I sit next to another fantasy fan at work, and it's about 50/50 whether we'll like each other's recommendations.

*I really enjoyed the Belgariad when I was Garion's age, but it really didn't take long for me to see through it. It's full of lazy racial stereotypes, clockwork bursts of action, a travelogue which visits every location on the map, and a tedious prophecy-driven "plot".
