On a similar vein as Matthew’s post on fictional mentors, The Torch online has an article on the best pets, familiars, and animal companions in the fantasy genre. The article, though, restricts itself to only those pets, familiars, and animals that have a real world counterpart. But two Harry Potter pets make the list. If you’d like to comment on this article, feel free to not restrict yourself to only real world animals but on any pet, familiar, or animal companion found in fantasy stories. Enjoy!
I sometimes cruise a number of political sites/blogs from across the political spectrum when the mood strikes, like it has over the last couple of days.
It just so happens that while doing so today, I ran into a list of recent fantasy books compiled by Orson Scott Card at the National Review Online’s blog, The Corner.
Check it here, if you’re interested. His descriptions are succinct, but a few of them sound interesting, and I’m actually not a big fan of fantasy lit.
(I have to admit, when I think of lists of fantasy-genre fiction, National Review doesn’t always come to mind…)
By Matthew
A huge poll to further our recent discussions on fantasy and great or classic literature.
Rules:
- Do not vote for anything unless you have read it- even if you have heard it is great or you like other works from that author
- Don’t vote for something even if you have read it and like it.
- Don’t vote for something if you have only seen a movie version of the title, regardless of how faithfully it has been rendered.
- Your votes must be what you think is GREAT or CLASSIC literature however you define that.
- Vote for as many titles as you like as long as it is GREAT or CLASSIC literature.
The list has been derived from “The Top 100 fantasy books of all-time as of September 2008″
