<<There’s so much dreck on the fantasy shelves these days that it’s hard to sift through it all and find something good>>

Yeah, no kidding! *coughAnneMcCaffreycough* That's been my biggest problem with fantasy; I love it but there really is a lot of-pardon-crap out there. You can't even go to the book store and pick up something just out of curiosity's sake; you never know what you might be reading.

That's why I like Tolkien so much and Lewis: nothing questionable by my standards.

Steven Lawhead rules! I forgot about him! I've only read one of his books but it was awesome! Hey, bryniana, you might want to give Frank Peretti a try. He's more of a Christian horro/fantasy writer, but once you get into his books, they're really good!
