The Illiad and The Odyssey aren't fantasy.
They're classics. :D
And a mythology isn't fantasy either, it's a religion that no longer has widespread practice.

prolly the best damn book writer in the world. i love his books.
mainly the chronicals of pyrdain series.
Clive Barker (Fantasy & Horror)
Neil Gaiman (Neverwhere, Stardust...)
Both are excellent writers.
What was that CB book that had the first nuclear testing area in it? I can't remember the title but it had a disturbing scene with a woman and a dog in it.Quote:
Clive Barker (Fantasy & Horror)
Ive not read all of cb's books, that one does'nt ring any bell's. It does remind me of "Gerald's Game" by Stephen King though. Thats the only SK book I never finished, the scene with the woman tied-up on bed and a dog coming in to the room, guess I'll never know what happened in that one (by choice) just not my kind of reading.Quote:

Google to the rescue: The book was The Great and Secret Show. One of my faves of Clive Barker's.
Ha, and I,ve read that one too. Kind of similar to SK's the stand. A good read, I thought. Still don't remember the scene you mention. I might reread that one sometime. I think I,ve got in hardback, in storage.Quote:

Withcheese,
I really can't brag on Neil Gaiman enough, "Neverwhere" is fantasy at it's finest.
Tolkein
Stephen Donaldson
Raymond Feist
Janny Wurts
I really enjoyed Stephen Donaldsons White Gold Weilder series comparable to TLOTR but for modern day
Raymond Feists Rift war saga is excellent to.
Michael moorcocks books are a dam good read to as a lot of them all tie in together even when they have different heroes in,and we musn't forget Gemmel :)
does comic count cuz spawn is 1 hot story allof them
so is ALL of marvel but i also liked stellars science fiction#4 that1 good book
so is avalon and all stephan king books sum older 1 at lease
Nice to see someone else enjoys Stephen Donaldson...I would go as far to say that Donaldson is better than Tolkien. I just feel I can believe in his characters more than Tolkiens 2-D non-entities, plus with Donaldson you get a much darker novel.Quote:
