Magician: Apprentice (Riftwar Saga) 330 reviews Raymond Feist
Spectra, 1994
Sensitively and Intelligently written
+ Good + A nice start
This is not your typical fantasy series beginning. The major theme is quite unique in that magicians can open rifts between worlds. And this is where this story starts, with a rift opening and an invading army coming through.

Stranger in a Strange Land 540 reviews Robert A. Heinlein
Ace Trade, 1991
Excelent Read...
+ Absolutely excellent
This book is absolutely amazing. Draws you in from the very first page, and after reading it, it leaves you with no questions, but a very insightful look into human nature.
Once you pick it up you will find it hard to put it down to do things like sleep or go to work.
