there are dozens
u better start with Dragonlance in my opinion ;)
That are epic in scope? A Song of Fire and Ice by George R.R. Martin.
:ninja:
thanks for that
David Eddings-
Start with Pawn of Prophecy. Then theres nine of those that follow (worth it) and if your still enthused after that, there Polgara the Sorceress- and Belgarath the sorceror, and the Rivan Codex :) I'm assuming, by lord of the rings, you mean fantasy epics- the unwilling young thing who's forced by fate into a role he doesn't want to have, on a long and difficult journey with a sorceror with a long white beard in robes (I kid you not, theres serious similarities. In this lot though, its not a ring, its the Orb, a rock with magical powers)
have fun :)
The Talisman by Stephen King is one of the best cont. Fantasy's I've ever read.
I've read The Chronicles of Thomas Covennant the Unbeliever 2 trilogies in all twice now and I think they are fantastic. Stephen R. Donalson wrote them definitely worth a read. Also The Dragonriders Of Pern Trilogy by Anne McCaffrey was quite good. I agree that the Tailisman is good but I also think that his Gunslinger/ Dark Tower books are the best books Stephen King has written. You may also want to try Piers Anthony start with A Spell for Chameleon and go from there. :D
The books from Feist are really good. I actually like them better than LOTR.
Ask Rat Faced for more info about them, he has them all :)
Does he have the new ones (King of Foxes, for example)? They aren't being sold where I'm at, currently. :(
:ninja:
Given the nature of your request, you really cannot go past Silmarillion. Whihc is actually a book by Tolkien detailing the mythology of the LoTR world, that is it's history, religion, source of magic etc
Personally I find Silmarillion better than LoTR.
