Yeah the Harry Potter series was awesome. my wife finally got me to start reading them and I blazed through them in a few weeks. You might wanna check out the giver series by lois lowry, or if your in the mood for something more serious read mere christianity also by C.S. Lewis.
What? you would not read the harry potter series, that makes you a Christian fundamentalist. I'm sorry but come on, there fictional books, sources of entertainment, you shouldn't take them as anything more than that. you are a christian and if your concerned that a innocent series of books that in no way is gonna change your mind about the god you believe in, is evil and projects satanic beliefs than you obviously don't have the faith you thought you had. I am a ordinary church going christian, I study the bible on a daily basis, but I will not accept
fundamentalist ideas which suggest that if I celabrate halloween or watch silly shows on tv with witches that I will go to hell. please do not get to upset it's just my personal opinion, and this is just a silly internet sight on which we can use to project our own opinion.

I think you should try Converting Kate. It is an amazing author. Below are a few books/authors that, being a fantasy geek, I recommend.
1)Tolkien, anything by Tolkien.
2)Christopher Paolini's Eragon and Eldest. He finished writing Eragon when he was only 16 but it is amazing!!!
3)Phillip Pullman.They are making a movie about these and they probably will mess it up but the books are great anyway.
4) The Count of Monte Cristo. Okay, not a fantasy but still one of my all time favorites.
5)The Mysterious Benedict Society, A different brand of fantasy, definetly in my top three.
6) Terry Pratchett!!!! His books are truly hilarious!
7)The Dark Lord of Derkholm, by Dianne Winne Jones. Strangely enough there isn't really a dark lord in this book. Very funny.
8)T.A. Barron, starting with The Lost Years of Merlin
9) K.M. Grant is great if you love horses. She has a trilogy out, Blood Red horse, Green Jasper, and Blaze of Silver. I have al her books, and they're autographed!
10)Beastly, a remade fairtale of Beauty and the Beast, from the guy's point of veiw and in modern times.

Check out Terry Pratchett. He writes satiric fantasy. He does touch on religion in some of his books, but he treats it gently.
