Summer is usually a time when I look around for a good novel, and I would be interested to know what sorts of fiction DA:O players like.

Hmm, fiction only? 
Been reading Drew Karpyshyns Darth Bane trilogy (star wars) lately, I quite enjoyed them actually.

Thats the only fiction I've read lately, otherwise its all been philosophy and such lately.

I haven't read any book since the first months of 2009... I simply am not a fan, but if you are interested, the last thing I was forced to read was "il Visconte dimezzato", written by... err... Calvino? I believe so, yes.



Note the "forced"... if not forced, then the last thing was a documentary book about the afterlife, written from an Italian journalist, Roberto Giacobbo. Apart from that, The Capital from Marx is a fine read.

Did you like the book?  Calvino's work is peculiar.  I've liked what I've read.

I'm a big fan of the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher (sort of supernatural mystery books set in modern Chicago), so I just finished the latest book in that, Changes. Read it in one sitting, my neck is killing me...Protip: never bend your neck into the same position for three hours.

I have been reading Dan Browns the lost symbol. So far it seems good. If you haven't ever read any of Dan Browns novels I would recommend reading them, he's a master when it comes to the thriller genre.

Isn't there a TV show or movie based on these?  I thought I saw it on Netflix.

Syfy did produce a TV show for awhile. At least I think it was Syfy. Either way it was canceled.

I haven't read fiction in a long while now. I've been reading biographies and psychology books lately. The last fiction novel I finished was Mad Maria by Marcio Souza. It's a quasi historical novel about the construction of a Brazilian railway and the intrigues surrounding it. It was a good novel but not a story I would recommend to most readers.

I started reading The Legend of Drizzt not that long ago, I've only read through the first 4 so far though.

[Kordras]

Re-reading the A Song of Ice and Fire series again. Currently on 'A Storm of Swords'.

[Blackveldt]

I love reading fantasy, though I am geared more toward science-fiction at the moment. Currently reading Kim Stanley Robinson's Galileo's Dreams. It's pretty fascinating thus far.

Actually I did, if we consider it was a forced read (high school stuff, that now is thanks to God, in the past). It's a story of double personality, although this double personality comes from 2 different yet same persons. SPOILERS : a man gets cut in two and then gets revived. One half is good, the other one is evil. If we consider in a certain way, and since this is a gaming forum, I could say it's an interesting read in a role-playing perspective.

Earlier the Dresden Files got a mention. +40.



Great series.

[Tirigon]

I mostly read fantasy and sometimes, but rather rarely, Science-Fiction.



Atm I´m reading some classics, though, right now it´s Frankenstein´s turn.
