Fantasy Books: Which One Do You Know Best?
Moderator: Steve
Right almost forgot Alexander Lyods (erm how do you spell that) series. I think I read that a long long time ago. Non the less its a great series. Sure its a bit childish, but its a fun read. I will continue adding books as I remember them. As you guys post I start remembering so many old novels...wow.
We should have a great many fewer disputes in the world if words were taken for what they are, the signs of our ideas, and not for things themselves.

Lloyd Alexander, the Taran the Wanderer series. They're pretty good. I like the prophetic pig.
Would the Belisarius saga by Drake and Flint (IIRC) count as fantasy? Those are pretty good.

Are those any good? I've liked her sci-fi, but I'm wary of science fiction authors writing fantasy.Ted C wrote:Moon - The Deed of Paksenarrion
Another great spoof. It's really funny once the Mob gets involved.Asprin - Myth Adventures
That's Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, isn't it? I liked that one.Symmetry wrote:Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa

Why isn’t that ever an issue of politics? Because you don’t live in a democracy. You live in a plutocracy. Money rules.
Yeah, I just finished reading it and it was good. Her Herris Serrano scifi series is also worth reading.The Dark wrote:Are those any good? I've liked her sci-fi, but I'm wary of science fiction authors writing fantasy.Ted C wrote:Moon - The Deed of Paksenarrion

I think most people would agree with you, its just that between the psionics and ... well just the psionics convinced me to put this nto the fantasy catagory like The Rowan.Singular Quartet wrote:That's more sci-fi, in my opinion... but I suppose it could be considered high fantasy.Symmetry wrote:Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa

Well... the engines and biological WMD kinda lean it towards sci-fi... so I guess it falls inot "post-apocolyptic high fantasy"Symmetry wrote:I think most people would agree with you, its just that between the psionics and ... well just the psionics convinced me to put this nto the fantasy catagory like The Rowan.Singular Quartet wrote:That's more sci-fi, in my opinion... but I suppose it could be considered high fantasy.Symmetry wrote:Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa
I know what you mean, but nothing says you can't have both magic and high technology in a fantasy setting. Just look at the Final Fantasy games.Singular Quartet wrote:Well... the engines and biological WMD kinda lean it towards sci-fi... so I guess it falls inot "post-apocolyptic high fantasy"Symmetry wrote: I think most people would agree with you, its just that between the psionics and ... well just the psionics convinced me to put this nto the fantasy catagory like The Rowan.
