[QUOTE="Zil, post: 7678788, member: 20004"] Not sure if I count. I'm not exactly a hater. I'm more of an avoider because Savatore's FR novels have always looked kind of lame. I actually do have a few I've picked up over the years for a quarter or so at yard sales, but have never been able to bring myself to read them. OFf the top of my head, my Fantasy/Science Fiction list would be something like this: [LIST] [*]R Scott Bakker - Prince of Nothing Series, Aspect-Emperor Series [*]Iaan M Banks - The Algebraist, Culture Novels [*]James P Blaylock - Elfin Ship, Disappearing Dwarf, The Last Coin, The Digging Leviathan, etc. [*]Alan Campbell - Scar Night, Iron Angel, God of Clocks [*]Glen Cook - Black Company Series, Dread Empire Series, Garret Series, Instrumentalities of the Night [*]Peter Hamilton - Night's Dawn Trilogy, Void Trilogy, Pandora's Star, Judas Unchained [*]Frank Herbert - Dune et al [*]HP Lovecraft - At the Mountains of Madness, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, The Color Out of Space, The Shadow over Innsmouth, etc. [*]George RR Martin - Song of Fire and Ice [*]Mervyn Peake - Gormenghast, Titus Alone [*]China Mieville - Perdido Street Station, The Scar, Embassytown, The City and the City [*]Liane Merciel - Nightglass, Nightblade (these are the only two RPG novels on my list) [*]Alistair Reynolds - Revelation Space Novels [*]Michael Scott Rohan - The Anvil of Ice, The Forge in the Forest, The Hammer of the Sun [*]Michael Shea - Nifft the Lean, In Yana, the Touch of Undying [*]Brian Ruckley -Winterbirth et al, The Edinburgh Dead [*]JRR Tolkein - Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Silmarilion [*]Jack Vance - Dying Earth Series, Lyonesse Series [*]Vernor Vinge - A Fire Upon the Deep, A Deepness in the Sky, The Children of the Sky, Rainbows End [*]Tad Williams - Memory, Sorrow and Thorn, etc. [*]Roger Zelazny - Amber Series, Jack of Shadows, The Changing Land [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
