Wink SF/Fantasy recommendation wanted.

Deathworld and Planet of the Damned

Can you recommend something that I would like to enjoy?
The book should so good - so I feel like I become a friend with hero/heroine?

Right now, I'm stuck on Twillight series and Miles Series
Reading again and again
I would love to hear about more books.

I have kindle, and have 50$ left gift balance- so something availabe on kindle will be good for me.
Also I have 30$ Micro? something in my fictionwise account, but can't find how to use them. I guess I need to apply a credit card for using them, right?

Something long with long series will be great, but I love short stories as well.


* something I enjoyed in English

Miles Vorcasigan Series
Sharing Knife Series
Curse of Shalion series.
- Lois McMaster Bujold

The deed of Paksenarion
- Elizabeth Moon

Jumper 1, 2
-Steven Gould(is it right?)

Anne of Green Gables and other Anne series,

The speed of dark - Elizabeth Moon
First half of Anne Rice's Vampire series

Every robot series and The Foundation of Issac Ismov
all of Rama Series
Garth Nix's Abhorsen trilogy

Connie Willis' Everything =D Dog speaking something and totally love- Doomsday book. cried.


* Something I think cool but I didn't enjoyed

The dragonriders of Pern (I totally fall in love with review and bought this .. but i didn't like it.)
last half of Anne Rice's Vampire series
The Conetticut yankee of King Arthur...s something. I'm not sure about conetticut's spell.
Princess of Mars's series.
Tarzan series.
Jonathan Stridell?' and Norell something. I just couldn't stick on this.
The Hitchhiker? of Galaxy ... bought everything but enjoyed only first one. and couldn't understand most of Jokes...


I love Urshula K. Reguin in Korean, but her novel is very hard to understand for me with English, I gave up her books..
I love Roger Zelazny and read everything in Korea, but can't focus on his English..too difficult for me too hard to follow.

Since English is not my primary language, and most of the writer's name is from my memory and Korean-translate version of my books so there will be many mistakes but I hope nobody angry for me!

Since Sci/fi and fantasy is not common genre in Korea, not much translation here, so I need to improve my English to understand more sci/fi

Thanks!!
