I nearly think it is likely that this list is highly represented with Zelazny fans, including Steve. I think Lord of Light is an excellent choice for a favourite Zelazny book whether one has read all of Roger's books or a few. Mine is usually This Immortal, but there are many days when the choice is harder.
