My favourite Amber novel remains Nine Princes in Amber
It has the perfect beginning--he was so good at beginnings. There is this amnesiac bloke that wakes up in hospital, and, after a while, we are off with him, transforming the surroundings while riding around in a car... and the forest of Arden, inspired by the real forest of the Ardennes... I must go there once in my life... and the revelation of the existence of Shadows, and this family, in which no one can trust anyone, and this splendid Corwin, so flawed and brilliant. Stop me!
