    I'm Utterly Disgusted at the present situation of events. The injustice that has taken place and the way things have gotten out of hand by both parts. But I'm more disgusted at the way that things are being handled.

    I am a big Frank Herbert fan, as well as a fan of Orson Scott Card, I love the Ender's Game series.

    Lately I haven't had much time for reading things that aren't related to school. My prof's at college keep me on my toes.

    I have branched out a little bit, though other than my favorites, and am always willing to try new books, and series.

    I'm a big fantasy fan. I enjoy Sci-fi and a ecclectic mix of other genres too.

    If I can recommend something for you...
    The Quintaglio Ascension trilogy by Robert J Sawyer.
    1) Far-Seer
    2) Fossil Hunter
    3) Foreigner

    I have not read such amazing world-building since Tolkien.
    If your a fantasy or sci-fi fan at all, I would call it a "must read"
    They are by far the best sci-fi/fantasy books I have EVER read!

    I almost have the whole tolkien collection. Way before they made the movies by the way. If you want a world as complex as middle earth read the mar's trilogy. Futuristic and more real. But its so well written you keep asking for more. Its 3 books of pure heaven.

    I have read the mar's trilogy, excellent books.
    I also had all of Tolkien read well before the movies were ever seriously considered to even be produced. I probably had about 5-6 read-thru's of the 4 books (Hobbit-RotK) under my belt by the time the movies were announced. I got that count up to about a dozen before actual release.

    I read LOTR back in 1978 when I had just turned the tender age of 8 and it had a particular bearing on my futre genre preference. Other influential books were Raymon E. Feists Magician which would be more mainstream of modern writers but highly entertaining and I still buy everything he publishes. I was also a big fan of David Gemmel whose book altho being uncomplicated and sometimes fomulaic were always a good read.

    Pity Robert Jordan went and died on us before he finished the wheel of time series but at least he picked the author to run with the ball and I'm currently reading the first of the trilogy that will complete the saga a few decades after it began.

    Oh yeah any other terry pratchett fans out there?

    I love Jordan books. Loved his influence in the continuation of the connan the barbarian series. I still consider his the Originals from Robert E Howard the best.

    I think I've landed in Nerd World, never mind Disc World.

    Seriously though, if we're going down the road of Sci-Fi related / sub-related, then I would highly recommend anything by Huxley. Keen... I know.

    Some people have a hard time getting past "Gardens of the moon" the 1st one but after that and they take on board the unusual concepts and writing style which can swing wildly from blunt humour to prose, everybody that I have recommended them to has become a diehard fan.

    Very original in a genre where most simply rehash past works of better writers.
    I have the first 2 books, but have not started them yet. I am sick of starting a series before they are finished. Once I start, I have to have them all lined up or I have to start all over whenever a new book comes out. Rereading Wheel of Time again because I 'thought' the last book was coming out, instead they are making the 'final' book into 3.
