Dear list members, thank you very much for your warm welcome. I really glad to have found this place. As for other books I can recommend Glen Cook Instrumentalities of the Night if you like a touch of dark fantasy Glen Cook Garrett P.I. for a funny approach to fantasy A Song Of Ice And Fire by George R. R. Martin and several Ravenloft novels by different authors - if you like dark fantasy in a gothic setting or even played the AD&D setting.

I never read books that were series until i read Ray's ones due to me being the impatient type personality who likes an ending NOW please :=). I dont want magician to end though tehehehe, how sad is that. Ok will take a look at Dresden, im loving my Kindle so will take a sneaky look at work later today.
