Here's the story: I used to be a fiend for fantasy material like that written by R.A. Salvatore and Terry Brooks, and always wanted to write my own material but never stuck to it for various reasons. I'm at the point now where I have such a strong sense of plot structure and characterization and a unique voice in prose that if I didn't put pencil to paper, I'd be wasting my talents. However, I haven't read any novel, much less a fantasy novel, in almost a decade. I feel the need to brush up on how the genre works today as well as prose in general

So recommend to me a couple fantasy books that you really like
