My favorite Sci-Fi books are the Liaden novels by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller. My favorite Fantasy books are the Valdemar novels by Mercedes Lackey.

Let's see...
Anything writen by Peter David, the Myth Adventures (16 to date) series by Robert Aspirin, the Mars (John Carter) and Venus (Carson) series by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the Shannara books by Terry Brooks is pretty good, although I personally prefer the Magic Kingdom of Landover series and I wish Brooks would write some more of those.
But after the Myth Adventures series is three I read by Mel Gilden featuring an outer space alien named Zoot Marlowe who came to Earth and wanted to be a Private Investigator. The trilogy consists of Hawaiian UFO Aliens, Samauri Surfing Robots, and Tubular Android Super Heroes and are both entertaining and hiliarious. Unforunately the rights are in a legal tangle so the series can't continue right now.
Happy Reading.

Hi there. I'm the author of a new medieval fantasy book that you might like. The title is THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY. It's 445 pages of action, adventure, magic, mystery and mayhem. If you like Conan, LOTR or Harry Potter type books, this is one you'll enjoy.
Good luck, whatever you decide to read!

THE REGENTS OF RHUM (coming fall '07)
Major Media Reviews:
Publishers Weekly
STARRED Review. A fast pace, sly humor, amusing dialogue and a richly researched background lift Baxley's fantasy, the first of a new series set in medieval Britain. When Merlin's long-ago apprentice Kruzurk Makshare (aka the Boozer) receives a dreamlike visitation from the legendary mage, he learns he must destroy another former apprentice, the villainous Seed of Cerberus. To do so will require a visit to the demon-guarded Blackgloom Keep. Enter young Daynin McKinnon, who discovers a curious rune-covered headstone, which may be the fabled Blackgloom Bounty, and brings it to Kruz's attention. Kruz believes it will provide entry into the fortress, while Daynin hopes the sale of the stone will restore his family's fortunes. The colorful cast of good guys and ne'er-do-wells includes the Pictish ghost of Brude McAlpin liberated from his tomb, assorted pursuing Caledonians and a bemused Prior Bede, whose monastery serves as a hiding place for the Blackgloom Bounty. Suitable for fantasy enthusiasts of all ages.

"The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" and "Friday" by technique of Robert Heinlein are both tremendous. "Friday" is amazingly on the point of in the present day's technologies, basically the political circumstances are literally not the following yet. Friday is a lady who works as a secret courier, hiding files in a cybernetic pouch positioned in her abdomen. diverse the sci-fi stuff pronounced are area stations proper to the Earth by technique of elevators and passenger jets flying in parabolic arcs. "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" is slightly more effective futuristic; notwithstanding it did assume diverse the computing device technologies we've in the present day. The moon has grow to be a penal colony and grows food for an over populated Earth. Being a authorities operation, the computing device became basically further to and further to till it grew to grow to be self conscious. the purely individual who's widely used with this secret's Manny, the computing device repairman. regrettably, the computing device's confident that riot hostile to the authorities is totally thanks to keep both the moon and Earth. Heinlein wrote the tale back contained in the mid 60's and to be worry-free many of the AI stuff became extremely available till about 10 years in the past. For sensible delusion, attempt Jenny Nimmo's Charlie Bone sequence (commence with "hour of darkness For Charlie Bone"), or invoice Pullman's His darkish resources sequence ("The Golden Compass").

D&D books anytime baby! The best fantasy books ever. (ever ever ever) I mean those by Margaret Weis & Tracy HIckman. Haven't read any other author's works from Dragonlance yet but them.
