But I'm especially curious as to how Blu-Ray/HD-DVD compares quality-wise to an "upconverted" DVD. I'm sure it will be better, but will it look so much better as to make me convert my 250+ DVD collection to one of the new formats.
Raymond E. Feist - Quite a large number of books. I have not been enjoying his most recent series much, but his older books are awesome.
Here's a link to his books and the order you should read them in: http://www.crydee.com/feist/refindex.htm
Robert Jordan - The Wheel of Time series. The tenth book in the series was just recently released. A well thought-out series, but seems to drag somewhat in the later books.
From the FAQ, here's a list of the books (softcover): The Eye of the World ISBN 0-812-51181-6 The Great Hunt ISBN 0-812-51772-5 The Dragon Reborn ISBN 0-812-51371-1 The Shadow Rising ISBN 0-812-51373-8 The Fires of Heaven ISBN 0-812-50974-9 Lord of Chaos ISBN 0-812-51275-4 A Crown of Swords ISBN 0-812-55028-5 The Path of Daggers ISBN 0-812-55029-3 Winter's Heart ISBN 0-812-57558-X
The just released one is called Crossroads of Twilight and is only available in hardcover at the moment.
George R.R. Martin - A Song of Ice and Fire. This series is my absolute favourite at the moment. It can be hard to read at times (not in terms of poor quality but what happens to the characters - cannot explain without spoilers), but I cannot seem to put it down once I start. The characters are really fleshed out.
The list of books in this series so far is: A Game of Thrones A Clash of Kings A Storm of Swords
The next book will be called A Feast for Crows and is due this April.
Terry Goodkind - The Sword of Truth. Some people really detest his writing, some people love it. I happen to enjoy the Sword of Truth books. It is a fun series.
The list of books for this series are: Wizards First Rule Stone of Tears Blood of the Fold Temple of the Winds Soul of the Fire Faith of the Fallen Pillers of Creaton
Orson Scott Card - If you haven't read any of his books, at LEAST read Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead. They are great books.

I'm curious about this as well.

I got an invitation from you. Thank you very much!
Maybe they could get Leonard Nimoy to pen the songs for the Hobbit movie.
