Timothy Zahn - Cobra Trilogy.

Great feedback, thanks for the ideas, at least one of which I do recall now as a recommendation from a friend years ago. Looks like a few were mentioned multiple times, with Riftwar seemingly getting the most recommendations. I'm not yet familiar with this, but I will have to look into it, get it from the library.

Many options to consider.

Thanks.

Goodkind's Sword of Truth series would keep you busy for a while. There are a few books in it that are boring, but as a whole it's a good fantasy series.

The first one only. The rest of the books are the most whoring-est preachshit you'll never believe you'll read. And everything is a ripoff of WoT anyway.

If you have a tablet or e-ink device, baen.com has a large number of free, legal books from their authors like David Drake.

You can also read sections of many books with a web browser. I read the first part of Larry Correia's The Monster Hunters here, then bought the ebook for $6 (not bad since it's 3 book compilation):

I watched the first 2 seasons of Game of Thrones and liked them so much I decided to read the books, I'm now knee deep in the third book and they are worth reading, I'm actually not an avid reader of non-fiction, and even less so of big long series (I haven't even read Harry Potter), but these books are really good.

The first season follows the first book pretty closely, though the book goes into a lot more detail and things make a lot more sense, but I did feel I was re-visiting a lot of the same material.

The second season doesn't actually follow the second book that closely. There were parts in the season that didn't make any sense at all but now make complete sense when you bring in the parts of the book that were cut out or changed.

Just a heads up, the first part of the third book is actually the last couple episodes of the second season for certain characters.
