| Books and Authors I've read and enjoyed |
| This page provides links to all of my favorite book/series and the authors who wrote them. J. R. R. Tolkien, Lord of the Rings Above and beyond all the rest. My All-Time favorite series. Tolkien brought to the forefront the fantasy genre and did it the best. Tad Williams, Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn Series Not as good as Tolkien, but very entertaining none the less. Three part series, with the final part divided into two books. George R. R. Martin, A Song of Ice and Fire Series Not as fantasy oriented as the other authors on the list, but the series itself is extremely entertaining and descriptive. Robert Jordan, The Wheel of Time Series Very enjoyable and fast paced story. The series is not yet completed (currently at 11 books I think) and has become very long winded and spread almost too thin. Terry Goodkind, Sword of Truth Series Another great fantasy series, with the latest book taking on new main characters. Not as good as the previous books, but still a good read. Jane Auel, Children of the Earth Series Not really fantasy at all, but more historical fiction about pre-historic times. Great character development and detail. Five books thus far and one more to finish the series. John Jakes, North and South Series A great historical fiction abouth two families, taking place during the Civil War. Three part series that is also accompanied with a twelve part mini-series. Jakes has also written the Kent Family Chronicles detailing the life of one family before, during, and after the Revolutionary War. Ken Follet, Pillars of the Earth Great book taking place during medieval times and focusing on the characters surrounding the building a cathedral. Very entertaining and descriptive |
