spam me with fantasy books
 

im currently reading the third novel in the Artemis Fowl series.I tend to enjoy books with crazy twists ,futuristic settings,with just a hint of deviousness. So if you have any sugggestive readings feel free to share them

Hairy Potter = gay fantasy

The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. I have read the first nine books several times each. I will read #10 sometime soon.

The Darksword Trilogy by Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman

A Game of Thrones (part of a series, but I have not read the others) by George R.R. Martin.

SpaceAce

Most of Robert Heinlein's stuff is good.

Are you that Damn Fli guy?

Ditto. It's A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE series. Most of it reads like an amazing historical account of a middle age, war torn continenet (with a little fantasy mixed in).

A Game of Thrones
A Clash Of Kings
A Storm Of Swords
A Feast For Crows (due soon)

... more planned

i killed him

Discworld series by Terry Pratchett are pretty entertaining. :)

Take a look at Piers Anthony. He has some great books. Try the Xanth series.

You bastard!

This is more of the Horror genre, but I love fantasy books and so I figure you guys would like these too

Laurell K. Hamilton - Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series.
1st book is Guilty Pleasures

Also kind of the same genre is

Christopher Golden - Shadow Saga
1st book is Of Saints And Shadows

Two good series there.

And if you haven't read it...This one is a must for anyone who like Fantasy or Sci Fi

Orson Scott Card - Enders Game

That ought to keep you busy a little while

gimme your email, I'll add you to my lists ;)))

wow nice list...im looking to get these from amazon as we speak..thanx Eric!:thumbsup

Poppy Z Brite if you like vamp dark horror . It's kinda a mix between Ann Rice and Stephen King

Philip Jose Farmer - Riverworld Series
World of Tiers Series


Coupla my favorites

Did you see the movie on cable last month that they did of Riverworld ?
It was done almost like they were going to make a series..

Sure thing. Right now I am reading Dan Brown - Angels and Demons. Pretty good book. Fast paced. Waiting for Harry Potter this weekend and then the 4th book in the Shadow Saga from Christopher Golden comes out on Monday. So I will have my hands full for a while. But if you ever have any good recommendations I am happy to hear them and let me know if you need more as I always try and spread my wings into more stuff.

I didn't really like Rice that much. Too much filler I thought. But I love King. I will check these out for sure.

Thanks

I love Tanith Lee and David Eddings.

Yup. The first book The Sword of Shanarra the first couple chapters is mostly background stuff but after that it flies by!!

Every Shanarra book I've ever read I've sat down and read it in a day. Got that book when I was a young kid and couldn't put it down!! been that way for every Shanarra book Brooks has written. He's coming out with another this summer!:thumbsup

Every book in that list above, with the exception of a few of the Dragonlance books cause there are so many of them I've read at least half a dozern times or more a piece!! Love to read!!

Damn, thought there would be a bunch more posts here. Got some new authors to check out now. Good thread. :thumbsup

Clive Barker is best known for horror, but his fantasy is awesome. Weaveworld, The Great and Secret Show, and I can't recall the name of the sequel to the latter.

An oldie-but-goodie is Maia by Richard Adams. Hot! It's out of print now but I'm sure you can pick it up used. Big, fat epic.

I need to start reading fiction again. Besides what's on this board, I mean.

That one is pretty much a horror book, anyway. Borderline at the very least. The Great and Secret Show is pretty heavy reading. I don't recommend it if you're looking for wonderful worlds of magical fantasy. The Great and Secret Show <B>does</B> have an amusing porn addict character in it, though.
