Random quote: "America is a nation of liars, and for that reason science fiction has a special claim to be our national literature, as the art form best adapted to telling the lies we like to hear and to pretend we believe." -- Thomas Disch (The Dreams our Stuff is Made Of)

Location: UK		Anyone found a decent 'best heroic fantasy' or 'best sword and sorcery' novel list? Or can you post a good list here?
This would be a good one to add to the Book Lists, as after just browsing through them I have noticed a distinct lack of heroic fantasy! Most of the fantasy is fairytale/supernatural.

I'm guessing its because this type of fantasy cannot often soar as high as some Science Fiction concepts but for many its a not so guilty pleasure!

I'm thinking Dragons of Autumn twilight and books in that vein?

Any thoughts on expanding to include for swords and sorcery bookies?

If none of our current awards or lists works for what you're after the David Gemmell Legend Award might be what you're looking for.  We'll be adding it to the site soon. If there is a S&S award or list that you like please let us know and we'll add it to our list of awards and lists for consideration.
