The Magician...I borrowed it off a friend, but it will be a while (month or two) before I get to read it...is it worth it? The friend liked it, but you know, just to get a second opinion...

That's Raymond Feist Spring. 
And yeah, Magician is totally worth it. Great book. I have the unabridged one, and I still read the whole series every few years...or once a year...or whenever I'm bored.
The "parallel" series, Daughter of the Empire, Servant of the Empire and Mistress of the Empire is even better, but wait 'til you've read Magician and the two that follow it.

I enjoyed Magician. I have not read it in some years, but I do remember it fondly. 
I agree with Avatar that the three Empire books co-written with Janny Wurts are even better, but you have to read Magician and its immediate sequels first (and they are enjoyable in their own right).
Feist has many books & series set on the world of Midkemia. I tend to like the earlier work rather than the later...but that is all an issue of personal taste, and very subjective.

Love as thou wilt.
I loved Magician and the 2 or 3 sequels were fairly decent too. After that, the series failed to keep my attention though - so agree with other posts on here.
Empire series with Feist & Janny Wurts were nothing short of stunning. It remains right up there among my faves of all time

I think I read up to about The King's Buccaneer in high school and then got bored with it, but I re-read Magician a while back, and enjoyed it much more on the second go around. So I've read most of his stuff now. It's a little light-weight, but he tells a good story, so I'm intending to collect his books, if only to fortify my fantasy collection.
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
Endut!
Hoch Hech!
