I wrote this list up for a friend of mine who is an avid reader, but hasn't really gotten into fantasy much. It's basically a list of my all time favorites, divided into categories, with mention of a few other people I think are important. If you decide to read this, be warned. It's full of personal opinion and snarkiness. My friend has done the same thing for Science Fiction, which I haven't read much of, and I hope to post a link to his list here soon.

On a slightly related note, here are some of my thoughts about how and why to start your own book journal. It's a great way to record your thoughts about the books you love to read. And hey, who doesn't want to spend more time thinking about books?

Yes! What this section was supposed to be about! As I get more of these up, I might organize them by category or author... but for now I'll be happy if I can just get one up every time I finish a book! I finished one last night (1/26/04) and thought to myself, "why not just post about it?" Most of these are going to be taken from what I've written in my book journal... so it'll be a reflection of what I'm reading and thinking about at the moment.
