Renius Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 hi there what are your favourite fantasy books:D Quote
Oblomov Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Absolutely no contest here. It would be The Consort by Anthony Hextall-Smith. The book is a romantic fantasy set in the South Seas, the only work of fiction by a war historian. Quote
Roland Butter Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Could you reword the title of this thread, please? You got my hopes up unnecessarily Quote
Icecream Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Roland! You are joking? Choose my favourite fantasy??? Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, children's fantasy like the Magic Faraway Tree. I adore fantasy. LOTR is probably my all time fantasy. Quote
Kell Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 I don't really read much in the way of fantasy apart from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, but I see them as more satirical. I do love Maia by Richard Adams though - it's a bit saucy, and very thick, but very good! Quote
Kylie Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 I think I prefer The Hobbit to The Lord of the Rings, but it's been a while since I've read it. There's Harry Potter of course, and I love a trilogy by Jonathan Wylie called The Unbalanced Earth and another standalone book called Dreamweaver. Quote
Adam Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Could you reword the title of this thread, please? You got my hopes up unnecessarily LOL, I got a good chuckle out of that Quote
Laramie Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 echo I LOVE your avatar! so, yeah...fave fantasy book...His Dark Materials (Phillip Pullman), The Old Kingdom series (Garth Nix), Artemis Fowl (Eoin Colfer), the Pellinor series (Alison Croggon) and loads, really...oh, sleepwalkers...I can't chose really Quote
chicken Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 I loved Lord of the Rings but I did find the 3rd book hard work, same with His Dark Materials trilogy, I kept wanting to give Lyra a slap (is that just me?) I loved Tad Williams War of the Flowers and would highly recommend it. Quote
Echo Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 echo I LOVE your avatar! Thanks!! It's a picture called Fairy Queen. I love fairies, and I love the color green, so there you go! As for fantasy, besides The Lord of the Rings, I love The Silmarillion, Harry Potter, and classics like Grimm's Fairy Tales. Quote
happyanddandy Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Years ago I read the Thomas Covenant chronicles on OH's recommendation - I think there were 3 - I don't know why we don't have them any more. Anyone read them? - I did enjoy them - he was such a reluctant hero in his world - not really a hero either if I remeber rightly Quote
jenmck Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 I love Terry Brook's Shannara series. And Anne McCaffery's Pern books. Quote
poppy Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 I really enjoyed Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's War of Souls and Deathgate series Quote
HateCutGrass Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 I like fantasy. Read tolkiens 'The Hobbit'.....and the first two books of LOTR, after that i couldn't go any further. Just got bogged down in mind numbing detail. I've read a few books based on games workshop's warhammer world. Although mainly aimed at kids and young adults, it's surprisingly very dark. I enjoyed them immensly. Never read 'Harry Potter'. I don't think i could read them to be honest, although i enjoyed the movie 'The Philosophers Stone'. Terry Pratchett. Never,ever read anything from Mr P. Fritz Leiber. Wasn't this guy credited with starting the 'sword & sorcery' genre?....Well i've never read anything from this guy also. Although i've heard good things about his writing. Quote

Loopyloo100 Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I loved The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings and really enjoyed the first of the Discworld series: The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett. I would love to own "the luggage" Quote
wrathofkublakhan Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 the Pern Series by Anne McCaffrey -- I've been following this series for 30 years. Quote
Sedge Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Fantasy of a sort - the Duncton series by William Horwood. Like Watership Down, but with moles. And a lot more blood. Quote
