liamc2 Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Fabled Lands is the best Fantasy book series ever made. A real text based RPG book series written by and author that was the producer for the White Dwarf Warhammer magazine. .*cackles* very good books. . As for normal fantasy books, you cannot beat Lord of the Rings (Yes I did read the whole series when I was in grade 5, when I was ten ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Harlequin Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 [font=gothic][color=crimson]Chinese fantasy? I've got a book lying around, by Ricardo Pinto, but I haven't read it yet. I'm pretty sure it's Chinese fantasy. Anybody read it? And it is so Fyodor. There is no J in it, anywhere. Most of my books I get from the library, but our library often has to order them from another library. I've read my way through mine several times. But yes, you should definately acquire Anne Rice. And Liam, anything based on Wizards Of The Coast is a hell of a lot better than a Warhammer author. Trust me. I've read a number of Warhammer books, Drachenfels etc (By the way, anybody know who wrote that?), and they were nowhere near as good as Forgotten Realms or the Magic: The Gathering books. 16th time...[/font][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Posted July 19, 2002 Author Share Posted July 19, 2002 OH OH!!! Books of Magic!!! I love them! Best comics I've EVER read (along with Boneheads)! It's like Harry Potter for grown-ups! Too bad that I've only got a chance to read but a few of them (it's the lowsy library's fault again!). And for Harlequin, it is Fjodor in the Finnish translation, so... Some of the fantasy-luvers have critizised me for reading only translated books, but I prefer them because it makes the reading of a book with 200-1000 pages A LOT easier! I've read Ende's "Neverending Story", few Pratchett's and "Starship Titanic" in English, but that's all. Maybe when I run out of reading, I'll read those tiny paperback-books from unknown authors (there sure is plenty of them!)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 The king of Fantasy writing is J.R.R Tolkien. I already read L.O.T.R, know I am deep into The Silmarillion (which I think is even better than The Lord of The Rings). As for the age thing. I agree that it is for more mature readers because some fantasy books are very complex and hard to understand. I remember last year in my english class, someone did a report on L.O.T.R, and they said they hated it, I mean they couldn't even pronounce Aragorn's name, they pronounced it 'Aragorm'. I hate it when people pick up books like that and don't even understand what they are reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Harlequin Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 [font=gothic][color=crimson]I'd disagree. I read LOTR when I was eight, and I loved it. I've read it at least twenty times since. Finnish translation you say? You got lucky. You don't have to stop yourself from bursting out laughing everytime you read his name. Fjodor would make more sense though, assuming that the bererkers are of a somewhat Scandanavian stock. 17th time...[/font][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
