Hey Eowyn. Just saw your thread. I can't answer your question directly, but somehow it is related to the thread and therefore I'll start:
I don't like any other fantasy books (or movies).

Shannara is probably my favorite besides LOTR.
Have you read Song in the Silence and The Lesser Kindred by Elizabeth Kerner. They are about dragons and I loved them.

This really belongs in the Fantasy and Sci-Fi Forum, I expect.
Next to Tolkien, my favorite is Edding's Belgariad and Malloreon.

Next to Tolkien, I'd say Brian Jacques.

I tried one of David Eddings's once and didn't finish reading it, and didn't like it much. That doesn't make very much sense though, because I do really like Terry Brooks and most of the other authors people that like Eddings applaud. So maybe I'll give one of his books a try again.
The ones I really like are The Wheel of Time . If you haven't read them, Gwaimir, you should read the first to find out if you are interested. Because luckily for you, if you do like them, there's a lot of them to read. The first one is called "Eye of the World." |

I started to read them; read the first, part of the second, then it was banned by the parents (cos of "channeling"); I'm sure mom wouldn't mind now, but I just don't get into it.

I like most fantasy. I have read the Shadow War trilogy (Written by George Lucas and Chris Claremont), the Dark Elf trilogy (Written by R.A. Salvatore), and the Everworld series(Written by K.A. Applegate) which are short but cool. Oh, and Harry Potter More of a kids book, but I enjoy it.

His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman:
The Golden Compass The Subtle Knife The Amber Spyglass The Dark Is Rising Sequence by Susan Cooper: Over Sea, Under Stone The Dark Is Rising Greenwitch The Grey King Silver on the Tree My favorite Arthurian book is The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. Great book, but very long (876 pages). Right now, I'm reading an animal-fantasy book called The Sight by David Clement-Davies. It's very interesting and well written.

Yeah, they're great books. I skimmed through a lot of Silver on the Tree. Some of it's kinda boring.
