Some really good books here.

I haven't checked out some of the heavier reading that was posted.

Swish, Dune is worth the time investment. However, as much as I love the books its hard to recommend them past the second one. I never had an amiga, was the game any good?

1. The hobbit
2. The fellowship of the ring, two towers, and return of the king
3. Wheel of time by Robert Jordan (god i have read each book at least 10 times)
4. Raymond Fiest Magician series and all the rest.


I know my next item is very similar to 1 and 2 above but i have always enjoyed

5. The iron Tower Triology by Dennis L. McKierman

Removed link due it going to amazon sales site will try to get image of the books up later.

It's a great fantasy/scifi read based around advanced VR and some magic bullshit. If you're into that kinda thing.

2nd this, can't wait for the series to be complete

Plus all the other cosmere series and the reckoners series

So many good series by brandon going on, even the short novella types like legion are good

[Madbad]

Seems like a lot of you guys are stuck on series.

I really loved the Dark Tower series by Stephen King, especially the first three before SK cleaned up his act.

Fantasy:

http://i.imgur.com/2qLCTIu.jpg (http://www.amazon.com/Jhereg-Steven-Brust/dp/0441385540)

have you read them all? have you read the one that just came out in october (Hawk)


also, read "The Phoenix Guards"/"500 Years After"/"The Paths of the Dead"/"The Lord of Castle Black"/"Sethra Lavode"
(this is the events leading up to Adron's Disaster, the disaster itself, the interregnum, and Zerika emerging from the paths of the dead with the orb. Mario Greymyst, a young stupid Morrolan, a young bratty Aliera, and omg Pel)

[11bangbang]

here is the first book in the rift war saga,the entire saga is great. by far the best series of books I've ever read.

i feel like he just didnt give a shit about the ending by the time he got there. it felt cheap to me.

The first book was the only decent one in that series.

I had to struggle and force myself to finish that series

It was seriously boring and painful to read, not sure why its so hyped

[PDX0621]

I agree. First couple books were some of my favorite, the rest felt like work to finish.

Love the books as i said 8) always found it humorous that the characters and basic story line came out of his role playing sessions. I would guess a lot of our favorite fantasy sci fi books came out of people role playing and or board games.

Traveller RPG and DnD RPG probably had a big influenced on a lot authors from the 1970 till today.

I have read all of them except the most recent one. I absolutely love Stephen Brust.

I agree completely. It's not the first time that Stephen King has coped out on his endings. Remember 'It'? WTF giant space turtle?

I love the book 'The Talisman' by Stephen King and Peter Straub coincidentally. The follow up 'Black House' isn't too shabby either.
