It's time for some book recommendations!

That's the one with the gypsy peasant who is incredible at everything he tries? I couldn't stand it.

[Razgovory]

You can try David Eddings Belgariad.  I liked them in Junior High.

Oh and why not some of the classics in the genre like Lieber and Howard?

Sounds like Siddharta. Found that one annoying and retarded, but then I read it in high school.

Try L.E. Modesitt, Jr, he had some good books. The Corean Chronicles are interesting.

[Sophie Scholl]

Try Glen Cook, the Black Company series.  Now in convenient collected form, first volume is here.

Agree.  The Lady should be right up your alley.

[CountDeMoney]

Try something from Clive Barker.

[Grallon]

Once again, The Prince of Nothing trilogy by Scott Bakker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Nothing).  Though I think ID would enjoy it more than you dear.

For a wildcard: I'm currently loving Cornwell's Saxon books.
They're historic fiction, not fantasy, but they read just like they're from a hard fantasy setting. Really, really good stuff.

[Kleves]

I'll second the recommendation of Cornwell.

I won't second the recommendation of Bakker's books. The protagonist was another ubermensch who is fantastically skilled at every conceivable pursuit. Which is interesting, since he's basically the product of centuries of inbreeding and isolation.

[Korea]

You have read Tolkein, right?

No! And I keep meaning to!

[Korea]

Try Abercrombie. I really liked his stuff for engaging fantasy:

http://www.amazon.ca/Blade-Itself-Joe-Abercrombie/dp/0575079797/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257537818&sr=1-5

He delights in totally unlovable heroes. One of the leading characters is a bitter, crippled professional torturer - and he's the good guy. 

Oh, I actually just bought the books. I thought it was pretty good but it was hard for me to get into it. I only read the first one and part of the second one. I do keep meaning to go back and give it another try.

[Korea]

Njal's saga. This is what Tolkien was reading when got the idea for the idea of Fantasy at all.

Sounds interesting. I may give this one a go.

[Korea]

I just realized that I haven't read a fantasy book in a long time and I have no idea what to try. So, give me some recommendations. Authors I've liked include: Brandon Sanderson, Robin Hobb, George R. R. Martin, Terry Goodkind

Have you read Raymond Feist?

Yeah the first two Magician books. After that I think I remembered it got retarded?

[Korea]

Authors I've liked include:  Robin Hobb, Terry Goodkind

Go to local bookstore. Go to sci/fi fantasy section. Pick random book with elves or dragons on cover. There's a 95% chance this book is better than Goodkind. 

I know. I was a bit apprehensive about admitting I like Goodkind a lot. Even if I don't necessarily agree with his philosophy.

I just finished reading this one a few weeks ago! I absolutely loved it. I can't wait for the sequel. But this is why I hate reading a trilogy or series before it is completed.
