I enjoyed that series.

[carol. , Senor Crabbypants]

Oh, good one, Traci. His Phule's Company is a little less silly than Myth series, but good.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I like Asprin. Snapped up the "Myth" books a while back.

[Arthur]

I just joined this group and I have read three - count them - selections from this list. And I've only read the first Potter book. Bleh.

[Joshua]

I'm starting late, but I'm coming in at 20. I plan to add at least another 20 this year.

[carol. , Senor Crabbypants]

Auguste--no time like the present :)

Good luck, Joshua!

But now you have so much to look forward to! :-)

[Alastair]

I've read 49 of them. There are about 25 of the unread that I don't ever intend on reading - Mary Poppins, other YA stuff, the Trudi Canavan one, some of the yet-another-Arthurian-rewrites, etc. That leaves me about 25 strong suggestions which is pretty awesome :)

[Anastasia]

I am a horrible fantasy fan! Out of 100 there I've actually read TWO. *headdesk* A few I saw the movie version but never actually read the book. Oh goodness. Okay, I'm going to save this list and start reading.

I feel like I'm not "geek" enough now. :(

We've been known to destroy TBR lists. :D

[Ceilidh]

I'm in love with this list! Thank you for posting it...time to get to work!

Right? My TBR right now is filled with self-pub or new release stuff so now I have to join that with THIS monster of a thing. Oi! But, I'll try my best. Now that my son no longer destroys books (seriously) I'm able to read more often, so..slowly but surely I'll get there!

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Look on the bright side... All these great books still to discover. In a way I envy you your first read of many of these.

[Bryan]

Wow, great list! I've read 32 of the entries, although I didn't count entries where I've read one book of the seires and didn't move on to the rest, so I've actually read stuff by over half of the authors. Still, even though there are a bunch of authors on this list who I'm not a huge fan of and won't willingly read again(Piers Anthony, R.A. Salvatore, ect.), you guys have still added a good 20 titles to my list!

Damn you and thank you!

Our job here is done.


:-D

[carol. , Senor Crabbypants]

Maybe we should try it again, say just the top 20 or so. By the time we got to the end of the 100 list, a lot of the books just had one vote.

Yeah, I feel the same way.

hmmmmm


*strokes chin*

[carol. , Senor Crabbypants]

Right? But I'm not clever enough with the polling/stats part to figure out how to do it without using surveymonkey.

And this time, I'm not letting in Homer or Mary Poppins. :P

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Homer who....?

:)

[carol. , Senor Crabbypants]

Simpson.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

....I though maybe it was Homer Price.

[Bryan]

What's wrong with Homer? Witches, a cyclops, giants, sea monsters...sounds like fantasy to me.
