Ed Greenwood's Elminster series. It gets so much word-of-mouth for being the basis of the Forgotten Realms but it's honestly some of the worst fantasy writing I've ever forced myself through.

A lot of early DnD stuff was awful. Even as an adolescent I could tell it was bad writing.

The only good DnD writer I've ever run into was Raymond E. Feist, specifically his early books, and they weren't even officially part of DnD. (He also got worse as he went along. I honestly only think the first 5 books plus the ones with Janny Wurts are worth it...and I admit I have not done any rereads of late.)
