Gimme some book recs

[(Anonymous)]

I'm searching for some decent reading material, original fiction rather than fanfic. I'm looking for some old school sword and sorcery. Something a bit Conan The Barbarian or something with elves. Proper mystical elves who are mysterious, beautiful, wise and true and all the jazz. And preferably standalone novels rather than huge long series. Nothing post-modern, nothing deconstructive, just old tropes played straight but engagingly written. I'm not in the mood for a clever dick author pulling a fast one here.

Please help me F!S. Some of you must know some good stuff.

No elves, but it doesn't get better old-school sword & sorcery than the Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser series. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fafhrd_and_the_Gray_Mouser

Don't know how precisely it fits your metrics there. But I strongly recommend Patricia McKillip, Jack Vance (or at least his heroic fantasy stuff like Lyonesse), and also James Blaylock's straight fantasy work. They might or might not be sword and sorcery, they might not have elves - but they definitely are very classic and good fantasy.

Can't vouch for it too loudly because I read it many years ago, but Juanita Coulson has some fun sword&sorcery romps.

(LoTR! haha)

I've been informed by what feels like everyone I know to read "Name of the Wind."
