Re: What is your favorite fantasy book?
As with most everyone else, I dig LOTR.
I also like George RR Martin's Song of Fire and Ice (My favorite fantasy type series) Feist's Magician series Butcher's Codex Alera series Salvatore's Icewind Dale and Dark Elf series'. Other series that aren't fantasy that I absolutely love and highly recommend are by an author named W.E.B. Griffin. His series The Corps and Presidential Agent are incredible. The Corps is a mix of fictional and real characters and real events of Marines and politics from 1939 in China to the Korean War. Great stuff. Presidential Agent is spy/international politics type stuff with a mix of real people/events and fictional as well. Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you ...Iron Maiden - The Wicker Man TUTORIAL FOR RE-BASING FIGURES 3hrs 43mins 32secs = 1242nd of 8808 overall - 1988 Honolulu Marathon |

Re: What is your favorite fantasy book?
I'd have to say The Elenium-trilogy by David Eddings. Strong characters and character-interaction and a believable world (which is not surprising, since Eddings has the tendency to take our world and give a fantasy spin to it. But never in a way that makes it seems trite or boring).

I have to agree that this is the best series of books that I have ever read. Robert Jordan is right up there with J. R. R. Tolkein, in that for every word published in the 15 book series there is a 1000 written in background history and languages. Book 1 was published in 1991 and book 14 will be coming out this year. Like J.R.R. Tolkein's "The Hobbit", Robert Jordan has written a prequel to the story called "A New Spring". If you have the Time, Wheel yourself to your nearest bookstore and pick it up. You will not be disapointed. If a chicken and a 1/2, can lay an egg and a 1/2 in a day and a 1/2, how long would it take a grasshopper with one wooden leg to kick all the seeds out of a cucumber? |

Tie between Harry Potter and Codex Alera.
Although if we have to go further back in time, before those two series, I'd say Chronicles of Narnia hands-down. |

Check out ReH, nearly all his stories are short pulp fiction tales, quick, easy reads and some of the best writing ever. It is sad we did not get more from him... peace A cloud can change its semblance, yet retain its will With the intimacy of destruction, One knows what it is to be alive The empty sky holds no reflection, for sorrow - Eslo Rudkey |

My personal favorites are the Legend of Drizzt and The Hunter's Blade trilogy, The Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the Kane Chronicles, the Ranger's Apprentice, Jurrasic Park( I don't know if you guys would consider it a fantasy or not), the Inheritance Cycle, and The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Micheal Scott.

Re: What is your favorite fantasy book?
Most of my favorites have been mentioned (Jordan's Wheel of Time, Martin's Song of Ice and Fire, Sanderson's Mistborn, Eddings' Belgariad and Mallorean, Feist's Riftwar and Serpentwar...)
I'll add- The Kingkiller Chronicles (or is it "Chronicle"?) by Pat Rothfuss (be warned- he's as slow as George RR Martin, but his books are amazing!) Elantris by Brandon Sanderson (stand-alone) |

Re: What is your favorite fantasy book?
I don't think it's as much fantasy as it is political (dare I say satire), but I do see your point.

Re: What is your favorite fantasy book?
Oh my... I must go look at my bookshelves, as well as library reading history before answering. Too many to choose off the top of my head.
