Belgarath the Sorcerer by David Eddings. This will be the....third time, I think, reading it. That is, after reading the previous ten books each time as well. Then it's just Polgara the Sorceress and, if I feel bold, the Rivan Codex. Fantasy is numero uno as my favorite genre, and David Eddings is definitely up there with George R.R. Martin, Tolkien, and R.A. Salvatore.
