I like the Barenziah series, but I've yet to read through it all. Wish there were audiobooks, so I could smash ogres WHILE reading books. I'm an elf with a busy schedule... :D

The Third Door (if its the one when the women chops up her love-interest out of jealousy)
A Game at Dinner (brilliant :P )
The Locked Room


i still havent read: Feyfolken, Barenziah, or the Arrow one, should i read them?

and i cant think of the name of it (please tell me) its the one that tells about the realms of Oblivion, and goes on to tell about a man that goes to Mora's realm and he becomes a wraith or something

I'm a fan of the Manual of Xedilian, not so much for the content, but because it looks really cool. I've got it sitting in a display case in my house.

in answer to a query on the first page:

Waters of Oblivion is the one where the Master travels through the realms of Oblivion. The castle one is The Horrors of Castle Xyr, or something like that. I like them both too.
