    Za s/f zwykle nie przepadam, ale fantastykę lubię.
    W moim przypadku jest bardzo klasycznie - przeczytałam większość dzieł tolkienowskich, ale dawno już po niego nie sięgałam.
    Ostatnio na tapecie mam Pratchetta i jego właśnie gorąco polecam, choć pewnie już go czytywałaś. Niesamowity, inteligentny humor, groteska i do tego genialne zabawy słowne :)

    When I was a teenager (ahem, a few years ago!) I was really into fantasy and sci-fi novels. There are several books that I loved by the author John Wyndha. As well, another novel called "The Last Unicorn" by Peter S. Beagle is another classic and all are must reads!!

    Did you ever read "The Giver" by Lois Lowry? This is marketed to teens, but it is enjoyable by all and very different -- it does not disappoint. (former middle school reading teacher)

    I read a little of both. I was never really into sci-fi but the book that introduced me to sci-fi was The Host by Stephanie Meyer. It's a great read for those who aren't too sure about Sci-fi. I was in fact really surprised that Stephanie Meyer wrote a book like this because it's nothing like the Twilight series at all. I couldn't even say which one is better because they are both soooo different. They are both awesome in their own ways. The main character in The Host is someone you really like and come to understand. So if you haven't read this one I would definitely go for it.

    a co do literatury - sf to raczej nie moja działka :p ale już fantasy... mrrr... ^^
    ulubieni autorzy - Pratchett, LeGuin, papcio Tolkien, Grzędowicz, Łukianienko... całe stadko :D

    a jeśli idzie o jakieś konkretne propozycje tytułów...
    Patrole ("Nocny Patrol", "Dzienny Patrol", "Patrol Zmierzchu", "Ostatni Patrol") Łukianienki (kocham miłością wielką :))
    Ziemiomorze LeGuin - dla mnie pozycja obowiązkowa i jedna z najlepszych książek jakie w ogóle czytałam :)
    "Pan Lodowego Ogrodu" Grzędowicza
    "Mgły Avalonu" Marion Zimmer Bradley (bardzo ważna dla mnie książka - ryczałam nad nią jak bóbr)
    "Amerykańscy Bogowie", "Gwiezdny Pył", "Nigdziebądź" Gaimana

    a tak bardziej "rozrywkowo" to może być na przykład
    "Wiedźma.com.pl" Białołęckiej
    "Zawód: Wiedźma" Olgi Gromyko
    "Nekromeron" Ugriumowów (ludzie się na mnie dziwnie patrzyli w autobusie, bo rechotałam przy tym jak szalona :P)
    "Podatek" Mileny Wojtowicz (jw., a jak się jeszcze mieszka w Lublinie... ta, wiem, patriotyzm lokalny mi się włącza :P)..

    oj, mogłabym tak podawać jeszcze długo... :D

    Lovely giveaway! (Do come visit mine too!) I read sci-fi/fantasy, though I'm not as up-to-date anymore (less reading time with two littleones, a fulltime job and all my sewing/crafty activities). I used to love books, many ones for teens, by: Margaret Mahy (esp. The Changeover), Robin McKinley (lots of different good ones), John Bellairs (House with the Clock in the Walls, etc.), Susan Cooper (the Dark is Rising series). More recently, and for "grown ups", I have enjoyed Susana Clark's Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell. I also really love the novels of Haruki Murakami and also John Mitchell. They're not exactly sci-fi but they are avery surreal and play with time and mystery. Happy reading and thanks for the giveaway!

    Ohhh my muse is just a dancin seeing all that lovely fabric and ribbon ^_^

    I love to read...I'm on a first name basis with most of the folks at our local library..LOL!! I love fantasy. I just finished a really great series by Kim Harrison. It's called "The Hollows". There are 9 books and each one just gets better and better. It's a series you will want to read in order to really enjoy them. If you like vampires, witches, faeries, pixies and gargoyles then you will LOVE these novels. Another really great fantasy writer is Christine Feehan...her "Dark Books" series are really good and you don't have to read them in order..each one stands alone very well on it's own. (of course I am trying to read them in order..LOL)

    I love seeing everything that you are up to and visit (quietly) often.

    Read the Chaos Walking trilogy by Patrick Ness. It starts with The Knife of Never Letting Go, continues with The Ask and the Answer, and ends with Monsters of Men. It will lift you up and break your heart all at once. My 14 year old is reading them right now and I'm loving reliving it through his eyes. Also, The Mount by Carol Emshwiller is weird and really interesting. And one of my favorites from the past year is The Dust of 100 Dogs by A.S. King. I guess that last one's not really SF, but it does have some fantastic elements. Sorry, I tend to go on about books!

    Oh gosh, I do read fantasy/sci-fi, but can't really recommend anyone at the moment. Been extremely disappointed by the last couple that I read. One of those was Laurel K. Hamilton. Such promise, but so little actual story. Sad, but true. The best book that I've read lately is The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie, and believe it or not, it has an alternate reality feel to it. So beautiful that I don't even feel adequate to write a book review. Tom Robbins, with his Still Life with Woodpecker is another quirky alternate reality type book, but I'm not sure how I would classify either of these books. Maybe not your usual reads, but definitely entertaining . . .

    The best sf I read in the last time was "Babylon Babies" from Maurice Dantec.
