To give you some information on my tastes, I should say that my favorite fantasy books are the Elric saga by Moorcock. Recently, I have read The Chronicles of the Ravens, and it is a close second. I have also liked The Belgariad. I didn't really like middle Earth.
I also really enjoy Science-fiction, my favorite being Foundation, but I have also liked Hamilton's Reality Dysfunction.
I have looked at a few things, but I really don't know. I have never read the Wheel of Time or Martin's A song of ice and fire; as to the former, it seems that only the first four books are good right?
As to the latter, I am not sure I will like it since it's not really fantasy per se.
There is also Kristine Kathryn Rush 's Feys that I thought might appeal to me.
Well, any opinions, advices...would be greatly appreciated :-) |
Sweety, I have no idea what you should read, but your nick put a grin on my face.
I suggest reading the aspiring writers section and maybe giving some aspiring writers some tips.
Good is a matter of opinion, what people say isn't good in Song of Ice and Fire or Wheel of Time or even Dark Tower is because they get bored with the story. I myself got bored with the middle books, then the excitement picks back up when you near the end of the long journey, but that long journey doesn't matter if you don't know what happened in the middle.
