The series about Drizzt and his friends is pretty much required fantasy reading, especially for younger folks.

Around "Passage to Dawn" he seemed to lose some of the passion for the character, and by the next book, seemed to have checked out completely. I havent read any of his stuff since (i have a copy of sea of swords i havent touched in i think 6 years), but his old stuff i can reread forever. I still have the copy of Homeland i bought when i was 15, and it is still my favorite novel.
Its weird, i think i have grown out of his type of writing, and im like urge, i dont really read fantasy anymore, but i still have fond memories.
I think if i ever get to write professionally, it will be sci fi and horror, MAYBE some fantasy on occasion.
