I've never gotten into Alan Dean Foster, although he's reasonably
popular.  Aside from having a virtual lock on SF movie novelizations for
nearly a decade, he written two popular series:  The Humanax Commonwealth
[SF] & Spellsinger [Fantasy].  Does anyone want to give a tour of
recommended books?

[C] == Story Collection.
[O] == Omnibus.  Includes other books.
