The Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin. Easily the best Fantasy novels ever published. Yes, better than Tolkein.

WICKED. This is totally spot-on. Song of Ice and Fire is awesome, but I'm just about out of patience for Dance with Dragons! It's been like two or three years since Feast for Crows, and I'm gettin' pissed.

I'm currently reading Brave New World for probably the fifth time. What an amazing book. Definitely my favorite.

G.R.R. Martin has a couple of chapters posted on his website. It has been quite a wait but I'm sure it will be worth it.

I so want to have a G.R. R Martin marathon when all the books are written. Start from book 1 and read it all. Should take an extreme amount of time

He's the best selling living British author, or was until Harry Potter racked up...

If I may quibble: I always thought he was the most shoplifted author in britain.
Maybe he was both.

I like TP a lot, and have read many of his books, but he always makes me think of fat men with long hair and real ale t-shirts tucked into combat trousers, sitting in student unions and snorting with laughter at jokes about IP protocols.

There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't

Yep.

I threw away my combat trousers.

You sit in Student Unions in your Y-Fronts?

has any1 read the rangers apprentice series or the percy jackson and the olympians series?

Only on Dress Down Fridays.
Obviously.

I just finished reading The Angel of Darkness by Caleb Carr, and its probably one of the five best books I've ever read. Mighty depressing, but still fantastic. He also wrote The Alienist. The Angel of Darkness is somewhat of a sequel in that the same characters are in both books, but you can read them separately without missing anything. Also, a few weeks ago I read the new Bernard Cornwell book, Sword Song. top notch as usual. Now begins my impatient wait for the next Cornwell book.

anybody here read monster island or monster planet by david wellington theyre pretty bad ass

i just recently finished:

The Exorcist - William Peter Blatty (you've prolly heard of the movie)
&
Out - Natsuo Kirino (vigilante justice crime novel set in Tokyo)

Anything by Anne Mcaffrey or Mercedes Lackey

Thread needs a good bump.

Niall Griffiths - Runt
An enjoyable book that has a sex scene.

Kurt Vonnegut - Slaughterhouse 5
I liked it.

even tho james frey is a fraud bright shiny morning is nasty so it cormac mccarthy's THE ROAD

Renegades of Pern wasn't that good.
