I forgot all about it but my teacher said I needed to get any novel and I had to read it... So... I need help finding a good book. I was thinking about getting The Golden Bough but after reading the names of the chapters it kind of made me not want to read it because I'm really religious and it looked really against it. I'm looking for something with a blend of fantasy and drama and maybe something sexual. Any recommendations?

Not to link Amazon.com but figured was best way....I read this book a few years ago. It a good read, it lacks your sexuality request but its based on comics, heroes, and desire to follow your dreams.
Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay!
Very good read, it had some mild slow spots but all in all I liked it.

Well, C.S. Lewis wrote a really good fantasy book that does not get the exposure it deserves. I think it was actually the last novel he ever written. The book is called, "Till We Have Faces" It is basically a retelling of a classical Greek mythology of Cupid and Psyche through the sister-in-law's point of view. It's really a deep book that can be interpreted on many levels. If you are not familiar with the myth, there's a little author's note at the end that retells the original story (or you can look it up on Wikipedia).

Older Stephen King novel: Eyes of the Dragon. It's a great blend of Fantasy and Horror. I really enjoyed it.

Anything else I can think of is part of a larger series. I rather enjoyed the "Wheel of Time" series (Robert Jordan, still waiting on the final installment to be released. "Eye of the World" is the first book. Tolkein is always a good read, but is kind of overdone and CAN prove to be a difficult read. Tolkein's writing style is very...factual would be the best word, I guess. Plus, your teacher could possibly think you "cheated" by watching the movie. There's others also I could think of, but I didn't sleep a lot last night.

I always enjoyed the classics like Dracula and Frankenstein. There's definately a touch of fantasy mixed with reality in each. Frankenstein also does a great job of giving the reader a chance to feel how the monster does, and see through it's eyes.
But this may not be what you're looking for. :)
