What fantasy/science fiction books are 800 pages or more?
Q. What fantasy/science fiction books are 800 pages or more? Besides the following which I've already read: Song of Ice and Fire, Sword of Truth, Wheel of Time, Farseer/Liveship Traders/Tawny Man, Harry Potter, and the Malazan Empire. I already read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.

A. Any of the Chung Kuo novels by David Wingrove are at least 700 pages a piece and there are 8 of them. Most of Tad Williams books and series are ridiculously long. Dhalgren is a great post-apocalyptic novel by Samuel R. Delaney that runs pretty close to 800 pages. Even Robert McCammon's book (Swan Song) is over 800 pages. Stephen King's The Stand is over 1000 pages but that's not really sci fi or fantasy. Battlefield Earth by L.Ron Hubbard is another novel that ridiculously too long (and a waste of time in my opinion...don't bother reading it)

What is a good fantasy/science fiction/alternate history book to read?
Q. I'm looking for a good book to read. I like fantasy, science fiction and alternate history. I've read most of the more common and popular books in these genres and am looking for something new. I've read The Wheel of Time series, Malazan Book of the Fallen, The Dresden Files, all of Simon .R Greens books, a song of ice and fire, all of Harry Turtledoves books, and the series 1632.

A. Book of the New Sun -Gene Wolfe. A sort of combined sci/fi fantasy book which is the story of Severian the torturer. "This is the first-person narrative of Severian, a lowly apprentice torturer blessed and cursed with a photographic memory, whose travels lead him through the marvels of far-future Urth, and who--as revealed near the beginning--eventually becomes his land's sole ruler or Autarch. On the surface it's a colorful story with all the classic ingredients: growing up, adventure, sex, betrayal, murder, exile, battle, monsters, and mysteries to be solved. (Only well into book 2 do we realize what saved Severian's life in chapter 1.) For lovers of literary allusions, they are plenty here: a Dickensian cemetery scene, a torture-engine [cont.]

A. A great one I listened to was "Spirits in the Wires" by Charles de Lint. It is not necessarily my favorite de Lint book, but the audiobook presentation is one of the best I've ever heard. It features two speakers, a male and a female, and they alternate depending on the character's gender, but they each know how to do a variety of voices and accents. "Spirits in the Wires" is part of de Lint's Newford series. Another good book from that series is "The Onion Girl," which has been recently made into an audiobook, though I haven't heard it yet. I'm hoping my library will one day carry it, and I may order it from Amazon, if the price goes down.

Anne McCaffrey has quite a few books dealing with dragons. Mercedes Lackey's Heralds of Valdmar series is by far my favorite fantasy series; Anne McCaffrey's Dragonrider's of Pern is a close second.

Anthony likes to fill his book with puns and Heinlein's stories are offbeat but fun. also, if you don't mind some young adult stories, the Pendragon series by D.J. Machale is really good. A boy finds out that he has to save the entire universe, Halla, from falling to an evil power. Each book builds on the previous ones and they each take place somewhere differnet. For instance, one world is ocmpletely underwater and another is in 1940's New York. Happy reading!

A. Do you really want me to get started on this one? Okay, you're the one that asked the question... Yes, there's a difference. Science fiction should have some base in science, even if it's a tiny base, but fantasy doesn't have to. For instance (this could not be the right example) fantasy can have flying horses and there's no problem with that but if those same flying horses are in science fiction there should be some reason why the horses can fly (alien, anti-gravity, whatever). Fantasy can be written without any theories to back up your story but science fiction should have some base, some theoretical fact that makes sense.

For example, a portal leading to alternate dimensions are considerably different than a space/time portal that takes you to a different location in space/time.

Q. I buy lots of books for nieces and nephews. Need recommendations of both recent and classical fiction for both teens and preteens. It would be especially helpful if you could give comments/summaries in addition to titles and authors. Not too violent and no sex. Also, no fantasy and no science fiction because I've submitted separate questions for those. thank you so much for your suggestions.

A. Try some of these: Neil Gaiman is an amazing author! Any of his books are good. Try Neverwhere, Stardust or Coraline. Any books by Scott Westernfeld or Neal Shusterman are really good too. Any books by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes are amazing! There is In The Forest of The Night, Demon In My View, Shattered Mirror, Midnight Predator. And then there is the The Kiesha'ra series: Hawksong (the best in the series!), Snakecharm, Falcondance, Wolfcry and Wyverhail. Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause Abarat by Clive Barker, Make sue you get the hardcover version though!!! If you liked the first one be sure to check out the next book in the series Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War. Daughters of Destiny series: Keeper of the Winds by… [cont.]

What are several major magazines with the genres of fantasy, science fiction, or horror?

A. The best place to research on the biggest seller's for this type of thing is at a chain book store, B&N or Borders. You'll see Azimov's and Hitchcock and a couple other big selling genre mags. I suggest buying a few issues of it while you're there. While you're at the store pick up the newest editions of Best American Short Stories, and the O'Henry Prize Stories and look at the listings they have in the back. Also take a browse through this web page: www.newpages.com It's an excellent resource. Good luck.
