What to read next?

Some of the best fantasy novels in my eyes are the Elves series by Bernard Hennen. I read the first one twice even. I think it's the only book I ever read twice. Yes, it's that good. ;)

As for horror/thriller - I recommend having a look at Dean Koontz' books. I read some, but can't recall any names right now, sorry. EDIT: Velocity is a good Koontz book.

You will probably have read Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, but let's leave it here for future generations.. Lots of magick(!) lots of humor..

First law series
Silo series
This is my last two fantasy series i read.

While I never finished it (I'm terrible), I had The Deed of Paksenarrion (Elizabeth Moon) recommended to me and even a copy sent to me from the US. What I did read was enjoyable.

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, but you probably already read those :).

The Dark Tower series is excellent if you haven't already read it, kinda Western Fantasy Horror (please ignore the film though)

The Great Gatsby. Fantasy (Gatsby's) and sci-fi (in that it was well ahead of its time). Just kidding, it's a good book tho.
I'd like some fantasy recommendations, please.

I read them years ago, but my favourite fantasy series was always : The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant

You can try Knaak's Legend of the Dragonrealm series. It's high fantasy.

Bump.

You said you love Lotr, so have you read all of Tolkien's other works? Farmer Giles of Ham is a charming, silly medieval tale that's often overlooked since it's not related to Middle Earth.

Have you read works by Stephen King? Or are they outside your genre of books?

Are you interested in Sci-Fi as well?

Red Rising trilogy

I strongly recommend Brandon Sanderson, especially the Mistborn series

You try web novels ?

example:

The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell, the autor is famous for another book- Cloud Atlas.
Earlier this year I've read Neuromancer and to be honest I didn't liked it. It was so obscure and hard to imagine the world + I bare knew what the f*ck is going on. Maybe the problem was with me and my english.

Jack Vance -Demon Princes
Jack Vance - Tshai the adventure planet
D+L Eddings -The Ellenium series
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Discworld series
Clive Barker -Imajica
Clive Barker - Weave world

and the best for last
Tad Wlliams - Tailchasers song. A delightful story about a young cat going on a grand adventure to rescue his girlfriend when she disappears

eragon series by christopher paolini
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eragon

The Malazan book of the fallen series by Steven Erikson. Epic fantasy is epic.

thanks a lot for GA!

Hi Mallorn, did you already read books from Glen Cook or Paul Kearney ?
Less unforgettable, but still good to read: James Clemens ("The Banned and the Banished" saga), Fiona McIntosh ("The Quickening" trilogy), David and Leigh Eddings ("The Belgariad" and "The Malloreon"), Stephen R. Donaldson ("The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" - I didn't enjoy very much "The Second Chronicles" and never read "The Last Chronicles", but the first serie is worth reading IMHO)
And a really great horror story by the wonderful SF writer Dan Simmons: "Carrion Comfort". "The Terror" is also a good one...

25 years reading fantasy I'm sure you've quite emptied the pot but how about the Kane books by Karl Edward Wagner?

Also, instead of fantasy, why not some magical realism?

• 100 Years of Solitude by Marquez
• Where the Bird Sings Best by Jodorowsky

Have you read this one? La guerra de los cielos it's in spanish, don't know if it has an english version. Not many books get my attention, but this one did.
Plus, don't know what to read.
Oh, also read Mistborn series.

"The Saga of Recluce" from "L. E. Modesitt Jr."

I liked...

1. how the actual Magic is originated from Sci Fi Science.
2. That you get different Perspectives (over the course of the Saga) which makes the evil guys the good ones and vice versa, just like it is in life it all depends on how you look at things.
