Books similar to HP

Actually the Dark Tower isn't in the horror genre. It's more about a quest or mission, somewhat similar to Lord of the Rings, but with a different setting.

I am so with Mint, I'm a hider-under-the bedder! Hee-hee, what fabulous grammar i got. The David Eddings series is AWESOME, and so is Artemis Fowl. Those books are hilarious! And anything Tolkein is totally beyond my ability to praise. LOTR ROCKS!!!!! So...I was also hoping for s'more book reccomendations, my problem is I just hate all this s*x and gore in what would otherwise be a perfectly good book. I had to stop reading the Wheel of Time books and Mercedes Lackey and even some David Eddings 'cause of that. Grrr...Please help! Any good stories that won't make me gross out (while hiding under my bed -- imagine what a disaster that would be!)
