Hello

i was wondering if anyone can recommend some good books that have to do with a fantasy realm (complete with witches, warlocks and all the other goodies)

i also ordered two books today

One was "The Alefin Warlock" by Drew J. Cormack

and "The Sword of Shannara" by Terry Brooks

has anyone read either of them?

Would you like some atypical fantasy books?

Cause Wyrm and The Dungeon series are both great fantasy reads. In first and third person(limited) respectively.

Let's see. . . good fantasy. . .

The wayfrer redemption series
Hawkmistress
A Warrior's Tale
Wicked
and its sequal Son Of A Witch

George R. R. Martin and his Song of Ice and Fire.

Steven Erikson and his A Tale of the Malazan Book of the Fallen.

Those are all you need.

For fantasy, i would have to say the Demon Wars sagas by R.A. Salvatore can never disappoint.

i would have to second Song of ice and fire, very good series.

I also really like The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind

i dont know if this would technically count as what you are looking for but the Incarnations of Immortality, by Piers Anthony is also good. and can never go wrong with the Xanth series (as long as puns dont fill you with hate that is)

Blue Adept (dont remember the name of the series, but thats at least one of the books.

Serpentwar Saga, Riftwar Legacy, Conclave of Shadows by Raymond E. Fiest

Discworld

oh and another good one is The Godslayer Chronicles by James Clemens (only 2 books so far to my knowledge but loved em and want more)

erm...theres a bunch more i just cant think of them all right off the top of my head

hope that helped :)

But if you have a weak stomach for overblown monologues that express the writer's questionable views, try and stick to the first two or three books.

Towards the end, sometimes you have five or six pages of "dialogue" to wade through before something happens, then they repeat the conversation again in a slightly different way.

How about " Satanic Verses" by Salman Rushdie ... it's fantasy , fantasy because almost all the guys who translated the book from a language to another suicided themselves after reading it

Dune by Herbert is good, Hitchhiker's Guide by Douglas Adams is good too

Improbable by Adam Fawer isn't fantasy, but it's still fucking good.

xD
i almost blurted harry potter for the irony of its existence.

the sword of shannara's a snappin' book, just read the series in order if you continue.


i would recomend The Book of Mormon because it's a good read O.0.o_O_0_o.O

He was looking for fantasy, not sci-fi.

But hitchhikers is an excellent read. I need Life, The Universe, and Everything now.

Of course you would.

from the moment the thought crossed me, Tlovid, I knew you'd comment it. man i'm good...

Although I suppose, since this is a thread for fantasy books...

I'm surprised no one has suggested Pratchett yet.

I don't read Pratchett.

does it matter? the book of mormon is always a good book regardless of your interests >.> i have freedom of speech, you can't deny my ability to express my opnion <.<

And don't stifle my right to express mine.

did i?

Yes you did.
