How can you possibly have read 100 fantasy series of books when you only list over 20?

You might try Michael A. Stackpoles Dragon Crown Cycle (1+3 Books) or his "Age of Discovery" series (3 books). Good reading.

Um... clearly that's not a complete list...

Yeah thats not a complete list for one thing the star wars I have read could be considered 10+ series but I really meant over 50+ series for sure and many that aren't complete yet... or very recognizable.

Thanks for all the suggestions most are on my list to get when I next go to used book store. Thanks a lot!

one, two, skip a few, ninety-nine, one hundred! Looks complete to me! :D

But seriously, though, i read that as he's saying he's read most, if not all, of the books on the top 100 list that are fantasy, and wants more recommendations. Not all the books on the top 100 list are fantasy.

Scott Lynch's Gentleman Bastard books are worth reading.

It boggles my mind how not young adult Scott Lynch is.  Sigh.
If I had any clue, would I be here?

Just because little things like this bother me for no reason, it's Westerfeld.  It's like when people say "Steven Erickson" when it is actually "Erikson."  It must be some form of anticipatory fear of having someone spell my name wrong in the event I ever become absurdly famous.

But yeah, Westerfeld is YA (and pretty decent), while Lynch is dark fantasy with lots of adult content (and his novels are awesome).

Don't worry, if you become famous, i will now habitually spell your name wrong on purpose. So be content in the fact that I will most assuredly be correct in the spelling of your name, and just refusing to do so.

@Bookstore: I am a techy. We have absolutely no skill at grammar, pronunciation, or spelling.

I will probably continue to annoy you with stuff like this. I am guessing that you are annoyed at the use of the word "techy".
