Do you like this stuff...

Wait, does "HP" mean "Harry Potter," or "H.P. Lovecraft?"
I was almost tempted to put in "With rum," just to see how many people would freak out.
I still don't drink, so don't worry.

Harry Potter.

Harry Potter.

Okay, thanks.
I read those books a while ago... they were pretty good.
Has anyone read the Septimus Heap books?

LOTR is top of my list (of the polled items); the books; NOT the movies. I enjoy the costumes, the special effects and the landscapes but not the way Hollywood absolutely eviscerated the classical masterpieces of JRR Tolkein of their depth, mystery & glory. Tolkien also wrote a number of excellent short stories. My favorite is "Leaf, by Niggle".

Harry Potter is fun.

You forgot CS Lewis' fantasies; The Chronicles of Narnia (Disney should NEVER have been allowed to make those hideous, vapid parodies, though.) His more adult-focused fantasies, particularly "'Til We Have Faces" are well worth reading also. It's often difficult to interpret these (as it is with all great literary fantasies), but they leave you with that slightly disturbed sense of wonder—as if something profound and earth-shaking is buried just beneath the surface.

George MacDonald (a contemporary and friend of the great satirist Lewis Carol (Alice in Wonderland, etc.)) is the grandfather of them all. (Speaking only of the modern-era writers) He (like CS Lewis) wrote in several genres, both fiction and non-fiction. I love his fantasies best--Lilith and Phantasties are my top-line faves.

You are awesome!!!

I should add those ones!! And maybe take a few options off??? I think I’m gonna combine LOTR and Hobbit and put Tolkien in parentheses or something? And add the others.

And I should read those ones too. I don’t really read like at all anymore despite having a lot of books. I think I actually have a Narnia book one of my high school English teachers gave me like senior year but I never read it. Maybe I will!

 

[ShrekDawg]

Okay, I couldn’t combine the Tolkien ones but I’ve added some more options to the poll!! I’ve expanded it to include a bit more variety.

Only some, though.

Oh, definitely. I just meant that there's some stuff that I avoid like the plague, hence the hugging.
