1817266 For Language I would also like to nominate
The Elements of Style, Fourth Edition (not as entertaining as 'Eat, Shoots and Leaves' but very informative)

and for non-fiction if you're into science at all
Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! Adventures of a Curious Character (I'm not into science much and I found it surprisingly enjoyable.)
Galileo's Daughter A Historical Memoir of Science, Faith, and Love (I have this somewhere and always thought it looked interesting)
The Scientists A History of Science Told Through the Lives of Its Greatest Inventors (Looks like it might be an enjoyable insight into science ... unlike those pesky classes I had to take in high school and college. haha)

1918642 These are some that I thought sounded good that you mentioned and are already on my 'to-read' list:
The Eye of the World
Rhapsody Child of Blood
The Briar King
The Magicians' Guild
Dead Witch Walking
Daughter of the Blood

I absolutely loved Wizard's First Rule and would advise everyone to read that.

I hear Storm Glass is really difficult to get unless you've first read the 'study' series: Poison Study, Magic Study, Fire Study. That is a really good trilogy, though. I thoroughly enjoyed them and can't wait to read the 'glass' series next!

Oh and I also enjoyed Magic in the Wind (Drake Sisters, #1) and look forward to reading more in that series!
