Favorite Fantasy books and writers?
#3
RE: Favorite Fantasy books and writers?
KA Applegate for Animorphs. It was a very entertaining book series for teens that kind of pushed the boundaries a bit. It slowly fell apart over time, unfortunately, culminating in an unsatisfactory end, but was still a fun read.

JRR Tolkien for Lord of the Rings. Pretty much codified the high fantasy genre, although I think high fantasy usually had a lot of magic, where LOTR doesn't. Only a few characters are really capable of spells. still a very nice read. One of the classics.

Song of Ice and Fire from George RR Martin. He makes an interesting story with a fleshed out world and characters, and tries to make it all fit together. It's a series where anyone can die, so it doesn't really have protagonists. it has POV characters. I stopped reading after a five year gap, but I still like the story.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
