All great Works of fantasy, the only ones I've never read are Mary Stewart and Juliet Marillier. I've seen Juliet Marillier's works before and always wondered if they were worth reading, mainly because I like some action in my books and I've read ...
I'm going to cheat and include lots of books. I just can't narrow them down to five! And the order is random.
A Song of Ice and Fire (GRRM)
Anything written by Juliet Marillier
Kushiel's Dart (et seq, although I don't think she's ever bettered the...
I'm just reading America Gods by Gaimen, I must admit I am very impressed by his work so far.
Never read any Haydon though, would you recommend her books to me?
Apologise for the late replies guys.
I've heard of her now Sarah, thanks to you I'll check some of her work out. I'm itching for a good Fantasy to read, it's been a while since I had one. I've been reading historic fiction of late, while this is ...
Hard!
At least it's favourite not necessarily critically best as it were. Hmm...
1. Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien (I've been reading it for 15 years and still love it, but I adore overly descriptive stuff sometimes).
2. Symphony of Ages b...
Tricky to be honest and tis hard to place in order:
1) Legend - David Gemmell
2) A song for Fire and Ice - GRRM
3) Malazan Book of the Fallen - Steven Erikson
4) Discworld - Terry Pratchett
5) (I'll need to think about this one some more)
Hi, Fantasy Doctor,
I'm surprised you've never heard of Marion Zimmer Bradely before! I was under the impression that she was quite famous. She wrote many sci-fi novels (Darkover seires souns familiar?) but I never read any of them, since I hate s...
I still haven't come up with a list! I know it is over-obvious, almost cliche for some, but all I know is that the grand ol' boy Prof. T. is first and top of the list. At the age of about 12/13, had a profound effect on my life at the time and las...
You haven't actually been Banned from Wonderlands - I think what happened was, when you first joined, by some blip in the system, you accidentally created 3 identical Memberships - unfortunately before we realised what had happened, Nick approved one version/page and I approved another version!
When we realised what had happened, the only way we could get rid of the two extra Memberships was to ‘Ban’ them – we don’t have a facility to just delete someone.
If you have received a message saying you are Banned, it will just be an automated thing from Ning and you can happily ignore it.
Sorry for the mix-up – we do value all our Members – especially active ones such as yourself!
Okay, Fantasy Doctor, 'Tis done. You have this sole account now! No more confusion. We've just the rest of life to worry about in that respect now! :-)
