P.C. Hodgell seems to have been almost Tolkienesque in her development of this rich intricate world of the (seemingly) god-abandoned Kencyrath. A high fantasy must for readers of the genre from '80s.

A Wizard of Earthsea (1968) written by Ursula K. Le Guin
“
Wonderful... Another highly influential high-fantasy book from my teenage years. I read the mid-1970s as a youth along with the Lord of the Rings. Magical summer memories, long days spent just reading

Ill Met in Lankhmar written by Fritz Leiber
“
The prototypical sword and sorcery tales from the early 1970's. You'll recognize a thousand tropes/memes of later/current fantasy works, without the same verve. D&D gaming must be partly born of this.

Dragonsong (1976) written by Anne McCaffrey
“
Back when Anne McCaffrey was a real author, she wrote this, one of the most perfect YA fantasy titles. I found this book when I was having a tough time as a teen and it was tremendous uplift to me.

The Beekeeper's Apprentice (1994) written by Laurie R. King
“
It is an amazing start to great series of books that are much more than period mysteries of the post-WWI England (and the world for that matter) featuring the 'retired' Sherlock Holmes's apprentice.

Dead Until Dark (2001) written by Charlaine Harris
“
True Blood may be a fun Showtime show, and is certainly more 'inclusive' but this is the book that started it all. Certainly more accessible than the author's paranormal contemporary, Laurell Hamilton

Whale Rider (2002) directed by Niki Caro
“
The great New Zealand film? It's certainly a wonderful whale of a tale of a girl overcoming the constrictive male-dominated Maori culture to become leader. Antidote to Once We Were Warriors (grim!)

Serpent's Reach (1980) written by C. J. Cherryh
“
It's an excellent introduction to one SciFi's great serious Feminist Authors. She can be quite intimidating (Cyteen and Regenesis are scary huge books, the first a classic!) and has won many an award.

Once Dead, Twice Shy (2009) written by Kim Harrison
“
the kids will love it... YA Urban Fantasy by the author of the Hallows series. If love em undead, teenaged and angsty, here's looking at you kid.

Hippy Trance Goodness... Take that Last Train to Lhasa for a mind expanding good ride.

Baraka (1992) directed by Ron Fricke

It's been given a total digital makeover and is supposedly ready for the 2K-4K digital film displays...Great on Blu-ray.
