Decent Fantasy Novel.

[c0ncept]

Oh shit. Read The Dark Tower series by Steven King. Its amazing, it manages to link together and explain every book he has ever written in a really cool way. Also Black House by Stephen King and Peter Straub, its sort of a sequel to The Talisman books that were mentioned earlier.

Hasn't anyone even remembered about Frank Herbert's (and his son's as well) Dune books?????? That's also amazing stuff

​

But it's not fantasy...

If we're going to talk about sci-fi authors I could name SO many.... h34r:

Yeah it's not Fantasy as we know it, but it's not 100% sci fi either... Just coz it has planets and a few spaceships doesn't make it sci fi i guess Most of the story is within the planet arrakis and the people on it

Well... for me it's simple: future=sci-fi, past=fantasy. Dune is definitely sci-fi in my book (to be honest, I didn't like it so much... it's a little too cynical and depressing and the main character doesn't make a good protagonist IMO). I'd much rather read something by Isaac Asimov (he wrote the Robot & Foundation series).
