The Best Fantasy Books To Get Yourselves On The Adventure Of Your Life

By Gina Regis


An Englishman along with his alien companion survive the annihilation of The planet Earth and they embark on a search for a legendary planet as well as to Question the Ultimate Answer ("Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams). A 12 year old criminal mastermind kidnaps a fairy for a big pot of gold ("Artemis Fowl" by Eon Colfer). The ancient gods of myth duke it all out with the western gods of technology ("American Gods" by Neil Gaiman). A minority of the world's best fantasy books present some of the world's best (and strangest) minds.

Fantasy books, for people who have a tendency to have a very short attention span, can pose quite a challenge to read through. However, the stories are so insanely interesting that it's totally ordinary to want to read through a fantasy book. When you eventually get into it's world and go over and above five pages, you will understand it's actually one tough tale to follow along with. The majority of first-time readers of fantasy books find the need to make notes so that they could keep track of all the comings and goings of all the characters. For instance, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien. You can get lost in the sophisticated earths, the numerous characters, as well as the esoteric language.

Books from Philip K. Dick, Ray Bradbury, Terry Pratchett, Tolkien, Gaiman, and various other excellent writers just like them create worlds beyond anything. They create stories from the most implausible circumstances, definitively embodying the genre of fantasy and sci-fi books. A collection that includes 1 or 2 titles from these revered writers will be a covetous collection.

More latest titles to include in your collection will be the Game of Thrones books by George R.R. Martin. Published in August 1996, the epic fantasy novel has since developed into a cult favourite and won a number of literary prizes such as the World Fantasy Award in The late nineties. The beloved series conveys the saga of noble houses of Westeros, the Wall, along with the Tangaryen. The book has been adapted for a ten-part HBO series to critical acclaim, getting "Game of Thrones" into the general market.

Apart from the popularity of epic medieval tales, the adorations and lives of vampires are also getting their fair share of popularity. Anyone who hasn't heard of the "Twilight" series is either telling lies or has lived as a hermit for many years. But "Twilight" is not actually the only vampire title getting attention. A band of Southern belles and bloodthirsty rogues from "True Blood" have grown to be household names, also. Individuals who have seen True Blood online and on HBO may not be mindful that the popular TV series is in fact based on "The Southern Vampire Mysteries" authored by Charlaine Harris.

As you read books, you expect to be sent to a new world. When you read fantasy books, you'll be taken to another world where vampires work as waitresses, kings and lords battle it out and strange women give birth to dragons, and adventures between lifelong friends are taken to ditch one nefarious ring.
