It's time for some book recommendations!

[Korea]

I also liked this one a lot:

http://www.amazon.ca/Kingkiller-Chronicle-Day-Name-Wind/dp/0756404746/ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_b

That one is truly awesome, but the motherfucker, after claiming that "all the books are written," has yet to release book 2, 2 and a half years later.

He is a less fat Martin.

Try Glen Cook, the Black Company series.  Now in convenient collected form, first volume is here.
http://www.amazon.com/Chronicles-Black-Company-Glen-Cook/dp/0765319233/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257541164&sr=8-2

I tried to read that one a couple of months ago but I could not get into it at all. I hated his writing style. It was so choppy and there was now flow.

[Korea]

Authors I've liked include:  Robin Hobb, Terry Goodkind

Go to local bookstore. Go to sci/fi fantasy section. Pick random book with elves or dragons on cover. There's a 95% chance this book is better than Goodkind. 

No kidding. 


I recommend the Kildar books by John Ringo.  You'll love them.

Military sci fi?

[Korea]

Try L.E. Modesitt, Jr, he had some good books. The Corean Chronicles are interesting.

I read the first couple of pages and it seemed pretty good. I think I'll give them a try. Thanks.

Jesus H Christ, you goofy ass broad.  I told you: Clive Barker.  Show some fucking semblance of taste already.

Try something from Clive Barker.

His books sound gross and scary. 

[Korea]

Once again, The Prince of Nothing trilogy by Scott Bakker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Nothing).  Though I think ID would enjoy it more than you dear.



G.

Why? It seems good.

[grumbler]

Try finding a copy of L. Sprague DeCamp's The Dragon of the Ishtar Gate for a nice "historical" romp absolutely indistinguishable from a fantasy romp, and then his Lest darkness Fall for an alt-his fantasy that really and truly does not suck.  Both are older books, so you may need to go used, but both are fabulous classics of their genres, and should appeal to any reader of fantasy.

Fuck, sometimes you people are hopeless.
Go read some fucking Harry nigger Potter then.

[Korea]

For a wildcard: I'm currently loving Cornwell's Saxon books.
They're historic fiction, not fantasy, but they read just like they're from a hard fantasy setting. Really, really good stuff.

Wow, it actually seems really interesting to me. I will definitely be checking it out.

I didn't say it sounded bad! I was actually considering checking it out until a review said you must have a strong stomach to get through the books.

Lest Darkness Fall is excellent.
