Thought it would be interesting to see what everyone's favorite fantasy book is. I know there is a thread similar to this asking favorite author or series, but I'll just keep it simple and ask your single favorite fantasy book you've ever read. Maybe this will help everyone,myself included, with coming up with future books to read as well. I'll start with mine Lud in the Mist by Hope Mirrlees Have a pleasant day everyone!
Great book, have you read the sequel yet? Haven't had the time myself, I've been inundated with books to read.
Yeah, I've read it and I enjoyed it. Not as much as the first book, but still a great read. I highly recommend it!
The A Song of Ice and Fire series is my favourite. If I had to pick the best of the series then I would say A Storm of Swords Part Two: Blood and Gold.
i'm rereading through a song of ice and fire now, the writing is so detailed but it still manages to hold my interest. i love them.
Can't choose, it changes. Before I read A song of ice and fire I'd say in the series department Robin Hobb or Katherine Kerr (besides the originator Tolkien of course), but now A song of ice and fire is certainly among them as well. Ridicilously intriguiging, very nicely written :biggrin:
I like the malazan books I'm only to number 7 right now I'm taking a break and reading some of the starwars expanded universe.
I loved Tad Williams' Memory, Sorrow and Thorn trilogy. And for a peek at what might be happening tomorrow, his Otherland series is mindblowing.
'Mockingbird' and 'Man Who Fell To Earth' by Walter Tevis--Hyperion Series from Dan Simmons--Seanan McGuire 'A Local Habitation.' LOTR and Hobbit--Carlos Casteneda whole series. Dune. Anything by Mike McQuay.
I come from Poland, so I have to say: The Witcher by Spakowski: http://zazna.com/Q6VlYjAzY2/Andrzej-Sapkowski---The-Witcher-Wiki.html
Great books! And great spinoff video game as well... Like others have said A Song of Ice and Fire are very close to being my favorites. Just finished A Dance with Dragons,the world Martin creates is so vivid and engaging. Great characters and personalities. Can't wait for the rest of the series.
Thanks I'm very happy You wrote this I usually don't play such games, but I loved The Witcher video game. But unfortunately I don't know this book "A Song of Ice and Fire". Could anybody write sth more about it?
Tolkien's Middle-Earth tales take the cake for me. It's hard to choose a favorite; The Hobbit and (to a lesser extent) LOTR have a very strong nostalgic influence, but The Silmarillion is such an incredible piece of work... Honorable mentions: Jack Vance -- Tales of the Dying Earth Robert E. Howard -- Conan short stories Edgar Rice Burroughs -- A Princess of Mars
I am still with Harry Potter series fantasy books and I have done watching all the series of Harry Potter but still I want to read the books because whenever I am reading this book I think I am part of this series.My imagination in fantasy becomes realistic whenever I read all the pages of it.
