I have been a fan of Chalker's for a long time.  I think I've read
all of his available works - at least, I've read all that I've
been able to find, including all those on Muffy's list and maybe
a few others.  I'll have to look through my collection when I get
home and see if there are any I could add to the list.  

The only book/series I thought was less interesting than the rest
was the Four Lords of the Diamond series.  By the time I got to
the fourth, I had pretty much lost interest, but I finished them
just to see how they came out.  I've read the Well of Souls series
several times, and I think it's his best (especially the first book -
Midnight at the Well of Souls).  The Web of the Cozen was also very
good, particularly because of the somewhat unusual ending. (For those
who haven't read it, I won't spoil it :-)
