Ice #1   Posted 1 year ago Reply Just seeing what people think are good

Floreance #2   Posted 1 year ago Reply Well, my personal favorite is Dennis Jurgensen. Especially his Relief series. But i don't think his books are in any languages besides Danish. But i don't think Mangas and normal books can't be compared to each other, so i have to say Akira Toriyama too :D

KitteyRin #3   Posted 1 year ago Reply I have a lot of trouble picking between a few- Jane Lindskold, Mercedes Lackey, Robert Jordan, Stephanie Meyer and Anne Bishop. I'll agree with Floreance, too, on the manga bit. In that case, though, I go for series' over authors. I don't always like every single manga-ka's work, and so I won't say anything on that. XP

DannyLilithborne #4   Posted 1 year ago Reply Douglas Adams. (I know what you're thinking, but if you don't think HHG2G qualifies as fantasy, you need to read more science fiction.)

KitteyRin #5   Posted 1 year ago Reply Oh, I'll agree with Doulass Adams- he's most definitely fantasy. Anne McCaffery, however, is all Sci-fi; but it's probably a good thing that people tend to lump Science Fiction and Fantasy into one combined category.

I've only read the first ten Xath novels but they were great. Douglas Adams fiction is it's own genre in itself if you ask me.

BlackandRedStreaks #7   Posted 1 year ago Reply Stepenie Meyers' Twilight series is definitely my favorite vampire series. But other than her, I find most fantasy to be repetitive and boring.

Klepto #8   Posted 1 year ago Reply I have a whole horde of favorite fantasy authors, but my top three are Piers Anthony, Jane Yolen, and Erin Hunter. >^_^< MEOW!

Klepto #9   Posted 1 year ago, in reply to post #6 by Reply Psst! >.> Get Xone of Contention, I think it's novel #21. It has my character Heather in it! *dances* I can't believe he used her! XD I wrote to him when I was ten and XoC came out when I was...twenty? I'm still psyched about it! >^_^< MEOW!

NotACar #10   Posted 1 year ago Reply Probably John C. Wright. I've only read the Chronicles of Chaos trilogy of his, but I really liked it. It seems like everyone I ask has never heard of him... anyone read John C. Wright?

itserikz #11   Posted 1 year ago Reply DNA for the Win :-D I love Douglas Adams. Always will. Edit: Although I've only read one of his books, Takashi Matsuoka's "Cloud of Sparrows" is a great novel, with history and fantasy mixed together. Very good :-D

Amphrite #12   Posted 1 year ago Reply it's seems like there are alot of Douglas adams fans. sad to say i am possibly one of them. i like David Eddings and Raymond Fiest are my two faves. but i also love Tamora Pierce. My friend got me hooked and i have tried to read every series but there are too many

DrunkenPrayer #13   Posted 1 year ago Reply I don't read a lot of fantasy but for what it's worth I really like David Gemmell's stuff. He doesn't seem to go for the traditional fantasy fair with lots of mystical creatures and magic (though they are there). I've yet to finish Stephen Donaldson's, Thomas Covenant novels but what I've read I realy like and it seemed quite gritty. I'll just add I really enjoyed Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susannah Clark.

MeZergy #14   Posted 1 year ago Reply Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman

Feball3001 #15   Posted 1 year ago Reply My favorites are Eoin Colfer and Dianna Wynne Jones

Ice #16   Posted 1 year ago Reply I personally like Feist, Goodkind, Gemmell and of course Pratchett (but am always open to ideas

Saa #17   Posted 1 year ago Reply Well if you consider artmis fowl, the supernaturalist and the wish list a group of fantasy books then Eoin Colfer is my choice

Halifax #18   Posted 1 year ago Reply R. A. Salvatore is one of the few fantasy writers I can read consistently. His description and character development are phenomenal.

DrunkenPrayer #19   Posted 1 year ago Reply I'll just add I agree with Halifax, I still need to pick up the final book of The Hunters Blades trilogy. I nearly jumped for joy at a few points in the second book.

Halifax #20   Posted 1 year ago, in reply to post #19 by DrunkenPrayer Reply You haven't read the third one yet? That is, by far, the best of the trilogy. I'm just waiting for him to start his next one. I'd say more about it, but that would involve ruining the book for you.

Shady #21   Posted 1 year ago Reply J.R.R.TOLKIEN!!!!!! He's the master of fantasy!!!!!!!

jekyll #22   Posted 1 year ago Reply Mark Waden is god

Xandrad #23   Posted 1 year ago, in reply to post #14 by MeZergy Reply Mmm. You said it. Neil Gaiman is superb. Does some really messed up, yet touching stuff. Beautiful.

RyoBakura #24   Posted 1 year ago Reply dan abnett. any day.

RyoBakura #25   Posted 1 year ago Reply dan abnett. any day.

Netish #26   Posted 1 year ago Reply mercedes lackey, terry prachett, douglas adams, and the list goes on...

hellbear66 #27   Posted 1 year ago Reply Jane Yolan and Neil Gaiman. Hands down.

wildfillysama #28   Posted 1 year ago Reply My favourite fantasy authors... Terry Pratchett, Robin Hobb, David Eddings (early stuff), Scott Lynch, Branden Sanderson and Patrick Rothfuss. All of them brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

MartaQueenofKittens #29   Posted 1 year ago Reply Diana Wynne Jones probably. Chrestomanci is too cool. I liked Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell too. Does Salman Rushdie count? Midnight's Children is sorta fantasy. ^_^

aikouikirisu #30   Posted 6 months ago Reply It use to be J.K. Rowling, but she got topped by Stephanie Meyer. Woot! Vampires!
