It's time for some book recommendations!

[Korea]

I just realized that I haven't read a fantasy book in a long time and I have no idea what to try. So, give me some recommendations. Authors I've liked include: Brandon Sanderson, Robin Hobb, George R. R. Martin, Terry Goodkind

[Barrister]

You have read Tolkein, right?

I´ve liked George R. R. Martin

Yeah I hear there is a lot of that going around. 

[Malthus]

Try Abercrombie. I really liked his stuff for engaging fantasy:

He delights in totally unlovable heroes. One of the leading characters is a bitter, crippled professional torturer - and he's the good guy. 

[Viking]

Njal's saga. This is what Tolkien was reading when got the idea for the idea of Fantasy at all.

Have you read Raymond Feist?

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.

Good books, good author. Try his books. I suggest start with Magician's Apprentice, the first in a series. Good and fast reads. Then he has other books based in the same fantasy world, different characters or spin offs of some main characters.

I also liked this one a lot:

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.

Try Glen Cook, the Black Company series.  Now in convenient collected form, first volume is here.

Oh man, I hated the 1/3rd of that book I made it through.

Croaker made me want to commit suicide.

[Ed Anger]

The Black Company may be too much of a downer for Korea. The Dread Empire books too.

At least there are no fucking elves.

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