Answer 3

Yesterday I created an amazon.com list of urban fantasies that I recommend. If you're interested the link is below. There is a mixture of fantasy/sci-fi, young adult and romance novels but they all focus on urban fantasy. Some of the books I've also done reviews on that you can take a look at.

In addition to the ones on the list I would also suggest Tinker and Wolf Who Rules by Wen Spencer and the Apprentice Adept series (starting with Split Infinity) by Piers Anthony. These books are all fantasy/sci-fi combos.

Answer 4

Mona Lisa Overdrive by William Gibson - the master of cyber punk sci-fi!

Answer 5

The picture of Dorian Gray, Rebecca, Dante's Divine Comedy is fabulous!

Answer 6

Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card. They are both excellent sci-fi reads.

I love fantasy, but hate sci-fi, and so far those two books are the only sci-fi books I have read and liked.

Answer 7

I LOVE THE LORD OF THE RINGS AND ALSO ERAGON, ELDEST, A TALE OF TWO CITIES.
I love eldest the best.
I hope those were of some help and you hadn't read them before.

Answer 8

Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan

Answer 9

Madeleine L'Engel's A Wrinkle in Time series.

Answer 10

Have you read books by Charles de Lint??? They're mainly based on characters that live normal lives who then discover the fantasy world that exists within the "real" world. i.e. there's these crow girls that look like crows but they can transform into children but they've lived too long to tell.

Answer 11

You should try the Firebird Trilogy by Kathy Tyers.
