SciFi and Fantasy eBook Club discussion

Hey everyone, how's it going?

First of all, once again I wrote way too much, so I'll just ask you to read the next 3 paragraphs. After that feel free to respond.

I don't know if I mentioned this, but when I was a teenager in junior high I read quite a bit(at a considerably slower pace than I do now) but I read horror with stuff like Fear Street by R.L. Stine. Well, I've wondered what I missed out during that time.

I'm looking for some suggestions for some either young adult(yep people that know me, you heard me!) or adult fantasy novels. Stuff that I could have gotten at the library if I had just had the interest in such things that came out in the 90's.

Oh, and I don't know if anyone would be interested, but I'd also like to create a topic for it where I act like I'm posting on a blog back from this time and I'm posting for my online friends, and maybe some of you can respond to him.

Ok, you read the essential part. Feel free to stop reading and respond now.

Here's what I'm looking for. However I"M VERY flexible on all of this if you explain yourself.

-nothing from modern day. Preferably medievil, but it doesn't have to be, just need something from the past. When I was a teen, I wanted to escape into the past.

-The whole series can't be more than 1200 pages, no matter how many book it is. Hoping for a trilogy. My teen and also modern self gets excited by trilogies!

Bonus optionals.

-preferably a series that was completed by the year 2000 at the latest.

-preferably something that's doesn't really deal with shades of gray(when I was a teenager, I looked at things in a very black and white sort of way)

-Preferably something with a really really cool title

This is some popular stuff that I've looked at so far that doesn't work.

Harry Potter
A song of ice and Fire(this is more of a high school me.)
Wheel of Time(this is more of a high school me.)
His Dark Materials(i'm looking for young adult to adult, this seems to be aimed at 10 year olds)
Terry Pratchett books(i might have read this as a teen, but only to pretend that I like it to seem cool.)
Tad Williams books(they sound so promising, why do they have to be 900 pages long? It's not fair! :( )
Terry Goodkind(Just fucking NO! Just NO!)
Dark Tower(I'd be turned away by the fact that it's Stephen King)
The Coldfire Trilogy(anyone kne anything like this series that's shorter, it';s about 500 pages too long)

Here's some things that I've found that might work

Farseer Trilogy(The literally better than nothing pick. hopefully we can think of something better)

The Sword of Shannara(I know it's like 750 pages, but at the same time the title would have really pulled my teenage self in, and from what I hear you can read the book by itself and be fine. I know it's not known as a good series, but again, my teen self would have loved it. Again though, hopefully we can think of something better.)

DragonRiders of Pern Trilogy(ok, it's actually from the 70's but my teenage self actualy wanted to read this, but he never got the chance because he couldn't find it. Again, hopefully we can find something better.)

Pern is very good. Like most McCaffery it develops slowly and is character driven.

yeah, a lot of people are recommending that I go with Pern.

And please don't overlook this question.

Oh, and I don't know if anyone would be interested, but I'd also like to create a topic for it where I act like I'm posting on a blog back from this time and I'm posting for my online friends, and maybe some of you can respond to him.

Raymond Feist - Riftwar Saga

Anything by Fred Saberhagen.

Michael Scott Rohan's Winter of the World trilogy.

Brian Aldiss's Heliconia trilogy

I think you may dig Through the Ice by Piers Anthony and Robert Kornwise. It was the first fantasy book I read cover to cover in a single day back in the 90's.

Piers Anthony On a Pale Horse starts the Immorality series
Anne Bishop
Enders Game by Orson Scott Card is a classic I was in my teens when I first read it and it was awesome

You could always go with Melanie Rawn's Dragon Prince and Dragon Star trilogies!
