ANY LOVER OF FANTASY FICTION ? I WENT TO THE T.V THREAD AND FOUND THAT THE H.B.O ADAPTATION OF THE G.G.R MARTIN' SONG OF ICE AND FIRE SERIES: A GAME OF THRONES, IS MAKING A BIG HIT THERE. HERE ARE SOME OF MY ALL TIME BESTS. LORD OF THE RING SERIES - J.R.R TOLKIEN, WHEEL OF TIME SERIES - ROBERT JORDAN, A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE SERIES - G.G.R MARTIN, MALAZAN SERIES - STEVEN ERICKSON. IF YOU R A LOVER OF THE GENRE N HAVE OTHER SERIES YOU FEEL SHOULD BE UP THERE OR A SINGLE NOVEL, DO POST IT. |

Oh I certainly love fantasy. My favorite being Neil gaiman, he is the demi god of fantasy, closely followed by Terry pratchet. I love j.r Tolkien too andalways take pride j telling ppl how he was born south African even if he couldn't possibly have remembered as they left to uk when he was three at the death of his father. |

My fantasy book (not a novel but a play) is wole shoyinka ' Trial of Brother Jero. I so much love that book especially with the spectacles of abracadabras going on in our church 'industry' today |

There's a fantasy novel i read titled "Snowcrash" based on a completely wired world where government has been privatized but i cant remember the name of the author, has anyone read it? The book was listed as one of the top 100 novels of all time by TIME magazine. Was a very very interesting read. |
Re: Fantasy Novels by cj1080(m): 12:04pm On Aug 16, 2011 |
i've been reading books since jss 1, my best books still remain fiction and fantasies from futuristic to ancient blades and tales of magic and ale. Anne mccartty's pern series and landing series, magret weis date gate and dragons tales. David webbers starfire series(particularly, On death grounds and The Shiva Option) and honor harrington series. And lot of other british fantasy writers. My fun is the way their books let you mind wonder and u picture each scene through page trumping page. Brilliant. |
Re: Fantasy Novels by giftaino: 12:27pm On Aug 16, 2011 |
My best novel still remain "Flower in the Artic" by V.C. Andrews, very intresting |
Re: Fantasy Novels by Nobody: 12:50pm On Aug 16, 2011 |
@Giftaino: flowers in the attic isn't a fantasy novel. Although VC Andrews writes well sha. I love fantasy and have quite a collection. My best include Lord of the rings trilogy- Tolkien Hobbit -tolkien Belgariad series -David Eddings Malloreon series-David Eddings Belgarath the sorcerer -David Eddings Polgara the sorceress- David Eddings Elenium and Tamuli series -David Eddings Drenai Novels- David Gemmel Knight of the swords, Queen of the swords, etc- Michael Moorcock Warlock Series-Christopher stasheff, A blackbird in silver- Freda Warrington, and on and on and on the joy of reading, lol, also I enjoy sci-fi too! Im thinking of writing a naija fantasy novel. |
Re: Fantasy Novels by starfox(m): 12:51pm On Aug 16, 2011 |
My best fantasy book is "A Blackbird in Silver" and its sequel by Fred Warringhton. |

Re: Fantasy Novels by Teediggz: 6:24pm On Aug 16, 2011 |
For me it has to be Salman Rushdie's "The Satanic Verses". Brilliant book, a unique experience as i had never read Magical Realism before. |
Re: Fantasy Novels by bolakale30(m): 7:55am On Aug 17, 2011 |
Has anyone read George Orwell's 1984, that novel is day Bomb, its my favourite fantasy novel |
Re: Fantasy Novels by Bestofamy: 8:44pm On Aug 18, 2011 |
Crystal River is a must read. This book is very gripping from start to finish, highly imaginative and creative story writing, an excellent start to a trilogy. Check it out from the link below http://www.esromchronicles.com/ |
Re: Fantasy Novels by tpia5: 10:48pm On Aug 18, 2011 |
if anyone knows the title of a sci fi book where people travel to another planet and everything there is run the opposite way of how it's done on earth [govt, taxes, shopping, etc], please drop it here. i've been searching for this book fruitlessly for ages now- nobody seems to have heard of it. |

Re: Fantasy Novels by Bawss1(m): 2:32pm On Aug 19, 2011 |
giftaino: How is that a fantasy novel. Read some of her other works and you'll come to the conclusion I did that V.C Andrews was just obsessed with inc[i]e[/i]st. |
Re: Fantasy Novels by Bawss1(m): 2:39pm On Aug 19, 2011 |
