The Curse of Chalion
Paladin of Souls
The Halloweed Hunt
All three are by Lois Bujold and I think at least one of them has won the Hugo award for fantasy. I strongly recomend them

I've listened to two Iron Druid books. They are fun and the dog character is great.

No doubt I found myself literally laughing out loud a few times when reading those. And I did get the first one as an audio book just to see how to pronounce most of those names and places and it was excellent.

I would also second the Dark Tower Series, Dumas and anything by Huxley is great.

I ordered The Curse of Chalion i'll give it a try next week.

Steal this book
1984
Anarchist cook book
Dune
Silence of the lambs
Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
Get in the van!
Swan Song
Cabal
Fear and loathing in Las Vegas
One flew over the cuckoos nest

i think HHGTTG is over rated, personally. His off topic tangents about whales aren't as funny as he thinks he is.

However you get cool points for being a rollins fan.

Currently reading the christopher pike "the last vampire" series. I read it when i was what, 10? and was feeling nostalgic. I find it cheesy and very mary sue nowadays, though. I also couldn't stand interview when i reread it, either.

I like long series:
Malazan Book of the Fallen - Steven Erikson
The Belgariad + The Mallorean - David Eddings
Outlander - Diana Gabaldon
Anything and everything by Stephen R. Donaldson, ever.

I just finished 'Ready Player One.' If you're a fan of 80s video games and pop culture I think you'll enjoy it. It's about a video game creator who wills his fortune to anyone who beats a game he's created. It's set in the future.

Take a Thief by Mercedes Lackey. An easy and very interesting read. A real page turner

I totally love Mercedes Lackey. She is just wonderful when it comes to great fantasy.

If you liked Take a Thief try The Last Herald Mage Trilogy

Magic's Pawn (1989)
Magic's Promise (1990)
Magic's Price (1990)

It's so good.

Heh. There was a great Community episode that was kind of like that. They turned the entire cast into a 2D Mario-type adventure game. I'm not sure what's going to happen with the tv show, but every once in a while they hit one out of the ballpark.

Just finished reading The Power of Habit - Charles Duhigg and am currently starting on Thinking Fast & Slow - Daniel Kahneman.

I got through the Hunger Games Trilogy despite losing interest about halfway through the last book. I finished the five Game of Thrones books (A Song About Ice and Fire) in about the same time, about 3-4 weeks. It was $25 for the set and weirdly addictive in a way that Hunger Games wasn't.

I've been reading them on a Kobo Touch. The Kindle has it's own proprietary format not used by other e-book readers, so I tend to avoid Kindle content unless it's not available anywhere else. I am excited about rumours that Kindle will be coming out with a colour e-ink reader later this year. I've got an iPad for reading also, but you can't beat the battery life of an e-Ink reader.

I am currently reading "The Polseen War:A Hymn Before Battle" by John Ringo and it is really good. I had my doubts about it but once I started reading I can strongly recomend it to people who are into military Sci Fi
