I'm thinking of reading his Trilogies, the ones that start with Icewind Dale Trilogy... So 2 questions:

1) In what order should they be read? I read that there are some spin-offs to the main books...

2) How good are they? I'm asking because I was slightly disappointed when I finally read LotR. They were good... but there was just too little witty dialogues and action that makes you want to continue reading and not put the book down ("The Hobbit" was an exception - it was slightly better in this regard). While everyone is praising Salvatore's works, are they similar to LotR?

For bonus points:
Any good place to buy them? I'll look through amazon and ebay, but if you could suggest a better online place that ships to Ireland (or a bookshop near Dublin for that matter) I'd be happy to hear about it.
