Any of you fans of the SciFi/Fantasy genre?

That's all I usually read on fiction books, though the few normal books I've read are usually pretty good.

Let's here some favorites, if any of the genre.

My favorite Sci Fi author of all time has to be Neil Gaiman. His two books Neverwhere and American Gods are possibly my favorites of all time.

Other good SciFi books I've read were 'The I Inside', 'Infinity Beach', and 'Archangel' (Which is strangly SciFi, Fantasy and Romance all rolled into one...)

I could go on, but my all time favorite book is a tie between Neverwhere and American Gods.

Magus

Favourite sci-fi authors:

Asimov
Dick
Disch

The two greatest sci-fi authors are Asimov and Herbert. Foundation and Dune are the two greatest sci-fi serieses.

i'd say, that for fantasy novels, the series called "the magic of xanth" (it's pronounced zanth) by Piers Anthony is quite funny. you'd be surprised at how many nude, fighting, contemplating and "blonde moment" scenes there are in the series.
anywho, that's my 2-cents worth

Shadow Knight

P.S. that's CANADIAN cents!

Fantasy would be Feist's Riftwar Saga, and Feist's works in general. I think mostly because I was young when I read them, and I really enjoyed them, and it transferred over.

Scif-fi is the Otherland series. I've only read the first book (City of Golden Shadow) and am in the process of the second (River of Blue Flame). There are four in the series I believe, and so far I love them.

Tad Williams is the author, I believe...

I used to be a huge Fantasy reader

I always enjoyed
L.O.R. - Tolkien nuff said
Wheel of Time - Jordan rocks
The Riftwar Saga - it was stupendous to say the least
The Dragonlance stuff - weiss and hickman knew how to write some good stuff
The Thomas Covenant stuff by stephen donaldson etc etc
oh and ray bradbury - farenheit 451 one of my fav books ever

Anything of Bradbury.

I'd have to agree with Gaiman being a great fantasy author. He blends realism and fantasy very well.

Terry Pratchett is good as well. Thief of Time is a good book of his (as well as Good Omens, which he worked on with Neil Gaiman).

I read the Year's Best Fantasy and Horror collections a lot now. They have a lot of good stories by many good authors.

I'd have to give a second vote to Tad Williams Otherland. I read the series a while ago, it's probably one of the best series I've read in any genre.

Anvil of Stars: by Greg Bear

My favorite fantasy is Mercedes Lacky with the "Valdemar" series. Pires Anthony is good also, I have the entire Xanth collection.
I mainly write, live and read fantasy. Not much into SciFi but "Archangel" is a good book.So is Jovah's Angel the next book.

If you've never read Harry Turtledove's Worldwar series, or "Guns of the South," my heart bleeds for you.

Battletech,LOR,Star Trek/Wars,Dune
and many others.

The Dune series by Frank Herbert for sci-fi, and probably Terry Pratchett/Tolkien for fantasy.
