Glad to hear you're enjoying The Belgariad, Darcy. It's one of my all-time favourite fantasy series. The sequel set - The Mallorean - isn't quite as good imo, but still good reading and has been read more than once and still has some fine moments.
Strangely, I was never able to get into Eddings' other big series - The Elenium. Not really sure why. And some of the other sequels using the Belgariad characters were very repetitive to my mind, covering ground already well covered in the other books.
But you've got me in the mind to go revisit some old friends now...
