puromaniac Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Game of Thrones The Chronicals of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever by Steven Donaldson one of the best fantasies trilogies I've ever read. Trilogy? You either have a lot more fun or work ahead of you with Thomas Covenant! I read it perhaps more than a year ago, but the "Three Day Road" by Joseph Boyden was an amazing read about two Canadian Cree brothers in WWI.

Quint Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 The Earthsea series by Ursula Le Guin is pretty good fantasy........ Read this years ago, I agree was pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puromaniac Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Not sure what that means lol It simply means he wrote a lot more books about Thomas Covenant. I've never run across a writer with his range of vocabulary and love of words I have to look up, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as Lord of the Rings@ken gargett enjoy Pillars of the Earth also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatball41 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I know it's a movie now and I haven't seen it but if you like american history/survival stories, Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand is really good. Vivid WW2 true story, she also wrote Seabiscuit about the famous KY derby horse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBigDog Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Check out Eckhart Tolle's book, A new earth. A great read. He has an amazing background and has come a long way in his personal transformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.T Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Just finished reading the War That Ended Peace. Written by Margaret Macmillan. It's about the causes leading up to WW1 and shows absolutely nothing has changed since then. E I read this and loved it. I'm a history buff and it is incredible to see that what we are seeing today in the Middle East had its roots and origins in the aftermath and decisions that were taken after WW1 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oljud Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 The New York Triology by Paul Auster. Read it several times, always amazed. //M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shlomo Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Halfway through Joe Abercrombie's first book of the first law trilogy, The Blade Itself. Amazing. There is wonderful character depth and development, the creation of the world is not overdone, not too much magic, but just the right amount, and the violence....the violence is incredibly detailed and vivid. Read The Heroes, Best Served Cold and a few of his others already. He is really a great storyteller. Wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlharp Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I gave been digging Larry Correia's work over the last year or so. Monster Hunter International is great. JL Bourne's Day by Day Armegeddon series is good as well. I need to read more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthson Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 The Count of Monte Cristo. Was expecting a boring, drab read, which is what you usually get from mid 1800s lit. Instead, I've been riveted from the beginning and it's a real page-turner (all 1200 of them!) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckSARTech Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Been doing some very heavy reading lately: Charlotte's Web, Mr. Popper's Penguins. LOL. Opposed to that, my recent reading (work-related, but not necessarily "required reading", though that may be up for debate): - "On Killing" - "The Taliban Don't Wave" - "Outside the Wire" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onelove Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Just got through The Emperor Of Scent by Chandler Burr. Bought it when it first came out around ten years ago and this was the second reading, still great. Anyone else read this? Bueller? Bueller?

Quickly jumped into the second book of the trilogy, Before They Are Hanged. Only a very little bit into it, and I find it lacking some of the excellence from the first. Still enjoyable though.
