Aaah, gotta start with the hard questions, don't ya? ^_~
Current favorite series is The Second Apocalypse, by R. Scott Bakker. Thoroughly disturbing in a way that makes me want to both run away screaming, and keep reading forever. Simultaneousley. I haven't gotten to read the most recent one yet as I am currently in Japan, which is not very near to Canada, where it was published... sad. But I will get to read it in June! Happy!
Other favorites include pretty much any and all short stories by Neil Gaiman, as well as the Graveyard Book, and Good Omens. Mirrormask and Sandman too, if we're allowed to delve into non-novel fantasy here. ^_^"
Speaking of Good Omens, I love me some Pratchett. Discworld, gotta love it.
Favorite of all time though still stands as His Dark Materials, by Terry Pratchett. I like his newer spinoffs on the series too, especially Once Upon a Time in the North.
Oh, and like every unoriginal fan out there, I followed the Harry Potter series obsessively. Yay!
Recently I've also been into more magical realism type fantasy, like books by Haruki Murakami and Randy Taguchi. I guess maybe you could slip Wickett's Remedy into that category too, but it's only barely outside regular fiction. Still, good book!
I look forward to talking with everyone and eventually being able to make posts when I manage to get an invite. (^_^)v ::peace::
