I have pretty much committed myself to buying his entire bibliography after reading the second book in the Fionavar Tapestry, the Wandering Fire (expect review soon). I just love his style.

I would highly recommend you start there; that book at least is fantastic. And the rest of Kay's novels do reference the world of Fionavar, if only slightly, so it's worth starting at the beginning, I reckon. The Summer Tree is not a long book, but I feel it is perfectly formed :) Very, very easy to pick up. hi Steven,

I really need to sit down and start reading his stuff. Is your recommendation, for first time readers of Kay, to start with the Summer Tree? Or is there another book such as The Lions of Al-Rassan or The Last Light of Day that I should read? Or does it matter? Kay has been on my list of authors to read for some time.
