Albeit meant for kiddie winklies both Picky and I enjoyed Northern Lights UBER amounts! Plus, the filums are slowly but surely being released (aka The Golden Compass)

Having seen the trailer for 'The Golden Compass'...

WTF!

Talking bollocks from what I can see

Potential has been spoilt by Hollywood

I dunno... from what trailers I've seen it looks pretty immense.

Different tastes probably

Aye, the Philip Pulman series is good, not 100% sure on the film though

The Black Magician and the Age of 5 Trilogies by Trudi Canavan were good.

Fiona McIntosh wrote "The quickening" Trilogy which I enjoyed very much, Fiona's mentor is/was Robin Hobb so if you like her stuff you should like this too.

David Gemmell did a whole load of books based on his Drenai world which I would highly recommend 11 in total, although his style of writing is generally aimed at younger audience's. He also began writing a Trilogy based on Troy which is a brilliant piece of work but unfortunately died in 2006 leaving the book to be finished by Stella Gemmell.... it's on my Christmas list.....
