i have not only read black company, but i have introduced others to it...including my ex-fiance who ran off with all my books....grrr...however since he did that, i have not kept up. have you read the stuff lackey did on fairy tales? i liked the gates of sleep and in the serpent's shadow and the phoenix and the ashes...i hated the wizard of london. bloody awful.
robin hobb is amazing and also writes as megan lindholm. she did the assassin books and is working on the forest mage books right now under robin hobb. as megan lindholm she writes edgier things, example included. http://www.asimovs.com/Nebulas03/cut.shtml
alien earth is my favorite, but her other stuff is good too. for philosophy though....the mad ship contains most of what i've taken to heart.
i grew up with tolkien, but i only fell in love with him as a person and a model when i was in college and read humphrey carpenter's biography of him. my only beef with him is that he never understood women and never succeeded in writing them well.
