be greatly appreciative.

I like the dragon myth books if you want to call them that. I doubt they are what you are looking for but maybe some of the dragon lance books would be of interest to you

I recommend you start reading the more serious "Epic Fantasy" genre.  These books are much more substantive than the Forgotten Realm series or even Dragon Lance.  The writing is better, more mature. 

I think you should start with The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan.  The first book is The Eye of the World.

If you like The Wheel of Time, then it it is time to try Martin.  George RR Martin has a series called A Song of Ice and Fire, it is very good.  So good HBO is producing a pilot of the first book, A Game of Thrones.  This series is not for the squeemish or faint of heart.  It can be violent and has some sex.

I would start with those two series. 

Good Luck.

The Belgariad series by David Eddings is pretty good,

Fred Saberhagen has the books of swords trilogy I thought was also pretty good.

Have you read The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks. It is the first of a trilogy and she has many more books. Its not exactly dragons, but it does have a wizard if I remember correctly. It is also rather long (734 pgs. I believe) but well worth the read. I liked it as much as I did the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Sorry if I am off on some of the information for it has been several years since I have read the book.

She is a he. Terry Brooks is a guy, but the books are pretty good, I read the Sword of Shannara years ago.

The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever was a pretty good read.

Terry Pratchett.  Myth mixed with British comic relief.  Disc world rocks!
