I disagree about the Xanth series being his best.  I feel that the
Blue Adept trilogy is better, a little less forced (definitely in
terms of puns).  I do enjoy his style in the fantasy genre.  I have
read some of his hardcore sci-fi and I don't care for it.

As for an up to date list, this man is a voluminous writer, so
much so that he could write under a pseudonym much as S. King has
claimed to have done, just so he won't glut the market with
Anthony books.  I coudn't begin to list the numberPof books he has
written.

Speaking of fantasy, a novel I have liked for a long time is
'The Dragon and the George' by Gordon R. Dickson.  Very humorous
look at knights and dragons and magic and such.
