I am reading this book now and I keep scolding myself.
"Why haven't you read this years ago?!" The book is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.
its neat seeing one of Robert Jordan's inspirations too
a 'couple' of books i've read woul d highly reccomend........
The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. a fantasy series that is very different than any other fantasy books i've ever read. The plot is outrageously deep, many say too intricate, and awesome. You feel like you know every character and actually make you gasp when things happen. I also love the way the two sexes intertwine!
The Ender Series by Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game is great and I think anybody with any intelligence will feel a kinship with Ender as he struggles with everything. I liked
The Speaker For the Dead, and
Xenocide, and
Children of the Mind even better. the philosophy is beautiful and the ethical debates between species of creatures had my dumbfounded.
the
Dune series. I'm just now reading
Dune by Frank Herbert and am simply loving it.
I am enjoying
His Dark Materials by Philip Paulman thanks to Cynthetiq.
One book I'd
highly reccomend to anybody who likes to see how an event can defer completely from one person to the next is
An Instance of the Fingerpost by Ian Pears. Just imagine reading about a murder and a witch hunt through four different people's POV. it is
awesome.
The Dark Elf Trilogy by RA Salvotre is by no means deep or really philosophil, but amazing. It is three books about Drizzt D'Urden, a dark elf born in the Forgotten Realms (Dungeons & Dragons began here) that is totally different from every other elf of his race - he is
good. he never gives into the evil side and becomes everyone's arch enemy. I liked this so much, cuz he fought hardhardhard for everything important to him, no matter the pain. A great series!
That's all for now, though I have many others!
