I Just Finished Harry Potter... What Should I Read Now?
Marielle-Johnson, 2007-07-26 09:13:19
I'm not a really good reader... The only books I've enjoyed reading were Harry Potter - so much so that I was up until 5AM 2 days ago reading the last one. I also remember sitting in classes and reading during lectures, which has not happened to me with any other book. Still, I know that I should read more, instead of sitting in front of video games or the computer... Can anyone provide me with a list of really good fantasy books, preferably in a series of more than one?

- also - the chronicles of narnia would be a good choice. i would also say that you should read the wheel of time series by robert jordan.
- they are centered around older characters, so that may not appeal to you as much.

The first one is "Lust" and I think is pretty good so far, although I have to admit I'm only on page 6.Well, good luck... And if you find any good books, feel free to IM me, please...

I'd still recommend you give it a try, but realize that there's nothing wrong with not liking it. I would suggest reading The Hobbit first, not only has it not been spoilered by a movie (yet) but it is also a simpler read and sets up for LotR.If you can find Alexander Lloyd's Prydain Chronicles (it's a somewhat older series) it's a good solid read, as is Susan Cooper's Dark is Rising seriesTerry Pratchett's work is hilarious, although it is British humor which occasionally needs a bit of translation. Jump in anywhere, most of the books stand quite well on their own, particularly if you set them on edge, just slightly open. OK, I'm no Pratchett.I'd strongly recommend Mercedes Lackey: Start with Arrows of the Queen, Arrows Flight, Arrows Fall. After that, try To Take a Thief, then Exiles Honor and Exiles Valor. By that point, you should know what comes next.

Like Rowling, he doesn't bog it down with details. Instead he captivates you and keeps your interest while having those details filter into it as it goes. Of course, this was before a lot of the fantasy that has come out in the past decade. My other recommendations are already listed.I know you said that you liked fantasy, but I would also recommend Where the Red Fern Grows by Rawls. It isn't fantasy, but still a very well written book.
