Do you read fantasy novels??

I love fantasy, the only problem I have is finding good one off stories. As much as I like series some times I just want a nice quick fix without having to wait months/years for the next one to come out!

I enjoy good fantasy novels, but good ones are hard to find. The Inheritance series has been really good so far. Of course LOTR. I tried Terry Brooks Shannara series but I found them a bit shallow. Terry Brooks did write a book I found fascinating called, "A Knight of the Word".

I tend to read books by R A Salvatore and other authors like Mercedes Lackey and Anne McCaffrey. Books in the Forgotten Realms series and Dragonlance series too.

i do when I was younger and have plenty of time...Sad to say now, My time wont allow me anymore...lol

I have read a few in my time. Tolkein is by far the greatest, but I would recommend David Gemmell, Trudi Canavan and Stephen Donaldson. Great writers who don't just do one offs, they write at least three or four in a series, so you always have something more to look forward to. I love that feeling when I finish a book and can't wait to get the next in the series, because I am guaranteed to enjoy many more hours.

Yes, I have read several of those authors books, Raymond E Fiest, Robert Jordan, along with Terry Brooks, Terry Goodkind, L.E. Modesitt, jr, along with several others.

As far as I am concerned..I do not read fantasy. I would have my own fantasies through thinking..visualising..

I enjoyed Harry Potter, but not because I thought it was great fantasy fiction. I have read the rest but not particularly impressed with them, especially the Eragon series. I was bored halfway through Eragon and was really glad I didn't pay for eldest. I give Robert Jordan credit for what he has brought to the genre but dislike everything thing of his that I have read. I know I have books by feist and chester, but none of them are very memorable or I would be able to tell you which ones. My fantasy authors of preference are Harlan Ellison, Charles de Lint, Ursula Le Guin, Emma Bull, Patricia Briggs, Neil Gaiman, and a host of others who do mostly short fantasy work. For the most part I dislike high fantasy. I prefer urban fantasy when I read, which is probably why I write it. But given a choice I choose scifi over fantasy almost any day.

Yep, I like fantasy fiction because it's fairly easy to digest and keeps me interested throughout. I particularly like Garth Nix and Diana Wynne Jones. To be honest, though, it's been a while since I have read anything at all. I should get back in the habit, it beats wasting time on MyLot (oops)!
