5. myLot reputation of 99/100. allyoftherain (3046)   ranked 2 out of 9,004 in reading   2 years ago

I LOVE fantasy. Especially high fantasy (the kind that takes place entirely in its own world) but I'll settle for some good urban fantasy. I'm not sure I can list my favorite authors in my favorite order (You mean I have to CHOOSE? cry)... but I'll list five that I love. I'm going to call J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis two authors I love as a given and that everybody already knows about, is that okay?

Peter S. Beagle (The Last Unicorn)
Terry Brooks (Shannara and Magic Kingdom of Landover)
Rick Riordan (LOVE Percy Jackson!)
Alison Croggon (Books of Pellinor)
Karen Hancock (Legend of the Guardian-King)


myLot reputation of 90/100. jamuls (352)   ranked 1,047 out of 9,004 in reading  2 years ago

T. Brooks is also good! the last novel i read was, forget the title, but it's a combination, sort of, the Shannara series and the Knight of the Word. it's good, i was amazed on how he was able to patch those 2 different stories together. thanks!


myLot reputation of 99/100. allyoftherain (3046)   ranked 2 out of 9,004 in reading  2 years ago

I haven't read any of the Knight of the Word books yet, but I'm going to. I love his books.

JKLlewthor (23)   ranked 4,707 out of 9,004 in reading  2 years ago

I'm a huge Tolkiein fan and I must say that CS Lewis is also fantastic. David Eddings produces tomes which are far more corpulent for me, alas, I just don't have the time to trudge through them all


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24280)   ranked 234 out of 9,004 in reading  2 years ago

I read Eddings' first series back in the 80's (I think), and it wasn't bad, but then it turned into another series and yet another, and eventually I just lost patience with it.


myLot reputation of 90/100. jamuls (352)   ranked 1,047 out of 9,004 in reading  2 years ago

Eddings' got 5 sets of book series's i think and all of them are good. you guys should try Robert Jordan if you like Tolkien. :)


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24280)   ranked 234 out of 9,004 in reading  2 years ago

Same comment about Jordan as about Eddings, too many books. I wouldn't know where to start....
