sci-fi fantasy

yeah, so this part of the forum looked all lonesome so lets give it some love.

i was wondering, whats your favourite sci-fi or fantasy book/book series/author.

mines either terry pratchet's discworld, or starwars extended universe

Discworld.

Terry Pratchett is my idol.


ALSO, I rather enjoy Diana Wynne Jones' books too, like Howl's Moving Castle.

Brian Jacques has an awesome fantasy series as well.

wow, 4 people have been bothered enough to vote but not bothered enough to post-.-

Fantasy all the way. Thats not to say I don't enjoy sci-fi but fantasy is just more fun.

Favourite authors at the moment would be:
-Peter Brett
-Jim Butcher

And some other ones but I cant remember. I tend to just find one good author and then follow their books till I find osmeone new...as I'm sure a lot of people do.

OH! And H.P. Lovecraft! Cthulhu is love

And sci fi can have a horror sub genre yeah yeah?

Oh yes. That makes it epic. Horror books are pretty good too....if they're written well, some of them really blow

Hehe apocalypse settings are pretty good

i like the books that keep you thinking all the way through, and constantly surprise you with twists and stuff. those are the best types.

oh thats what he did.... i saw the name somewhere and i'm like, thats familiar, what did he write again..

A good book to me consists of originality, an addictive writing style, and well thought out characters. Nothing irritates me more than when characters act out of character without adequate explanation.

i like books with interesting plot lines. I hate having to read stories that are predictable and clichéd.

cough twilight cough ^

I don't have a preference between fantasy or science fiction, because I agree with Pizza - it depends on how well-written the book is, so both can either be amazing epics or so horrible they're not worth the paper they're printed on.
