I really enjoyed the Incarnation of Immortality series, which includes On a Pale Horse. I collected all of the books in high school. I also really enjoyed Mary Stewart's 'trilogy' on the early development and life as he progresses through the Arthurian legend. I think the first book is The Crystal Cave followed by the Hollow Hills.marvelmite wrote:Big fan of Piers Anthony-On a Pale Horse (havent read the rest of the series, does anyone suggest it? Does it hold up past the first?)
Kurt Vonnegut-Sirens of Titan and Slaughter-house Five
(all of the above just take sci-fi in bizzare directions)
a little more traditional sci-fi id suggest is Dune. I know, kinda cliched but i found it to be amazing.
also suggest alternative future/post appocalypse books like The Road by cormac mccarthy, 1984 by george orwell, Farenheit 451 by ray bradburry, Brave New World by aldous huxley, and Lord of the Flies by william golding to look at the failures and strengths of human nature
On the Sci Fi side, Larry Niven's Known Space series and David Brin's Uplift series are awesome!

Oops! The Mary Stewart books are about Merlin. That part seemed to get skipped
The Xanth novels by Piers Anthony are also good for younger fantasy readers. There is a lot of cute wordplay in these books.

They follow a character named Cabe. He is suddenly thrown into this world of magic, creatures, and people who want him died. He has no idea why, but through his journey of discovering the truth, he finds way more then he ever thought possible.
Richard A Knaak also wrote for Blizzard's Diablo, and quite a few of the World Of Warcraft books. If you love this Genre then i believe you will love The Dragonrealm volumes. They are great !!!
