    SciFi and Fantasy Novels

    I've been on a serious non-fiction kick for the past couple years or so and wanting to get back into fantasy (and maybe some sci-fi) for a while, but struggling to do it. I just can't seem to find anything that manages to scratch the itch. I've put some of the books and series that I've read...
