Re: great books thread

the whole Dragon Lance series is the best. The drizzt series is also awesome. Both are far superior to more popular books (e.g lord of the rings, harry potter, eragon)

Re: great books thread

They're not high fantasy, but I've enjoyed the Thursday Next and Nursery Crimes books by Jasper Fforde. I'd say they're worth checking out.

Re: great books thread

i dont understand what everyone sees in the lord of the rings i found that they just crapped on way too much those books....

I like harry potter always good for an easy read although the cover on this new book just looks.....Gay almost enough incentive not to buy it.

I liked Memnoch the Devil. I think that its one you would probably enjoy Josh although there is sort of a gross part towards the end involving that certain time of the month...

I also liked Hearts in Atlantis and The Dark Tower(still on the 7th one big ass series)

Re: great books thread

My advice: history books. Go to an actual library and find books that are a little older and pick your favorite topic. Read them now, because in 20 years the history you read is likely not to be the same.
