100 Must-Read Fantasy Novels - Page 2

This is my second list based on Bloomsbury's Good Reading Guides series, this one was written by Nick Rennison & Stephen E. Andrews. A few pre-1950 books, but most should be familiar. In alphabetical order by author, though I messed up on Alan Garner's "The Weirdstone of Brisingamen". It's nice to see "Game of Thrones" here, I hope George R.R. Martin brings back Jon Snow! I have my own theory about him & I'd like it to be proven true!(It concerns Lyanna Stark's final words to Ned, which I believe was a reference to "A Christmas Carol".) Enjoy!
