The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant - Stephen Donaldson - another of my favorites, the hero frustrates & angers hugeyl, may be difficult to begin but 'endure' & keep a packet of tissues with you at end. The Uplift series - David Brin also author of The Postman - Sci Fi but something for everyone in Startide Rising & The Uplift War Nine Princes in Amber Series- Roger Zelazny Songs of Earth & Power, (The Infinity Concerto & The Serpent Mage) - Greg Bear Ringworld - Larry Niven Lillith - 19th century author George McDonald a Scottish clergyman. You maybe surprised, I lent this copy to someone was very difficult to get hold of, but I see Amazon is stocking . I am am not home by my library, but do have many more suggestions. Barbara
