I just recently became very interested in the novels of this universe, I had already played the Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, NWN, etc. But I figured the novels would go more in depth/detail of this vast continent: Faerun(sp?)
I'm currently reading the Dark Elf Trilogy, and I guess there's a bunch of books after that, around 20 books in total that outline the life of Drizzt Do'Urden.
However, what are some novels, the veteran readers have enjoyed, or deem to be awesome? Just wondering is all.

The Harper series is very good. You can still Elaine Cunningham's Song and Sword series, get them! I do not like Ed Greenwood's fiction but in getting a vibe for the world his new books such as Swords of Eveeningstar will help. The Cormyr books are good too for that.

When hinges creak in doorless chambers and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls, whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight. |

Ed Greenwood's Knight of Myth Drannor is as good as any.
Then again I do like Ed's writing. I prefer his non-realms books more. I am sooo glad I read Dark Warrior Rising.

"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."

Any suggestions for a new Forgotten Realms reader?
