Poll: ;Best Fantasy Epic of All Time (not counting LoR)

wallpad · 10-15-2005, 06:39 AM

If we exclude Lord of the Rings, which created the genre, what would you pick as the best Fantasy Epic of all time? My vote goes to the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin, whose first book is A Game of Thrones. It has great story lines, fascinating characters, and complete unpredictabilty. Book 4 is coming out next month and I can't wait.

What's your favorite?

Homer's Iliad and Odyssey...They are MUCH older than Lord of the Rings.

My favourite fantasy books are the books in the Inheritance Trilogy, written by Christopher Paolini. The Harry Potter Septology probably comes second.

P.S. I'm saying "probably" because there are the Bartimaeus Trilogy and also the Artemis Fowl series.

Oh yeah, and let us not forget about the Bible, Qur'an and the Torah. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I thought that Homer's Iliad and Odyssey were real.

Uhmmm...the gods have main role in them, you really think they could be real?

Of course they're based on legends of real events...but that's the case with most of fantasy.

As for the question in the topic, I'd also probably say Bible - after all, most succesfull book in history.
