Have your read the prior novels? The Hyperion Cantos is a all tiem classic IMHO. If so, I'd go with this however... That's an awesome book. The associate reviewer on my site who reviewed it didn't like it but I loved it. Mrs Bishop stopped by our site as well, and seems to be real nice...

Well read her:) She is most know of course for her Sci-fi (vorsogian sequence), really space opera at a high level. I loved her recent work in fantasy, Curse of Chalion, which I think is better than the quasi-sequel (not a direct sequel) Paladin of Souls which ended up winning the Hugo and...

That's the cover if anyone is interested: fantasybookspot.com

Some good chocies listed, however i want to point out again that the Malazan series by Erikson is not limited to two novels (if you order online) these are available now: Gardens of the Moon Deadhouse Gates Memories of Ice House of Chains Midnight Tides Bonehunters (forthcoming)...

The Silmarillion is a necessity, if you desire to have passable knowledge of Tolkien's Middle earth, I would recommend these title (all btw considered Canon, which many other Tolkien related novels are not) The Book of Lost Tales I The Book of Lost Tales II Unfinished Tales The Lays of...

Big fan/reader of fantasy here, and that includes some juvenile works, including works by Rowling, Nix, Pullman, Lewis, Barker, Jaques, etc, and I hated Eragon. I cannot stand gimick novels that garner acclaim even after it should have been exposed for being derivative from plot, chaarcters to...

Honestly don't read a lot pure horror but Fevre Dream is a absolute must read vampire novel, by epic fantasy master George R.R. Martin. Also Carrion Comfort by Hyperion cantos author Dan Simmons is also exceptional. fantasybookspot.com

Nice topic:) (in no particular order and strictly from literature, movies out) Sherlock Holmes - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Hercule Poirot - Agatha Christie Flagg- Steven King Tyrion Lannister - George R.R. martin (yes I think he is that monumental of a character) James Bond - Ian Flemming...

I skimmed through the previous posts, so If I mention somethign already named, my apologies:) I woudl recommend Michael Moorcock's Pyat Quartet novels, they are simply incredible, and I actualy am starting to enjoy Moorcock's fiction work more than his fantasy offerings: Byzantium Endures...

There are a couple of interesting thougths here but JRR Tolkien already puts down many of these theories, he is a intentional enigma: And even in a mythical Age there must be some enigmas, as there always are. Tom Bombadil is one (intentionally). Letter 144 JRR Tolkien Two theories will...
