I am a fan of the fantasy genre and I was wondering of any of you have suggestions on what I should read next. I am a huge fan the Hobbit, Lord of the Rings and Song of Fire and Ice series.

I really liked the "Dune" series by Frank Herbert.
"Stranger in a Strange Land"
Anything written by Ray Bradbury
I haven't been reading much fantasy books for adults as of late, but there are some very good ones for young adults and children...I try to keep track of children's literature, since I have headed discussion groups with kids and like to share my love of reading with any child who is interested.
"The Golden Compass" series was fantastic.
"Inkheart" and the next 2 in this series were enjoyable.
I read, with a preteen group, "The Dirt Eaters,' which was very good and made me want to read the next in the series.
Just a few off the top of my head...I'll look over my books and get back later....Also, as I said in another post, I'm reading Mary Shelly's, "The Last Man".....very old SciFi.
One more! "Weave World," by Clive Barker is remembered fondly...it held me spellbound.

I have been thinking about reading the Dune series but I have never gotten around to it. Everyone I know that has read says its very good. I have heard of the "Golden Compass" and "Inkheart" but nobody I know has read so I do not know if they are any good. I will have to check them out though. Thanks.

R.A Salvatore is another great author. I would say go to the local bookstore or online and do some searching there is so many good books and a lot aren't as popular as they should be

Try Terry Brooks, R.A. Salvatore, and Margret Weis/Tracy Hickman. All are great fantasy writers. I'm a huge fan of Salvatore's Drizzt series and the Cleric Quintet

I recommend Terry Goodkind also but if you're going to read his sword of Truth series be forewarned, it was based off of Robert Jordans Wheel of Time series. Same story different style. Goodkind is less wordy.

The Codexis Alera series was pretty good.
Jim Butcher is the author.
And speaking of Jim Butcher, the Dresden files
are pretty good to. (modern day wizzard/private investigator)

I highly suggest looking into the "Runelord" series. The author is David Farland. You wont be dissappointed! I'm still working my way through the 10 book series.

Neil Gaiman - American Gods.
Gene Wolf - Sword and Citadel & Shadow and Claw.
Stephen King - The Dark Tower.
All well written, all intense, and Neil Gaiman has a writing style that's eloquent, whimsical, and fun.

American Gods is a must. And The Night Angel trilogy of Brent Weeks. Mark Chadbourne's triple trilogy, starts with The Age Of Misrule, I think. Sharp Teeth by Barlow, werewolves in epic poem form, how can you not get into that? Max Frei The Stranger. Good Omens by Gaiman and Pratchett. The Strain by Hogan and Del Toro. God's Demon by Barlowe. Sorry that's all I can see from where I'm sitting

Wheel of time series. On book four now. I think this is my third time retreading the series. Every few years when another one comes out I'll start it again. Worth the read.

The Eragon series is really good....Paolini finally finished the last book The Inheritance, which I'm reading now. Great read so far. The movie sucked....balls. I just had to say it, I was so disappointed.
