Guide to the Best Fantasy Books

"BestFantasyBooks.com Fantasy Book Guide"

The fantasy genre has become popular the past few years. Once a genre restricted to a few Tolkien fanatics, Fantasy has now gone mainstream in a big way, from the mega popular Harry Potter series capturing the world's attention for a decade, to this recent Twilight craze, to a host of other popular fantasy books, games, and movies that have been popping up the past few years.

If you are looking to find good fantasy books, it can be downright painful. There are plenty of good fantasy reads, but because of fantasy's current popularity, the genre has become clogged with mediocre book after mediocre book. Most of the speculative fiction novels you see in the book store are terrible. To help people find those good fantasy gems, I've put together many best fantasy book recommendation lists. I've been reading fantasy books for 21 years and there's not much that I haven't read. While I agree that some of my favourites may not be your favourites (people have different tastes in fantasy literature), I've read most of the stuff out there. I encourage you to read a wide selection of the books on the TOP Lists -- you may find that your fantasy literary tastes, if you are used to Terry Goodkind, David Eddings, and Terry Brooks, may drastically evolve. You can see the full lists on the left hand navigation bar.

If you want to see the best of the best in the fantasy genre, then start off with the Top 25 Best Fantasy Book list. You may also want to check out the Great Fantasy Books List to see books that almost made the Top 25 and are all MUST reads for any fantasy book lover. If you've read all the books on the Top 25 and Great book lists, take a look at the Good Fantasy Books list. This list contains fantasy books that, while not the best in the genre, still make for entertaining reads. I'll be adding other lists shortly -- subgenre recommendations and lists of the current HOT fantasy books. If you like science fiction movies (or fantasy movies), be sure to check out the Best Fantasy Movies section for some recommendations on the best science fiction, fantasy, and anime films.
