So after a few events realside left me in the mood to read some serious fantasy, I found out that I don't actually HAVE many fantasy books, aside from the big ones (LotR, Hobbit, Etc.)

And when I SEARCH for what I'm after, I don't seem to be able to find it.

Basically I'm the type of guy who likes a small to medium group of heroes (you know, three to five, maybe a few more) up against the world, that sort of thing- without being first person, and preferably UNDER a few thousand novels.

Anyone ever run into an oddity like this?

[edit:] Please don't recommend Game of Thrones. "Die Die Everyone Dies" isn't really my style.
