I thought Wizard's First Rule was decent enough. Pretty standard fantasy fare with nothing earth-shattering. Easy story to read. The second book "Stone of Tears" was also decent but any books after that are not good.
You're mileage may vary!

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

I've ended up on a re-read of Rendezvous With Rama somehow. I read the whole Rama series years ago and liked it pretty well, but Rendezvous is the only one I actually own.
I also have 2001 on audiobook. I really like Clarke, and need to read more or his work. These two, Rendezvous and 2001, are the only ones I've read, if you don't count Gentry Lee books.
The Dark Is Rising didn't resonate with me the way it did when I was younger, and I abandoned it
