I'm a big fantasy dork, and have read the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Harry Potter Books, and was recently turned on to, and read Eragon and Eldest, two of a trilogy by christopher paolini. Does anyone have any suggestions of a good read? Thanks, miles

You would probably enjoy the Gormenghast trilogy, by Mervyn Peake. If you Google it, you'll find loads of reviews to see if it's up your street.

All the best, Linda

Oh, almost forgot - how about Philip Pullman's trilogy, His Dark Materials? The three books are called Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass. They blew me away!

There's always good ole Terry Brooks? Shannara series, Jerle Shannara etc

Robert Jordan's Wheel of time is great (my current read), there's 11 in the series... so far!

Anne McCaffrey Pern series

Happy hunting!
Moomin

S.M. Stirling, "Island in the Sea of Time" and its two sequels. I found them fascinating!

Look up the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik. She is a really new writer and she is releasing the fourth book of the series in September so you don't have a huge backlog of work to read to catch up to her.

That's a new one to me. I'll add it to my to-be-read list. Of course as far behind as I am, I may be 121 before I get to it!

She won't disappoint you Charles. The first one is called His Majesty's Dragon, the second is Throne of Jade, and the third is Black Powder War.

I agree completely - fantastic books

Fantastic series by George R.R. Martin called A Song of Ice and Fire. Also, any book by Robin Hobb (though her newest series isn't quite as good as the others) will not disappoint. The EarthSea series by LeGuin. There are many others.

Yeah, I like Temeraire series by Naomi Novik too, and Eden's Atlantis by Dawn Bergemann. Check them out!
