Cooper's The Dark is Rising, Weiss and Hickman's Deathgate Cycle, Morgan's The Steel Remains, Hobb's Assassin's Quest, Sanderson's Warbreaker, Jones' A Sword of Shadows, Jordan's The Dragon Reborn, Moorcock's The Stealer of Souls, and Abercrombie's The Blade Itself all have potential as great fantasy titles (we'll steer clear of their literary qualities for the moment), as does the Malazan series, Deadhouse Gates, Reaper's Gale, Toll the Hounds, and The Crippled God, not too shabby. Philip K. Dick's titles--like the novels themselves--are just plain weird--Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Now Wait for Last Year, The Man Whose Teeth Were All Exactly Alike, and Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said to name a few. But none are as grand as Donaldson's. Nothing strikes you quite like "Lord Foul's Bane" spoken in a slow, deep voice. You can almost hear the drums pounding. So, congratulations, you win! :) (Maybe for your website you might ask readers what they think the most classically stereotypical fantasy title of all time is? I'm sure they will come up with things you and I have never heard of!!)Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796098208589965362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670543499274741427.post-20844524071087864742012-07-03T17:58:54.166+02:002012-07-03T17:58:54.166+02:00"Lord Foul's Bane" is my favorite ti..."Lord Foul's Bane" is my favorite title in all of fantasy literature.
