I read Silverfin too, it's really quite good. The Artemis Fowl books are also great.

I see there are a lot of fantasy fans here, but am I really the only one who has read A Song of Ice and Fire? If so, you guys are really missing out. Those are the best books I've read in years, and they easily constitute the best fantasy I've ever read (beside Tolkien, of course).

I always add to some parts late but on horror/thriller, the worst book I have ever read is Welcome Back to the Night by Elizabeth Massie, this book really freaked me out, after reading the part where Rex told some guy to cut off his own penis or he would kill him well the guy got halfway through cutting it off then he freaked out so Rex cut his throat then cut off some chicks breast, anyway after reading this part I had to put the book down and go do something else for a while.

Looks like an amazon search for "fantasy" and "magic" as keywords to me.
