Books written like Margaret Weiss (fantasy) ------------------------------------------- compiled by Melanie C. Duncan (duncanm@mail.bibb.public.lib.ga.us), February 2000 Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman launched the Dragonlance series published by TSR, now Wizards of the Coast (WOTC), over ten years ago. All of their books have proven extremely popular with the 7th grade thru adult readers, primarily males since role-playing games are primarily still a young male venue. Other books your readers might like: *Tad Williams, The Dragonbone Chair (Memory, Sorrow & Thorn Bk. 1) -----. Stone of Farewell (Memory, Sorrow & Thorn Bk. 2) -----. To Green Angel Tower (Memory, Sorrow & Thorn Bk. 3) *Robert Jordan. Eye of the World (Wheel of Time Bk. 1) -----. Great Hunt (Wheel of Time Bk. 2) -----. Dragon Reborn (Wheel of Time Bk. 3) -----. Shadow Rising (Wheel of Time Bk. 4) -----. Fires of Heaven (Wheel of Time Bk. 5) -----. Lord of Chaos (Wheel of Time Bk. 6) -----. Crown of Swords (Wheel of Time Bk. 7) -----. Path of Daggers (Wheel of Time Bk. 8) -----. Winter's Heart (Wheel of Time Bk. 9; due out Nov. 2000) No forseeable end to this series. *R.A. Salvatore. Writes for WOTC in their Forgotten Realms series. They are reprinting his Drizzt Do'Urden books, The Dark Elf Trilogy, in hardcover as one book. His fantasy books are good choices, but he dropped the ball when asked to write the first book in the New Jedi Order and bungled some of the basic principles of physics (i.e., people can't breathe in space without help). *Terry Brooks. Shannara series. *Terry Pratchett. Any titles you can get your hands on! Very tongue--in-cheek humor.
