What else are you reading, lately?

[Peter Ahlstrom]

I do agree that it will only get worse later, especially if it's not dealt with now as it keeps coming up. The mods that have posted in this thread don't sound concerned though.

Slackers. They should rule with an iron fist; absolute authority. They could learn a little from the Lord Ruler. Hey...wait a minute. Maybe they are, allowing us to rebel so that we weed each other out and get it out of our system. Sneaky.

When I first became a member of this site I wrote Brandon an E-mail about what authors he enjoyed reading and what authors where role models for him when he was becoming a writer. He responded with a this list

>> Robert Jordan (of course)
>> David Eddings (I don't think he holds up as well as Robert Jordan
>> does,
>> but man can he write fun characters.)
>> R.A. Salvatore. (Nobody else can write action sequences quite
>> like him.)
>> Tad Williams (The only one I know who approaches Robert Jordan's
>> ability
>> to write grand-scale books. He's not quite as epic as Jordan, but
>> is an
>> excellent writer.)
>> Melanie Rawn (I love her magic systems.)
>> Barbara Hambly (Her fantasy book Dragonsbane is what made me want
>> to be
>> a writer.)
>>
>> These days, I've been reading the following:
>> Terry Pratchett. (Brilliant, just brilliant.)
>> Patrick Rothfuss. (Another newcomer like me. He only has one
>> book out,
>> but it's great.)

Once that is posted (i'll get to it tonight i hope), we should get a stick thread in THIS forum stating "Book recommendations/discussions for those who like Brandon's novels" or something like that.  locked topic with a brief lowdown on what to expect by clicking on the link.  this way, both of our ideas are accomplished - people see that there are indeed Brandon specific fan recommendations somewhere here (like i think is essential), and they see more of the forums and hopefully get more involved (like you think is essential).

I will check for the thread you create in the books forum in the morning (or later tonight--don't know if I'll be on the computer later or not), and I'd be happy to create a linking, locked post in this section doing what you asked.

Ookla's right that I'm not terribly concerned about this particular thread, but I'm certainly happy to accommodate those who are when presented with a workable, easy solution such as has been proposed.

the chronicles of the dread empire-by glenn cook is pretty good
so is the ork king- by r.a. salvastone
also if your in to that the chronicle of the noble dead-by ?

[GreenMonsta]

The Orc King is good?

I loved Salvatore for a long time but after reading so many of his books he kind of lost me in some of them. I would love to see if this one is any good.

I've recently discovered I have no patience with mediocre fantasy novels since I finished HoA.  I've tried to read several and gave up in disgust.  I've ended up reading serious histories and things like that.  I used to be able to enjoy a brain-dead book, just for the amusment factor, but I can't any more.
