Sally_ Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 does anyone read fantasy books? I'm reading the robert jordan series, the terry goodkind series and the george r.r. martin series I loved them all and I'm waiting for the next ones to come out! can anyone recommend any fantasy books that I could read? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldengrey Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I love fantasy novels, but I'm a bit picky, cos I reread things. A lot. Some books are fine the first time, but seem to get worse with each successive read. However, I found that these have all stood up to a dozen or more readings... The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion by JRR Tolkien are without doubt the high-water mark for fantasy novels. Anything by Neil Gaiman is great (so far, anyway). Stardust and his short story collection, Smoke & Mirrors are my favourites, but Neverwhere and American Gods are just as good. Also, The Lyonesse Trilogy by Jack Vance is superb, but it's out-of-print. (I think it's worth looking around for, though.) The Dune Chronicles would perhaps be considered closer akin to sci-fi than to fantasy, but they're still pretty fantastic. And, of course, there's always Harry Potter. Seriously.

Dissolved Girl Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 I used to read this one author, Francesca Lia Block. Not all her books were fantasy but she had a couple and I really liked them. But, then again, I liked everything she wrote. :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
