As for Chalker, my favorite of his is the Warden Diamond books, though they're sort of a hybrid between fantasy and sci-fi (magic in space), and they're pretty strongly influenced by Chalker's weird fetish for body transformation (which, once you know about it, you start seeing everywhere in his stuff). They're also extremely difficult to find these days (I've looked).

Yeah I liked the diamond books (wolf in the fold etc I think they were, but there were so many that I do get em confused). He did do body shaping/changing a ton from his Well World books, to his Soulrider books, and even the river of the dancing gods books, he pretty much loved transforming people lol. I have not read any of his stuff in decades though.

And yeah, I liked the Cadderly books as well (by the same author as Drizzt but I forget his name now) they even crossed over a bit. I do agree that many of the authors/series were hit and miss for them, but if you like DnD it's still usually worth a read (with some exceptions).

Dragonlance I pretty much only liked the weis/hickman books, but all of them were pretty good. Loved Tass heh...was my favorite char. The deathgate books were good as well (and had a tie in with Fizban).

I pretty much read all the science fiction and fantasy out there up till the late 90's when I got married. Then I still kept up with alot of authors, but didn't read a book a day anymore so I fell behind. Since my wife passed I mainly just read a few authors like Dresden, and recently have been reading Lit-rpg books. I'm also writing my own book ( slowly like 20 pages a day lol).

It's insane how many books I have forgotten at this point lol.
