epic stuff:ok u borat, which authors would you recommend then and why?
Yeah, this is pretty much the spine of a serious fantasy reader's collection. About the only thing you're missing is Vance's Dying Earth series as well as his Lyonesse series (which in my opinion takes the cake of best in show tied with Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series and of course Tolkein's Lord of the Rings).epic stuff:
aforementioned george martin
steven erikson's malazan tales
scott bakker's prince of nothing
robin hobb for how-to-characterise101, anything but her most recent soldier son trilogy which sucks
joe abercrombie's trilogy
patrick rothfuss- name of the wind
a bit different/speculative new weird type fiction
gene wolfe's book of the new sun
anything by china mieville
jeff vandermeer
go into classical stuff and
roger zelazny's amber books
the black company by glen cook
umm fritz leiber's mini-stories about fafrd and grey mouser
lots more but that should get you started.
lol i read that book...... it was alright :Slmfao deltora quest ftw
(Y)anything by china mieville

I didn't mind Hobb's Soldier trilogy - but it is behind the others. I just think she's fantastic.

i found the Shannara series totally different to LOTR. Maybe the elves, dwarfs, etc, were similar but besides that it was different.shannara represents everything that is bad about fantasy- its written soon after LOTR's success and basically brooks tries to emulate everything that tolkien did- it is a blatant ripoff and basically was the forerunner of the hundreds of fantasy books today which are nothing but cheap lotr clones.
narnia is decent- more for a younger audience.
but..but..edward makes my panties wet!!!!!Yea I agree with all u Eragon fans. The plot is waiiii better than Twilight (which is a fun read, lyk once but is sooo overated ). NO matter wat u do don't read Twilight if u r looking for fantasy, its just basically teen romance. But honestly listen to everyone else and read the Inheritance Cycle (tried Brisingr?).
And also avoid the LOrd of the Rings (the book is so boring, nothing like the movie)
*sigh* there's always onethe bible...
Lol, what a twat. Considering you spelt "way" as "wai" (just to mention one grammatical error), which is not even any shorter than spelling it "way", I'm not inclined to listen to any of your advice.Yea I agree with all u Eragon fans.

*sigh* there's always one
Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn anyone?
Lmao. You know that LOTRs was a book before it was a film, right?Yea I agree with all u Eragon fans. The plot is waiiii better than Twilight (which is a fun read, lyk once but is sooo overated ).

Go to Kinokuniya on George St. its across the road from the QVB.. they have an epic comic book section.im aware of that, s*p, i might actually start getting into comics, im a massive fan of the Aliens and Predator universe...
My God you are stupid. LOTR is only boring if you've got the attention span of a rock and an IQ lower than your age.Yea I agree with all u Eragon fans.

Heh heh heh, no reply = we know the answer.Lmao. You know that LOTRs was a book before it was a film, right?
As for good vampire novels, Interview with the Vampire and The Hunger are definitely up there.
Actually I have to semi-agree with Ice Goddess here. LOTR is not written in an manner that's easily readable. I made the mistake of reading it before I was ready, and that was when the Fellowship movie first came out. I also made the mistake of seeing the movie (Fellowship) before reading the books, so even though I read The Two Towers and Return of the King before their corresponding movies were released, I couldn't enjoy them because I already had the mentality they'd be boring.My God you are stupid. LOTR is only boring if you've got the attention span of a rock and an IQ lower than your age.
