(Ooh, a very late reply XD)
But I'd say I'm quite into sci-fi and fantasy books, but the main type I've read are by Terry Pratchett!
I think he's a fantastic author XD I just haven't really read many other author's books! I've read quite a few younger sc-fi/fantasy books when I was a bit younger... but now, apart from the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, I haven't read that large a range :O Still, I have (hopefully!) plenty more time to read more XD

I used to really like Terry Pratcheet but went off him as i think it got a bit drawn out and boring. Robert Rankin has written some supern books (Dance of the Voodoo Handbag, but the last 2 i read have been a bit disappointing).

Alan Dean Foster's Spellsinger series is supern read as well

Hello Yelf, and welcome to the Forum, I am inclined to agree that the works of Pratchet are rather more extensive than they perhaps need to be, but its good to see you are expanding your horizons into new territories of the imagination.
