To try and pursuade the first year PhD students away from Robert Jordan and Raymond Feist, and towards Guy Gavriel Kay, Robert Holdstock, Barry Hughart and Steven Brust?

And them "The Lions of Al-Rassan" by Guy Gavriel Kay and "Mythago Wood" by Robert Holdstock.

If any of them has the tiniest gamer-geek streak in them, chuck 'em a copy of "Snow Crash".
