in spite of if it sounds infantile, the Harry Potter sequence truly is SPECTACUALR! additionally, you would be able to like Fahrenheit 451 with the help of Ray Bradbury. i in my view enjoyed the two. have you ever tried the starvation video games sequence? The books are fairly relaxing and strangely addicting. although, they're greater aimed to young toddlers... yet another truly recommendations-blowing sequence of Fantisy Sci Fi is the Bartimaeus Trilogy. The books are long, yet genuinely recommendations-blowing! wish this facilitates, i understand i continually have the comparable subject as you

Hi there. I'm the author of a new medieval fantasy series that you might like. The title of the first episode is THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY. It's 445 pages of action, adventure, magic, mystery and mayhem. If you are a fan of Conan, LOTR or Harry Potter books, this is one you'll enjoy. A Hollywood producer said it was, "Like Braveheart meets Lord of the Rings." (See other comments & reviews below.)
Good luck, whatever you decide to read!

THE SCYTHIAN STONE (eBook only)
THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY (eBook and hard cover)
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 Devil You Know and Vicious Circle by Mike Carey are great.
Also try Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman for a lighter side to SciFi/Fantasy ;)
