Your enthusiasm for Fantasy books makes me want to pick up a copy, and actually finish those books my grandma gave me two years ago. I read political fiction books.

By the way, this is my first time at your blog. It really makes me miss Guam.

It’s interesting how recommendations can make for a more literate world. I first got into the fantasy genre when trench introduced me to the Narnia series back in the elementary school days. I’ve since introduced him to WOT and a song of fire and ice. George RR Martin is at the top of the totem pole in my opinion. I haven`t read anything from David Eddings or Tad Williams, but it is hard to believe anything quite approaches Martin`s brilliance.

Addendum! The very first sentence from the bookshop review: “First volume of a brilliant new fantasy trilogy: the most powerful, original and absorbing new epic since Stephen Donaldson’s Chronicles of Thomas Covenant.”
Needless to say S.R. Donaldson’s Chronicles are among above mentioned 200+ books.

OK I’m sold! I meant to start reading GRR Martin a long time ago! I must finish Narnia first though, for the first time, too! Almost done with the first one.

“for mature audience”. now we’re talking!
I must have about 200+ fantasy novels stowed away in the attic, moorecock, van lustbader, A.A. Burt, A. Piers, W. Gibson, R. Heinlein and all them you know… but not one G.R.R. Martin. This has to change!
