Since I wasn't able to find a thread about this author or his books, I just went ahead and made one...

First off; I've read the following novels written by Raymond E. Feist;

I really love his books but I'll be the first to admit they aren't the most well written books ever or anything. They just seem to grab you and I just couldn't stop reading...

I also totally dig how characters grow during a book and during the different series... I definitely need to re-read those books and then read the other series he wrote as well...

If you've never heard of his books I just suggest starting with Magician: Apprentice and you'll probably be hooked in no time!
