Re: Good, Deep, Fantasy/Sci-Fi Series (for Older Readers)
i'm really surprised no one has mentioned The Illuminatus Trilogy. i guess it's a little marginal as sci-fi (is there a special category for conpsiracy theory fiction?), but it is both highly entertaining and mind-expanding, as any good sci-fi work should be.
<font color="white">fnord</font> i grew up reading Stephen King so i may not be the most objective critic, but The Dark Tower is, on the whole, quite terrific. he wrote most of the first book (_the gunslinger)_ in college, so it is quite a bit different from the style he would develop during his early career. this may explain why many posters here don't seem to like it as much. i agree that the ending is kinda meh. books 2-4 (_drawing of the three_, _waste lands_, and _wizard and glass_), however, are particularly awesome. |

Re: Good, Deep, Fantasy/Sci-Fi Series (for Older Readers)
Why are people surprised when they're the first to mention something. It's not like we can read every single book out there.
Still, [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] this thread. So many interesting suggestions to choose from. Thanks guys. |
