After finishing Ender's Game again, I'm reading some H.P. Lovecraft. I'm looking to start something else though.

[Eurypterid]

I declared February to be 'classics' month for me, so I'm reading Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. Got a late start (month was half over before I got around to starting my classics), so classics 'month' will run into March as well...

Hundreds of Years to Reform a Rake by Laurie Brown

It's a little trasy romance novel set in Regency England time

Molloy by Samuel Beckett,

essentially the ramblings of an old crippled hobo who has no love for the world and no clue what's going on.

very entertaining.

Is it as absurd as Beckett's Endgame? It's probably the most absurd piece of literature I've read so far.

The Forever War by Joe Haldeman.

Wanted to get one more book in before A Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss finally comes out next week.

it's completely different, not abstract at all, very real, and very immediate,
i'm not a fan of beckett's plays, but this is a different story altogether,
the man was a seriously good writer, i think he well deserves his stature

What are some good fantasy books? Other than A Song of Ice + Fire, Harry Potter, and The Dresden Files, already read them

[MajorStranger]

Donjon de Naheulbeuk. It's a french Fantasy-parody book that parody the DnD style. I recommend for everyone with good base in french.

[Tehnazzy]

The Darwin awards.



Yes.

OK, good to know. Maybe I'll try it some day. Thanks for the recommendation!

I just finished Guy Vanderhaeghe's "The Last Crossing," and it was very good. It takes place late-19th century in parts of United States and Canada, and also a few scenes in England; and if anyone's taste in literature revolves around brotherhood, murder, corrupted lawmen, vigilantism, rape, redemption, and small-pox epidemics, then I recommend it.

I just finished "The Lies of Locke Lamora" by Scott Lynch, great fantasy novel.
And "The Wise Man's Fear" by Patrick Rothfuss will be released March 1st. So I guess I'll be reading that.

[FreezaSama]

Reading Gears of War: Anvil Gate by Karen Traviss.

I will be reading A Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss very soon.

Me too! Picked up the Gollancz version with fwd by Adam Roberts and notes by the author at Foyles last week because I had a coupo.  Also purchased  Limbo by Bernard Wolfe as it's an import and I've never heard of it thought I'd give it a go.

Half way through FW at the moment.

Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut

It is so very, very good.

[ColaQueen]

@crusadeonacid a great book, I went through a KV phase in the early nineties, he's one of my all time fave writers.

[A5ko]

My favourite book(s) by far are from Joe Abercrombie.

If you like Fantasy you MUST read these.

The First Law Triology
Book 1 - The Blade Itself
Book 2 - Before They Are Hanged
Book 3 - Last Argument of Kings

He also released Best Served Cold and most recently Heroes

I cannot stress how awesome these books are, but before you go buying them for your kids... don't. They are a dark (especially Best Served Cold), gritty and very violent.

** I just noticed some others have read these, so I hope they can vouch for Joe as a writer. Plus who couldn't love the characters.
