Who Is Your Favorite Fantasy Writer?

[Baruch Menachem]

With two teenagers, I am seeing more and more of this stuff. However, when I was that age, I detested the genre. But now I am a roaring Harry Potter and Terry Pratchett fan.

Anyway, who do you like and why

Paul Krugman came immediately to mind before I clicked on the thread!

Ayn Rand. Hands down. Life changing and Prophetic.

 

[Mr. Sauerkraut]

There are so many great authors it's hard to pick just a few... Piers Anthony, R.A. Salvatore, Robert Heinlein, David Eddings, Tamora Pierce, Robert Jordan. Just to name a very few.

Tolkien is king.

I've also enjoyed Piers Anthony (particularly the Incarnations series), Stephen R. Donaldson, Robert Jordan, Tad Williams, C. S. Lewis, David Eddings...and don't forget Ray Bradbury.
