My love for fantasy gaming was fuelled by what I read growing up, and alongside Terry Pratchett and his Discworld series (which my wife is now re-reading), and of course Tolkien's classic works, my main source of fantasy fiction was Terry Brooks and his Shannara series.
These are classic fantasy stories loaded with Elves, Dwarves, Trolls, Demons and man, with lots of quests being undertaken with travel across the Four Lands, large battles and dungeons being dlved. It's all very Warhammer Quest/Warhammer Fantasy Battles.
I've loved these books since the 80s, and had been collecting them as a new one was released over the years. It became a yearly ritual: another new book from either Brooks, Pratchett or Stephen King.
Anyway, I've begun reading the series and have collated a list of all the books across the series to mark off as I finish them, and give me something to aim for.
