18 next April LOL.

I've read it already and don't mind saying I love it. There are a lot of freaks out there, but it's a great series.

Pullmans series that starts with the Golden Compass (forgot the name...lol) pees all over Potter :)

Got bored after the third HP book, its the same thing over and over again.

The Dark Materials Triology - Northern Lights, Subtitle Knife,and AMber Spy Glass.

Was good until the last book, IMO then it was just far too biblical for my liking.

Fantasy Geek that I am, David Eddings the Belgriad series and the Malloerean series all 10 books in the correct order are superior to Mr Potter too.

Try Stephen Donaldson's "The Chronicals of Thomas Covenant" or Edgar Rice Burroughs "John Carter on Mars" books.

I love the Harry potter books, but I just can't hack LOTR at all. Maybe that makes me simple, but I really don't care.

LOTR is amazing if you can bear with it, but whoever nominated the Dark Materials trilogy - abso-feckin-lutely.

I'm really not open-minded enough for anything in the fantasy genre. It's probably a deficiency on my part, but I much prefer reading biographies etc.

Absolutely. I've only ever read one novel that I've found to be unputdownable (Get the OED people on the phone). Next time I'm due to see you, remind me in advance to lend you Garry Nelson's autobiography.

Well, it's at least as good as 'page-turner', which is nonsense on a couple of levels.

Anyway, yep, will do... who is he?! :oops:
