Favorite fantasy book? (Page 11)

shortallman: I agree with Dr the last books of wheel of time seemed out of pace and hurried.

hungrythirstywolf: Anything by Steven Erikson, if you are committed enough.

Angel M: Give The Keeper by Angel M. a try. First time writer trying to get a foot in the door.

Dalai Mama: just read tigana, pretty good

Metaverseguy: dalai, I agree great book.

Dalai Mama: I read a lot of the realms books too, just on a re-read through my library lol

autumnal_box: A Song of Ice and Fire... hands down.

Metaverseguy: HBO will finish the series before George RR Martin does. I wonder how that will turn out.

autumnal_box: Well, for sure it will deviate from the books. Its a good and bad thing, I suppose... book readers don't know what's coming next and so the power of spoilage won't be used to threaten people. LOL.

Dalai Mama: oh yeah I forgot about that series autumn!! I find they always mess up the pictures the authors put in my head with movies lol Change characters looks etc. Although lord of the rings was sweet

electrician25hr: Mah favorite fantasy book was Deep Throat with Linda Love Lace

Wonderbunny: At least you realise it was fantasy.

electrician25hr: The Quran is a good fantasy book it makes great azz wipe......

Wonderbunny: What about the bible?

debs_: Sword of Shannara and the whole Shannara series.

shortallman: ^^cool books

Metaverseguy: game of thrones is nice. i remember hearing about song of ice and fire before it became big and into a tv show. good thing they picked a great cast but i choose netflix over hbo so i gotta wait until they release on dvd or otherwise get hbo go.

a lot of fantasy stories are really hit and miss. takes a lot of time to become as good a writer as tolkien. personally i think he easily tops cs lewis, except for perhaps lion, witch and the wardrobe. i'm tired of picking up a book then reading 100 pages hoping for it to turn into something nice then being forced to throw it in the trash and burn it to ashes and using a crucifix to ward away its evil curse. anime is pretty good fantasy sometimes. alright most of the time it's senseless fighting with crap story and awkward costume design, but beats searching through hundreds of books at the library to try and find something worth reading.

ever watch the sy-fy channel? dear god why do they even try. how can they waste all the film roll on making a pilot for awful platititudes such as 'sharknado', zombie romance films, alien gangster flicks, and other garbage that should have been garbaged with the creator executed by a firing squad and his/her entire family dipped in an acid bath?

ms_awesome: Ever read the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant by Stephen R Donaldson

shortallman: It's this the series where the main character was a monk?

ms_awesome: No a writer who was left by wife and friends after becoming a leper

shortallman: Ok cool I may look these up. Cheers.

ms_awesome: I t is in all a series of ten books

Innuendo75: The entire RA Salvatore Dark Elf series of trillogies is an amazing journey. Game of Thrones was a good series to and fantastic coming to life in the show.

RickyH: The A Song Of Ice And Fire series.

mishamigo: the Eragon series by Christopher Paolini. great plot, plenty of detail, action packed battles and a good lump of humor. what more could you want from a book? oh, yeah, and there's DRAGONS!!!!!
