Best book series I've ever read.If you like fantasy then give the Magician trilogy by Raymond Feist. You wont get many better fantasy series than those.
Imagine my delight when I saw they were doing a TV adaptation:

And then the depression that hit when I heard it wasn't going ahead. I just want to see what Carline would look like.
