Favorite Books?

No, black prism is brent weeks. His only other books are the NightAngel trilogy. NightAngel (hence the user name) is one of the best series i have ever read... and i have read a sh*t ton of stuff

Ahhh right. I knew I recognised the name from somewhere. I still need to read the Night Angel books too :p

My to-read list is pretty massive right now.... Shouldn't have bought a kindle :p

Been wanting one, although the sony e reader seems to have the most functionality. Anyways i just use my phone, works good enough i suppose. And you should bump NA up on your list, i promise you won't regret it, lol.
Now if we only had our own sub-forum to discuss in greater detail all these books:rolleyes:

.I tried The Wheel of Time and actually made it through quite a few of them but I never finished. Can't recall why...

I have an idea. It goes: "Egwene tugged her braid," "Nynaeve crossed her arms under her breasts," and "____ smoothed her skirt." Repeat--tug braid--this about--smooth skirt--fifty times a chapter--cross arms--and you've got--tug braid--Waste of--tug braid--Time. I'm surprised anyone can get through that sludge without throwing up or consigning the book to the nearest fire.

A book subforum would be nice. So would a musician forum.

Bob Maxey

Um... this is our book sub-forum and music sub-forum is probably all you'll see. Although you never know, create a thread in the suggestions section and garner some support. Thats how I (with roze's help) got enough people to chime in and make this happen.

Favourite series that I own:
Song of Ice and Fire - by George R. R. Martin - septology - 4th book out:
Medival fantasy and has been adapted by HBO. Series a bit more on the mature side and deals with a lot of throne intrigues and exploits. It's quite 'graphic' with the fightings (love it) and there are a bit of sex, incest and rape througout the series. One thing I'd caution is that Martin is very slow with his works :(

Don't know if you've heard about this already Roze:
George R.R. Martin's A Dance with Dragons is really almost done!

I love zombies. I love Jedis. This sounds like a formula for awesomeness!

Is Death Troopers any good?

Haven't got around to reading it yet, just tried reading Crosscurrent and had to stop. Its from an author that i am unfamiliar with and he didn't do much to draw me in. (to be fair i was at work and only got 10 pages into it) First time i ever did that with a Star Wars book.
Death Troopers sounded like a really good story, i own it so will be reading it shortly.

Thanks Xyro, but this is nothing more than another rumour. I don't take the words of the editors as concrete fact. GRRM has said nothing about the book being completed on his blog. A couple more chapters mean very little as it could take him up to a year to finish it, lol. He is known to be a perfectionist and he has redone a whole book when it was closed to completion. Call me skeptical, but I won't believe it until I have the book in my hand. At this point in the fandom, I won't be reading any of his work until he's completed the series.

Sounds like the up and coming Patrick Rothfuss, :rolleyes:

Old school favorites:
David Eddings; Belgariad, Mallorean, The Elenium, The Tamuli
Piers Anthony; Loved Xanth growing up and all 30 (last i checked, though i've only read 25 of them) hold a special place in my heart. First 12 or so are great for all ages but increasingly kid oriented imo nowadays
Hitchhikers Guide - Douglas 'Da Man' Adams, lol

Sorry, I didn't really read past the first few lines of the article :p

I guess I should hold off on starting that series then.
