Hmmmm...I could be very mistaken, but, perhaps, it is Lord of the Rings?

I've always had a special place in my heart for the "Chronicles of Narnia." John Connolly's books about detective Charlie Parker are excellent. Well written, enjoyable and engaging characters, real life mystery/drama with a veil of the supernatural and hidden things. The "Kushiel's Legacy" series by Jacqueline Carey is excellent. Fantasy world building, actual gods and their chosen, BDSM elements as part of the various cultures. I could probably go on and on about books I enjoy. Mmmm...books. :) [Ignore the sentence fragments, I've been typing all day and I'm tired.]

Lord of the rings will always hold a special place in my heart, like a first true friend, but one of my very favorites is the King Killer Chronicles by Patrick Rothfus. The first book is "The Name of the Wind" and the second, "Wise Man's Fear". I also love The Ravens Shadow trilogy by Anthony Ryan. Its pretty friggin amazing

Michael Vey is good, I’d recommend the Ranger’s Apprentice series if you haven’t already read it.

I really enjoy Terry Pratchett's earlier works in Discworld. His characters are relatable, and yet the books are so hilarious.

"Finnegans Wake", James Joyce. The first few times, it was really difficult to get through, but I was determined. As I became accustomed to it, it became easier to make sense of it. Some of it is understanding what Joyce intended, but much more is being open, to allowing the text to suggest meaning, to consciously protecting my own thoughts, feelings and interpretations onto Joyce's words. I make my own sense of it.

The Inheritance Cycle...
Eragon
Eldest
Brisingr
Inheritance
I love this series and I started reading it when my oldest sister gave it to me on my 12th Birthday... (im 12)
im not spoiling it... im just typing in what it says on the blurb (book description) on the back:
INITIAL WARNING... THIS IS VERY LONG. YOU CAN SKIP IT IF YOU WANT TO...
When Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.

Overnight his simple life is shattered, and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic, and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds.

Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands.

"The Heros of Olympus", as I am a big Greek myth nerd, and I love Percy Jackson. All of Rick Riordan's books are amazing, of course, but HoO will always be my favorite.

I like anything by Rachael Johns and The Guardians Trilogy by Nora Roberts. My favourite genre is chick lit, country romance and fantasy.

The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher. It's about "the only practicing wizard in the Chicago Yellow Pages". The opening line to one of the books ("Blood Rites") was "The building was on fire and it wasn't my fault." Just so you know, it was the fault of the purple winged monkey demons throwing incendiary poo at him. Really.

Antonia Saw The Oryx First by Maria Thomas. Maria Thomas wrote only three books, all of them set in West Africa, and her writing is utterly gorgeous.

The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher is my favorite!!! He manages to fit myth, magic, wizards, the fae and all sorts of other goodies into real life Chicago and make it all fit together really well. Exciting and very well written! The first book is a little slower passed but still really good they pick up the pse from there. He has a couple other series that are great as well if Urban fantasy is not your thing!!!

*sighs* I hate picking one but here ya go:

R.A. Salvatore's Forgotten Realm books. Buckle up buttercups because this covers a lot of stuff in the Forgotten Realms franchise and as of today he has published at least 37 books in. I think there's like 4 or 5 more. I love his writing, you get a vast verity of characters besides the main campanions to meet and love. It is Fantasy and the bulk of the books follow Drizzt Do'Urden, a drow elf and his companions on their adventures.

Be warned this gets dark. Very dark, and there are just sometimes where even the good guy gets dealt a bad hand. I love the series and have read it the majority of my life.

The Clockwork Dynasty by Daniel H. Wilson is one of my favorite books.
It has more twists and turns than a roller coaster and plenty of action scenes as well, but without losing sight of the plot. The characters are so well-written they almost feel like real people, even the ones who aren’t technically “human.” However, most of the action scenes are violent, so if that makes you uncomfortable, you can skip them.

A great lesser known book is Equal Fate by Jeska Layne, it is a fantasy book with lots of magic set in a modern (not earth) setting and has great action.
