The fist rings a bell, the second I'm sure I've read some of his... obviously made an impact

I'll need to check my library, but 90% is packed in boxes while I'm building a study to house them
Terry Pratchett was very good for the first 8-9 books, but it all started to get a bit predictable. I have found that authors tend to produce exclent first books, good follow-ups but you can tell when the publishing house has said "we want another one...by then" - just looses some polish and dosn't feel as "rounded" as previous novels. Robbin Hobb, Craig Shaw Gardener, David Eddings, JK Rowling, ... add to the list.
