I'd recommend reading him if you're not a "picky" reader. He writes a good story, his ideas are fresh (or were at the time), rich and interesting. I also have vivid memories of the land he created inisde his books. They were my first big read as a kid, about 18 years ago.

I have to limit this to his "Land" series. The Illearth War, the Wounded Land etc.. DO NOT read his sci fi series. It'll leave you disturbed. I'm one of the unfortunates who did read his sci fi series, and can only say that anyone who can concentrate a whole slew of books on the topic of rape, and it's abstractions, should be put on some sort of watch list.

Read his "Land" series.
