Oooh! I just thought of another author that hasn't been mentioned:

Patricia McKillip is a really good fantasy writer. She writes stories that are sort of romantic and full of "color." Music and art is a big part of her stories, so if you're in to that sort of thing, her books would be great. I loved them!

The Forgotten Beasts of Eld - (this was the first one I read and it is very very good)
Winter Rose - (I haven't read this one yet, but the summary of it sounds good)
RiddleMaster: The Complete Trilogy
Tower at Stony Wood
Changeling Sea
Ombria in Shadow - (I read this one and it is very very good. I think I'm going to read it again. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )
Book of Atrix Wolfe
In the Forests of Serre
Cygnet and the Firebrand
Fool's Run
Harpist in the Wind
Heir of Sea and Fire
Sorceress and the Cygnet
Moon and the Face
Moon-flash
The Night Gift

Phew ... the list goes on and on. They aren't very popular books, but they're very good for someone who is willing to focus on reading them. Maybe a little complicated. Good for an intelligent person who likes to get drawn into a magical book. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
