Favorite fantasy book

What fantasy books do you prefer?

I just love Robert Jordans - Wheel of time

J'aran · 01-22-2002, 06:58 AM

Allright, let me be the first to give this particular answer. I have a feeling I certainly won't be the last...

*drumroll*

The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R Tolkien. (surprise, surprise)

This is IMO the standard work of modern fantasy.

My favourite fantasy book is -----> The Lord of the Rings (you all know the author so I will not write who is).

to throw some variety into the mix.

R.A. Salvatore's Seige of Darkness

Number 2 Prince Of Lies

Number 3 Star wars Bounty Hunter Trilogy

Number 4 Dragnonlance Saga all 3 books make one very good long one.

Legolas · 01-22-2002, 02:46 PM

ATM, the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind, with LOTR a very close second.

Favorite's a tough one to come up with; it depends on mood and particular qualities I'm considering at a given time. Nonetheless, the following would be in there:

Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd & the Grey Mouser series (well, the first 5)

Fletcher Pratt's Well of the Unicorn

Jack Vance's The Green Pearl

Pratt & de Camp's Land of Unreason

Pratt & de Camp's The Incomplete Enchanter (parts 1, 2, 5)

ER Eddison's The Worm Ouraboros

I would have to say that Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series is a favourite for me.

Ryanamur · 01-23-2002, 12:48 PM

1- LOTR
2- Sword of Truth serie (last book wasn't that good though)
3- The Whell of Time serie (last 2 books weren't that great)
4- Harry Potter is a close runner up (I haven't read the last book yet)

I'll have to be predictable and go with LOTR too

It's just such a wonderful book, I read it years before the film came out.

I think the Dragonlance series is my favorite fantasy novel series that I have read.
namely, the Chronicles and the Legends.
