    *rolls eyes* Twilight is kinda sorta targeted towards girls, but there is no reason a guy can't read it. Lol.

    And it's not ALL romance, as any twilight fan can tell you. All things considered, i still recommend it to you.

    xD then don't read it, its very good though.

    umm, I'm more into mystery and romance so i dunno what to say >.>
    but you could try anything from Norah McClintock, mainly the Mike and Riel series. They are very good. <-- 98% mystery, 2% romance.

    I refuse to read the Twilight series simply because everyone else did. I'm contrary like that. xD

    Fantasy-wise, I'd have to strongly recommend the Legend of Drizzt series by R.A. Salvatore. It's your typical fantasy-esque story told from an interesting character's point of view. You can start with either The Crystal Shard or Homeland; the former was written first, while the latter is almost like a prelude to the series.

    I really liked The Chronicals of Narnia Series. I know they're making movies, but the books are a lot better.

    I have to agree with Amber that the Chronicles of Narnia are awesome, as is Harry Potter (although I'm sure you've read/tried that already XD)...but other than that...I don't know any other good books to recommend you, since you don't really like books with the genre of romance much and that's what I mostly read. :sweatdrop:​

    Terry Pratchett pwns all! LOL It's funny and has all the fantasy stuff.

    If you're gonna read them, start with the Death series (Mort, Reaper Man, Soul Music, Hogfather, Theif of Time) But deffinatly start reading the others soon after, there's like a million in jokes and running gags that you won't get if you don't read most of them.

    What about EarthShine?

    It's pretty good. I'm still reading it though.

    If you're looking for a good series, I'd suggest the Dragonlance series. Your best bet with that series is to start with the Chronicles trilogy (Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night, Dragons of Spring Dawning). Those are, in my opinion, the better books, but the Legends trilogy is good too. But you'd definitely want to read the Chronicles trilogy before the Legends trilogy or you will get confused.

    I don't know if you've heard of it but an aussie series called SHADES is really good, or the navigator series...... if manga, go for queenie chan's books :)

    For mature fantasy with a twinge of horror, read The Dark Tower series, by Stephen King. He's pretty much the greatest modern horror writer, and an excellent fantasy writer, too.

    My suggestion isn't really fantasy, but if you're looking for something that is more targeted towards boys, I'd try King Dork. Great, great book.
