Hey. Let go of my brain. You're not supposed to rummage through that
These on my To Re-read list for 2014, along with the sequel series, "The Malloreon". (And of course the background works of Belgarath the Sorcerer, Polgara the Sorceress, and The Rivan Codex.)
If one happens to like eddings, "The Elenium" and "The Tamuli" are also quite good, with some good (and unexpected) character development. On the other hand, whatever you do,
AVOID The Dreamers, also by Eddings. You'll be reading the same story four times over. It's actually the only series that I have in paperback that I don't intend to replace with ebook versions, ever.
Also, the first 6 Drizzt books (in chronological order) by R.A. Salvatore are very good.

I bought them as ebooks not too long ago; I bought Belgarath and Polgara at Kobo using a UK account/address, because they were cheapest there. At this moment, I don't remember where I bought the other books... not at Kobo, as they're not in my library there. I'm not going to check all the stores one by one
(I don't keep records of where I buy books. After buying, I de-DRM them, put them into calibre, and make a seperate backup.)
