Thanks for the recommendations! :-) The title The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever sounds familiar, though I don't recall ever having read it.

Yes, we certainly need some real heroes. If only Ayn Rand had turned her pen to fantasy...

Well, if you like Ayn Rand you might enjoy the Thomas Covenant series. Not that they have anything in common but they're both kinda long and make people with a lot of religious values want to throw the book across the room. Just kidding. I've read Rand and her stuff is long but has an interesting point, one I disagree with but a point. Thomas Covenant does not. It's by Stephen Donaldson, btw.
