I prefer novels set in the United States, in contemporary times, with a female protagonist.

Other than the Big Names (LOTR, Narnia, Harry Potter), I haven't read much scifi/fantasy, but I definitely see their appeal. <BR/><BR/>I like your new About Me blurb, by the way!Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17358441701832129130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464904.post-1129738104349702432005-10-19T09:08:00.000-07:002005-10-19T09:08:00.000-07:00I am currently re-reading the LOTR to Cuppa at nig...I am currently re-reading the LOTR to Cuppa at night -- five pages at a time. We're now getting close to Mordor.<BR/><BR/>I prefer the fantasy side of sci fi/fantasy, but I have pretty well given up. I have read Lewis, Eddings, Brook, Donaldson, Kay and others. I think Donaldson is a great writer, but I'm not too sure about his most recent foray back into Thomas Covenant.<BR/><BR/>There is a real tendency for fantasy writers to play with us, like Robert Jordan in his <I>Wheel of Time</I> series that is now in its eleventh volume. While the first few volumes were interesting, I gave up around volume 6!!Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464904.post-1129731471702826192005-10-19T07:17:00.000-07:002005-10-19T07:17:00.000-07:00Good for you Gina!!!Hi there.
