My good book listFollow

The Legacy of Gird one was a good read and reminded me more of the first Paksenarrion novel. More stuff about military life and large scale conflicts as opposed to three guys in a dungeon type stuff. Which was what I liked about the first Paks novel when she joins the mercenary corp and less about the middle movel where it reads like a standard Forgotten Realms potboiler. The third was a decent mixture of the two.

The follow up Gird book wasn't worth reading though.

And, yes, I bought some of Moon's science fiction and never finished a one of them.

Terry Brooks: Word and the Void series. I am an avid Brooks fan and I think these are his best yet.

Neil Gaiman: American Gods. Not much to say but this book is probably my favorite in my collection.

Kevin Anderson and Brian Herbert: Prelude to Dune, Legends of Dune.

J.K. Rowling: Harry Potter. When you get past the media hype, you have a wonderfully written series that keeps you wanting more.

I've seen alot of familiar, and some not so familiar titles/authors listed here. But there's one author I havent seen listed here that I have found particularly engrossing, Mercedes Lackey. Her Valdemar books are(from my experience) really good reads. Her writing style reminds me of Anne McCaffrey in how she deals with human interactions in a way that just sucks you in. I've read literally thousands of books in my 28 years, but Scifi/Fantasy remains by far my favorite. Jordan, Tolkien, Anne McCaffrey, Weis/Hickman, Card, Asimov, Brooks, the list goes on. L. Ron Hubbard had a REALLY excellent book in Battlefield earth(which they of course butchered all to hell in the movie), but I read one of his Mission: Earth books when I was 15, and found it disturbing as hell(this from someone who was obsessed with King, and Koontz novels at the time). The few novels King writes that border into the fantasy realm were pretty good, like Talisman, Black House, The Eyes of the Dragon, and The one Dark Tower book I've managed to read. Basically anything that stimulates the imagination, be it a book, comic, or game, and I'm hooked!

Richard Matheson's "I am Legend" > you all.

Too bad about Will Smith though.

Most of the stuff by David Gemmell. Sure he may have liked to reuse the same basic plot theme over and over again, but ***** it :D its like reading one great book, with diffrent characters and locations each time.
