Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kevin Wilson" data-source="post: 372426" data-attributes="member: 3973">Hmm, let me throw a few in there:Philip Pullman - His Dark Materials series (This one's hard to describe, but great fun. It starts with The Golden Compass.)The Wild Card series, edited by George R. R. Martin (quasi-realistic superheroes, and great fun, at least early on.)Charles de Lint - Jack of Kinrowan, Dreams Underfoot (modern fantasy extraordinaire, and one of my favorite writers.)George R. R. Martin again, this time for Songs of Fire and Ice (aka Game of Thrones. Highly entertaining political backstabbing sort of fantasy.)Books of Magic comics - Especially the early issues. Some interesting modern fantasy again.CONAN - Conan is one of the three best things in life, period.Peter Beagle - One of my favorite authors. He really gets the whole 'feeling of wonder' thing. I recommend the Last Unicorn as a good starting place.Tim Powers - Strange Tides. Swashbuckling, voodoo, many good things.Alan Dean Foster's Catechist series - Lots of cool fairy tale stories wrapped up in a frame story about an 'african' villager questing to fulfill a dying man's last wish. Man, this rocked.David Weber - The Honor Harrington series. Mmm, military sci-fi with interesting tech and tactics.That's all I can think of offhand, so I'll cut it off there.</blockquote>
