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

things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
so, he does
the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
the germans are like "wtf, h4x"

mainly the chronicals of pyrdain series.
Gaint Antispyware is the #1 greatest Spyware/Adware cleaner ever created, I recomend it to everybody, even if you don't think you need it.

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.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.Originally posted by Withcheese@17 November 2003 - 00:00

Google to the rescue: The book was The Great and Secret Show. One of my faves of Clive Barker's.

Withcheese,
I really can't brag on Neil Gaiman enough, "Neverwhere" is fantasy at it's finest.

Tolkein
Stephen Donaldson
Raymond Feist

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
All spelling mistakes and grammatical errors in my post's are intentional.

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.Originally posted by gripper103.2@2 December 2003 - 13:45
