Vi liker lister gjør vi ikke?

Jo det gjør vi, her er en liste over bøker som kan være fine startpunkter for dem som ennå ikke har kastet seg ut i fantasysjangeren, og ikke helt vet hvor de skal begynne.

Vel de, kan f.eks begynne med China Mieville?

Let’s get things clear from the start: this book made me want to write fantasy. Nothing beforehand was inspirational enough. This book clears the deck of everything you knew before, and says: yes, secondary worlds don’t have to be bland, cod-medieval dramas. You can do stuff that’s, quite frankly, bat-shit crazy and make it work. It’s grungy, alive, intense, vivid and varied and dripping in brine. Reading this is a bit like having the best sex of your life; when you’re inhaling on that post-coitus cigarillo, you realise sadly that anything afterwards just won’t hit the spot.
