Science Fiction/Fantasy Books...

Looked at the discussions in livejournal on the SF/Fantasy debate, and all the memes, and thought, wouldn't it be fun to attempt my own list of SF/Fantasy I've read?

SF/Fantasy debate

Fantasy gets a harsh rap. Not sure why exactly, I personally prefer it or fantasy/sf hybrids to most science-fiction, because the focus seems to be more on character and less on setting, scientific predictions, gadgets, or moral themes.
There's a lot of horrible fantasy out there, sure, but there is equally quite a bit of horrible science fiction, I know I've read some of it. And yes, when we come right down to it, this is all highly subjective. But that's half the fun.

Fantasy - if you are one of those people who thinks Fantasy is all dwarves, elves, goblins, and socerers - you haven't read
much fantasy in your lifetime.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer is considered fantasy by the way.
So is Paradise Lost by Milton. And Dante's Inferno (although this could depend on your beliefs). And A Midsummer Night's Dream by Shakespeare. As are most fairy tales and the stories of Hans Christian Anderson. Not all fantasy is nostalgic or light. Not all fantasy is dark. Like science fiction, it has its variations.

Fantasy can fall into the horror category at times. Or cross over. BTVS melded fantasy and horror, rarely sci-fi.

Some interesting Fantasy Books I can think of off the top of my head : ( my fantasy list of books, that are in my library or read by me )
