I don't read very much fiction, let alone "fantasy fiction", but I enjoyed the Narnia series by C.S. Lewis.

I guess Douglas Adams' books would be described as Sci Fi, but they are my faves: the 5-book Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trilogy" - which I heard on radio first - well not the original broadcast or the rebroadcast - it must have been the recorded version! (Inside joke - see the Radio Scripts.) And his Dirk Gently sci fi mystery books.

Also enjoyed Harry Harrison's Stainless Steel Rat series, and Bill the Galactic Hero series.

My alltime favourite "serious" sci fi book is Carl Sagan's Contact - far better than the movie. (Of course I had to read it because I've read most of his other books. I'm more into classic lit and non-fiction.)
