I get creeped out too easy to read those. hehehe My favs are Sci/Fi Fantasy. Someone once said to me that I shouldn't read those because it meant that I was a flake. They seemed to feel that I should read Non-fiction to be a well rounded person. My only response was that I live in the real world, I don't need to read about it! Sci/Fi Fantasy gives me a chance to escape for a bit, and sometimes I really need that.

Im with you jadedsage. If it is scifi or fantasy related i am there buddy. But a series that ive read many times that i absolutely love is by Diana Gabaldon. Its about a woman who time travels back to Scotland during the Civil war there in 1745. There are four books in the serious so far and they are really long which i love. its some of the best writing ive ever come across. And of course i love harry potter.

My daughter loves all things Potter. We do have fun with it. One of my favorite authors is Mercedes Lackey. Her Valdemar series has got to be about 15 books long. Great fun. Though Katherine Kurtz is fantastic too

i love them all. I drive my hubby crazy cause i have book all over the house. he cant figure it out, he built me a ton of book shelves on the floor and on the walls and books are still overflowing mydesk, behind my recliner, on my art desk, in my bedroom. Of course half of them are homeschool books but the rest are craft related or celtic related or you guessed it scifi and fantasy. I clean out a few here and there an dhe thinks im doing him a favor, hehe (i save books i dont like just for that) I know, im bad, but what he doesnt know , in this case anyway, wont hurt him.

of course i luv harry potter and lord of the rings, but most people kno bout them. i also recommend the hitchhiker's guide 2 the galaxy. but if u haven't read the artemis fowl trilogy, definately do so! artemis fowl is a 12 year old child genious who uses his intelligence 2 become a criminal mastermind and devises a plan 2 kidnap a fairy 4 ransom which live under the earth thinking they r unknown 2 all humans but didn't realize that they'd have some1 like artemis 2 figure it out. besides being very unique, they r hysterical! perhaps some of the driest books i've ever read!

ive been meaning to read artemis fowl for awhile now hmm i shall hurry now mine has to be the chariot of the gods by van danniken although he is lambastd by nearly all of the holy archeaological societies not all of it is phoohey ,anyhows i chose this because when i read it many years ago it lead me to think that, what we think we know might not be all that it is and what we are taught is always worth questioning moreso we only know the tip of the iceberg in a vast sea of them have you read salman rushdies 'haroun and the sea of stories ?a childrens book ,its magical
