These next two don't need to be spoken for- If you need to be convinced of their merit to society... Well, Harry Potter Has none, and Lord of the Rings is the original version of that style fantasy that's newer than pure myth. Harry Potter by J.K Rowling Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien Incarnations of Immortality, by Piers Anthony Quote: Amazing fantasy series that takes place in a version of Earth where magic and technology coexist, and in which 7 seated officers control "aspects of reality". The series begins with Zane, average guy to the detail. He's having it rough, when he finds that he could obtain a magic stone to help him find money. The cost of this stone is: He has to find the man who is selling it someone to love. Instead, he's been duped- the stone is nigh useless, and he gave away a woman who is quite compatible with anyone. At his wits end, he nearly kills himself, when he's interrupted... By Death himself. Did I sell that well enough? I won't try so hard with the next few. Bio of a Space Tyrant by Piers Anthony (Yes, also by Piers Anthony.) From the related Wikipedia article Bio of a Space Tyrant series is a six-book science-fiction series by Piers Anthony based within the solar system. The series revolves around the character Hope Hubris and his family and charts Hope's ascent from poor Hispanic refugee to Tyrant of Jupiter, a single person heading the Executive, Judicial and Legislative branches of the government. It is considerably more adult-themed than many of Anthony's earlier works. After this came a lull in my reading, and a spike in my gaming... So, nothing interesting was read for a while. Or maybe I just blacked out a big period of time, and all the books went with it. Or maybe it was my Anime binge. I really don't remember. The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher http://www.jim-butcher.com/books/dresden/ The Dresden Files are Jim's first published series, telling the story of Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, Chicago's first (and only) Wizard P.I. Jim has commented in the past that he's got ideas for running the series into the lower twenties, at least — here's hoping the publisher agrees! The Science Fiction Book Club has gathered the first three books together in a hardcover collection entitled Wizard for Hire Catcher in the Rye By J. D. Salinger If the book needs an introduction, you're living under a rock. If it still needs an introduction, ask around maybe. Or you could google it. The Reacher Anthology By Lee Child The first book starts pretty much like this: paraphrase for fictional integrity Jack Reacher gets off a Greyhound bus in the city of Margrave, Georgia, because he remembers his brother mentioning that a musician named Blind Blake died there. Much to his surprise, he's arrested in a local diner for murder. The pace is fast, the quality is excellent, and the read is worth it. Tales of the Night Side By Simon R. Green Okay, originally I was hesitant to read these, for the simple fact that the main character wears a white coat. "What kinda hero can he possibly be to wear a white coat?" Eventually, I gave in. I don't regret it. I just wish the stories were longer. Main character John Taylor is witty, and entirely too human, which is another great thing about the stories. The setting is the Nightside, the gaudy, neon noir, secret heart of London, where it's always three in the morning… Where you can walk beside myths and drink with monsters. Where nothing is what it seems and everything is possible. American Gods by Neil Gaiman To steal the words from Wikipedia again: Quote: American Gods is a novel by Neil Gaiman. The novel is a blend of Americana, fantasy, and various strands of ancient and modern mythology, all centering on a mysterious and taciturn protagonist, Shadow. John Dies at the End by David Wong Quote: Yes, this book is good. ALL this effort... And something says nobody is going to reply to me. Ah well. And yes, they're all my favorites- I don't waste time finishing a book if I don't like it. Edited by Samuel, Oct 12 2008, 05:59 PM.
