Have you read the one where some children playing a field find a talking sword which magically imbues their pet cat with the ability to talk, they all then travel back through time to rescue a FTL ship from the scantily clad viking zombie pirates, and encounter a mysterious brooding vampire who falls in love with Mary Sue. Returning to the present they have learned enough to defeat the evil Democrats who were hiding the last of the scantily clad zombie pirates and feeding innocent americains to the evil scantily clad zombie pirate cannibals. Then the vampire they met earlier resurfaces and reveals he is really Cain and the end of the world is nigh but Mary Sue can save all by ending his torment and purging the world of his sin......

I have a soft spot for some not-so-great sci-fi and fantasy because I remember reading it and really enjoying it the first time, or because one character is really endearing and I really care about him/her (*cough* TWILIGHT). @Anon So kids playing in a field and discovering a talking sword is right out! @Harrison I know!

Although it falls into so many cliche categories, I still greatly enjoy Robert Asprin's Myth series. Reading fantasy books is a guilty pleasure.
