Jack Vance's Dying Earth books, especially the Cugel stories

Jack Vance's Lyonnesse trilogy

lighter reads: Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion books. there's a lot of them, so perhaps just focus on Elric, Corum, Hawkmoon, and, if you're feeling nostalgic for the sixties, the Jerry Cornelius books.

Picked up a mint copy for a dollar.

The language was difficult at first, but I've never read a more truly epic story.

It's like someone read the illiad, odessy, and anied, but decided that it should be a four part series so they wrote a sequel.

hey guys, has anyone here read this book?
They keep comparing it to Tolkein and I tried reading it once and I couldnt finish it
