i think you guys get the point. i like fantasy. would prefer something a bit more grown up than some of these. i do not like sci-fi. lookin for fantasy suggestions. let me know if you guys have any.

some authors i have been suggested to check out are steven erikson and salvatore. any thoughts on these 2?

also- not be incredibly picky but as would seem obvious i love a good series. prefer to have a bunch to tackle instead of a 1 hit wonder.

if you want a nice happy go lucky humorous fantasy find the xanth series by piers anthony a very punny series

for more contemparary mix of fantasy and current day
Dresden Files Series by jim butcher

Women of the Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong


for more of a medieval technoledgy era
Belgariad and Mallorean Series by David Eddings

Dragonlance series by margaret weis and tracy hickman


for more of a 18th century history mixed with magic
jonathan strange and mr norrell - by suzanna clarke

The Name of the Wind- By Patrick Rothfuss- Very good writer, and excellent story telling.

R.A Salvatore you said? Drizzt series is pretty popular; I suggest you try buying the trilogies and reading them together. Dark elf trilogy was very satisfying, and technically the first of the sequel, but I read Icewind dale trilogy first, because it was written first I believe..

Steven Erikson is my favorite active author, followed by George R. R. Martin. If you liked the works of the latter, you'll love the works of the former. I'd also recommend Tom Lloyd's 'Twilight Reign' series -- he's stated that both authors have influenced his writing, evidenced by the combination of epic fantasy and gritty tone common amongst the three of them.

thanks everyone for your help, ill be searchin for a new book manana!

Legend by David Gummell is one of the best books I've ever read. The sequels in the series are not good at all and I couldn't even finish the next one, but the first book is awesome and ends itself (i.e. you don't need to read the next books for the story of this one to end). The next couple of books are just set in the same world.

kk thats understandable, ive definitely had books like this before ill lookinto it. thanks.

? such hostility. shouldnt you be roaming around in the trade section? are you lost?

Why don't you like sci-fi ? Because of all the overly technical themes? Because imo most sci-fi is alot more mature than any fantasy.
Try something from Philip K. Dick, it definitely won't disappoint you, and you really take something with you after reading one of his books (he wrote blade runner, minority report ( just a short story), total recall ( short story ), a scanner darkly, the idea for matrix and lots more ). Awesome !
