An Unfortunate Series of Events. He's writing a prequel series you know. About Lemony himself. |

Actually, right now I am rereading Lord of the Rings, which was inspired by you guys because this region has names and stuff from it, and I don't remember it, so i thought ' Maybe I should reread them!' |

Finished reading the Space Odyssey series. Great series, though the end was a bit underwhelming. |

Yeah, except I have no time so it has taken three weeks to get 100 pages. |

The Inheritance Cycle is a good series for fantasy fans. The film Eragon is based on the first book, which was also called Eragon. Don't be put off by the film though (it was awful, for those who didn't know) the books themselves are brilliant |

Good choice. I loved reading them growing up but have recently bought the final (at least book 4) and have really struggled with it. Just couldn't get into it and ended up not finishing it. Shame really as enjoyed the first 2 books a lot. Karputsk is a big fan of them though. |

I loved that series. I thought the ending was not as good as it should be, it built up to it with over 3000 pages and then it ended like that? Really? |

Read the first book, was underwhelmed. It's a GREAT BOOK - for a first by a 16-year old author. It is NOT an excellent book overall, IMO. Didn't pick up the following books. Currently reading "Apocalypse Cow" - which is also no great work of fiction, but it is funny.

I've been meaning to read House of Leaves, and pretty much anything by H.P. Lovecraft. Haven't got around to it though...

Two of my favourite authors are Saul Bellow and Philip Roth, I'm not sure if it says anything about me but they both happen to be old and Jewish. Of their books I'd recommend The Human Stain by Philip Roth, brilliantly, passionately written with an profound look at the witchhunting attitude of modern politically correct society, as well as having a brilliant twist midway through. My Saul Bellow favourite would have to be Ravelstein, which aside from being a fantastic literary hermeneutic romp, investigates the Classical Philsophical works of Plato, and has brilliantly, irreverently written characters, |

Oh, Jim Butcher is a fantastic Author. His one series, the Harry Dresden series is great. If you've seen the TV series than I'm sorry because that was utter rubbish. Harry Dresden is a Wizard, the only one in Chicago where he runs a Private Investigator's office. It starts out pretty mundane but throughout the series it gets much, much bigger! |

H.P. Lovecraft is good stuff. However, I do not suggest reading it late in the evening/at night. It's NOT Stephen King, but it is quite disturbing in it's own way - rather like certain episodes of the Twilight Zone.

Read the first book, halfway through the second. It's pretty good indeed, especially the way relativity is taken into consideration when imagining combat in space |

It's enjoyable. I like how it kinda criticizes capitalism in a non assuming way, that kinda leaves you wondering whether or not there was any criticism at all. Edited by Alancar, Jun 12 2013, 07:26 PM.

Paradise Lost by Milton is pretty good potatoes, as is The Aeneid by Virgil, though of course that varies from translation to translation. (Though if you can read it in the Latin-do so.)
