Oh, I just couldn't swallow Dune. Well, I didn't mind Dune itself, but I got twenty pages into the second book and my major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save my life, nearly leaped up my throat to throttle my brain.
(For you H2G2 fans.)
I recommend:
The Dragonriders of Pern series, by Anne McCaffery.
The Free Bards books by Mercedes Lackey. My favourites are the first and third, but I don't like The Robin and the Kestrel so much.
If I Pay Thee Not In Gold by Mercedes Lackey and Piers Anthony. Lackey's excellent fantasy with Anthony's Xanth humour. Kinda sudden ending though.
I realise it's not fantasy, but Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul by Douglas Adams. They do have abit of fantasy, though... some Norse myth.....
The Chronicles of Redwall by Brian Jacques. Childish, sortof, but hey, I'm nearly 19 and still enjoying them. They have the whole warrior's code down pat.
