So you'd rather read some Ayn Rand bullshit mixed with rape fantasies?

Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman- The Soulforge and
Margaret Weis & Don Perrin- Brothers in arms

The Shannara series by Terry Brooks are fantastic

I can't believe nobody's mentioned The Name of the Wind, first part of the Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss. I just finished reading it earlier today and it was definitely one of the best fantasy pieces I've read to date.

this

the movie was an epic fail but the books are pretty decent

Eragon Series

The Iron Elves Series (so far 2 books)

1st book is called "A Darkness Forged in Fire" -- i like this series as much as eragon

good fantasy series with elves and such

the iron elves is a little more mature and incorporates fantasy with war

I read book one and two when I was a HS freshmen in English class, independent reading. That was a pretty good book. I might pick up on it again because of how I got sucked into the first book.
