I agree on the Dark Tower. It's a damned masterpiece and Roland is one of the best characters around.

For historial fiction Jack Whyte is really good. I prefer Bernard Cornwell. If any of you have read the Warlord Chronicles by him you know what I mean.

Tolkien goes without saying.

The original Conan stories are amazing. Great comment on the barbarism of civilzation and the civilization of barbarism. He has a great comment about how people can be rude in a civilization because they don't have to worry about getting an axe in the face.

Iliad and Odyssey are good. I like the Aenead alot.

Alright, I need to stop. No one ask me about favorite movies. It'll be even worse.
