Book recommendations? (sci-fi or fantasy)

Jedo: once you've finished the series, you should get your hands on the dark tower comic series. It focuses on how Roland became the man he is in the series, and also fleshes out the characters of Alain and Cuthbert. I've read the first three collections, and they mesh very well with the tone of the series.

Book four is great, although it's a flashback.

I love all R.A. Salvatore books. Of course my favourite are Drizzt Do'Urden series:

* Homeland
* Exile
* Sojourn

From Sci-Fi I recommend Isaac Asimov: Foundation series

Yes, I've been keeping up with the comics in their hardcover releases. They're ok, but I find the drawings are a bit much compared to the stories; I'm not sure they always capture the feeling of the books. They do cover things that are not fleshed out in the books, and for that they're interesting. The stories are written by Robin Furth, who is King's "research assistant" or whatever, so they do probably have his approval.
