Read Fantasy/ Sci-Fi Books? Can you recommend some or authors? The only one I really know is H.P. Lovecraft hehee.

I recommend The Lyonesse Trilogy by Jack Vance (and pretty much everything else by him), Dying Inside and The Book of Skulls by Robert Silverberg, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick, The Best Short Stories of J.G. Ballard by J.G. Ballard (if you like this, pick up The Complete Stories of J.G. Ballard), The Snow Queen by Joan D. Vinge and Sandkings by George R. R. Martin (if you like this you might also want to check out his A Song of Ice and Fire series which everyone seems to love and has recently been adapted to the TV where it's called Game of Thrones; it's one of the most popular shows on TV right now. I've yet to read it. You may also want to check out Dreamsongs vol. 1 & 2 which are anthologies of George Martin's short stories/novellas/novellettes).

It's a bit hokey by today's standards (it is nearly 100 years old!), but I enjoy the "John Carter of Mars" series by Edgar Rice Burroughs (better known as the creator of Tarzan). Worth reading if you want to read something that influenced lots of SF and Fantasy authors.

I just have to say, he's not long-established or anything, but Walter Moers' books are a blast. They can be quite gory and revel in creepiness but are really zany and humorous at the same time. They are originally in German but the translations are great to read even so.

Thanks you guys! All of these are really interesting and I'll definitely take a look at some of them!
