    Finder's Stone trilogy is an excellent FR trilogy which also involves gods and of course Finder's Bane which in a way resumes the plot and Tymora's Luck which I have not been able to read as of yet. Unfortunaetly as far as I know the Finder's Stone trilogy is out of print and has been for quite some time so you'd probably had to find a used one from somewhere. It seems though that wizards of the coast has started to reprint old FR books so perhaps Finder's Stone will too be reprinted soon.

    And now that we're talking about reprinted books one can't be without mentioning the moonshae trilogy which has recentley been reprinted. It is the first FR trilogy and involves atleast Chauntea(Earthmother) and Bhaal. I have not read it yet but I'm going to get to it once I have the time. ;)

    Then there is is the shadows of the avatar trilogy which also involves gods, atleast Shar but personally I don't think it comes anywhere near the level of the avatar trilogy. Probably because I find Ed Greenwood's books to be awfully booring. From the ones that Tal mentioned the Elminster trilogy is mostly about Elminster and involves only Mystra and her relationship with El, and since I don't like Greenwood's writing I don't like the Elminster series. Considering though how many books there are about Elminster, they must have some appeal for someone in some corner of the universe. ;)

    Anyway that's about it for the books I know. Hope it helps.

    EDIT: Doh, Tymora's Luck and Finder's Bane were the Lost Gods books Tal mentioned. I would reccomend to try and find the Finder's Stone trilogy first if you are planning to read Finder's Bane. The plots are separate and it won't be difficult getting into Finder's Bane even without having read the trilogy but you'll probably get more out of the book if you read the trilogy first.

    Ah I had passed that book by while looking at the book lists thinking it was just a collection of not-so-good short FR books/stories, guess I was wrong lol. Thanks i'll try to find Finder's Stone trilogy, and buy Lost Gods books along with Avatar trilogy.
