Hello, as u might see to my post amount, I'm pretty new here...
Hello! :D

And could u please (asking friendly always helps :D) help me to find a new serie of fantasy books which I could devour in my endless need of fantasy books.... :)

To give you a bit information about my taste of books, I loved the serie "Recluce" by LE Modesitt Jr, the serie "Hyperion/Endymion" by Dan Simmons and the serie "Amber" by Roger Zelazny.

I hope you can help :)

The list is endless. Are you looking for series only?

Here's a short list (series only):

Tolkien - Lord of the rings
Zelazny - Changeling/Madwand
Saberhagen - Swords
Feist - Rift War
Martin - Ice and Fire

For a long list read all the threads below and/or checkout this web site -

Hrm well "The Wheel of Time" by Robert Jordan should keep you pretty well fed as it's nice and fat! :D

Steven Erikson's "A Tale of the Malazan: Book of the Fallen" series is also delicious. First book is "Gardens of the Moon".

Anytink by David Gemmell is gud!

Hmm, guess I wasn't too specified about what I read :D

Lord of the Rings is without a doubt that everybody should have read - so have I ;)

And I tried Wheel of Time a while ago (like three quarters of a year ago) and alas I hadn't enough time (size does matter :D)

What's the story behind that serie of Zelasny?

Are there also any good (preferrably ;)) "fantasy/sf mixed" books people can recommend?

"What's the story behind that serie of Zelasny? "
Do you mean the Madwand series?


Mixed fantasy/SF:
Zelazny did it a lot.
Dune.
Saberhagen - Empire of the East

Thnx for the books, I already tried Otherland a year ago but i got stuck in the second book. Might try it again...

I'll surely try a lot of the rest of the books...

But ehm, isn't Dune from Frank Herbert? Read that serie also :)
