The Prydain Chronicles (The Book of Three, The Black Cauldron, The Castle of
Llyr, Taran Wanderer, and The High King) is one of the best Fantasy series

read (especially for a Juvenile/Young Adult fiction series).  Unfortunately, I
broke my read-it-once-a-year-cycle, so I need to pick up some new copies of
it.
;) Other ones I liked include The Foundling and Other Tales of Prydain, The
First Two Lives of Lukas-Kasha, The Vesper Holly series (Illyrian Adventure)
and the book about Fflewder Fflam.  I know I read others by him, but for the
life of me, I can't remember what they were.  :)  I know I either wanted to
read or started The Kestrel, but I don't think I finished it.  :(  Most of

Sounds like I've got a lot of reading to catch up on ;-)
Well, I've also got a lot of homework to catch up on...

Thanks for the suggestion! I still have to finish "Wizard of Earthsea" before
I can start anything else, tho' - it's loaned from my ESL teacher and I have
to get it back, or they'll have my head... ;-)
