Up to around 2008 I had read almost every DnD and Drizzt books that R.A. Salvatore had written. Legacy of the Drow, Hunter's Blade's Trilogy, Icewind Dale Trilogy, Dark Elf Trilogy. Epics about an emo ass dark elf who loves redheads.the drizzt books are entertaining as fuck bro. I used to lie when people would ask what they were about though. No way was I telling them
:goty2
Also another series that is pretty fucking awesome full stop up to a certain point. It was supposed to be the chosen one, the successor to Lord of the Rings, the GOAT. Instead it bungled everything after the 5th book and became shit. But you could theoretically also read that up till the 3rd or 4th book and eat good.The Lost of epic modern fantasy prose.
That one still gets me deep in my chest. Like that girl you used to sit next to in AP English and was fine as hell but in college she did a lot of blow and chicken fingers and she hasn't been the same since. RIP in peace.
I didnt watch Lost because it looked dumb af but i'd say thats a pretty accurate comparison. Wheel of Time was supposed to be that nicca. Instead he bungled it, and then died before he could bring it back. Wheel of Time is like the Lupe Fiasco of books.I was gonna say Jay Elec, but Wheel of Time actually delivered initially.

Not that they are mediocre, but I like Anne Rice novels. Yes, I realize this is problematic
vampire fiction is for girls and homos tbfbut when lestat and louis do their immortal homoerotic but not really* dance across the centuries :uguu
So is Malazan good, then? I've been pitched these over and over again.I've heard that the first book is a major slog, but once you get into the rhythm of the narrative and the characters come into focus shit turns up to (http://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/ooh.png) tier.

The last three books of the Dark Tower series are absolute shit. Please don't try to defend them.Well I guess I'll give this a miss then
Lauren Conrad's L.A. Candy series.

Must be more abrahamic #dualities at play here I'm missing out on.
PD went off the internet for like a fucking month to avoid spoilers to a shitty kids series.
for cheap fiction thrills I really like Charles Stross' Laundry files.
Hackers x Cthulhu x James Bond x British

Epics about an emo ass dark elf who loves redheads.Several friends recommended Drizzt stuff to me before, and I couldn't think of anything more lame than reading something that had fallen off the Dragonlance wagon. Then, this month, a collection of Drizzt stories went up available for free on Audible, and I'd been hankering for something generic and full of swords, and goddamn it if I'm not hooked now. Really fun, well-paced, and actually approaches some interesting moral, class, and race issues with a surprising amount of awareness.

I have a big neckbeard hankering for these even if the last few installments have been subpar af. The dresden files. Shit started off as like a goofy episodic wizard film noir mystery affair and then turned into a more fleshed out overarching plot. I think the author fucked himself over by expanding with too many new series and other shit. Shame, because it was one of my faves up until White Night. Been reading these since i was like 12.I read the first of these, and the protagonist came off as a total fedora and trench coat "m'lady" type. I've been told that the character improves, and that the meta-story is pretty great, so I may go back to it.
It also had an AWFUL SyFy tv series adaptation. Just appalling.

On another note, my teacher(yes an arab teacher) once recommended I read Atlas Shrugged cause I spoke the best english and he thought "I was smart enough to understand it".
He was right, I was smart enough to understand it's garbage.

The biggest HP travesty was Prisoner of Azkaban winning the Hugo best (fantasy) novel award over fucking Storm Of Swords in 2000.
:what
PoA is one of the better HP books but come the fuck on.
vampire fiction is for girls and homos tbf
:gurl
I Am Legend and Salems Lot is not homo.
I don't even have any Ayn Rand books. :jawalrus
That said, We The Living shouldn't even count as owning one. It's like it's not even written by her other than the rough sex obsessed female character. It's the only one that doesn't lose its plot for diatribes.
I liked the movie of Chamber of Secrets. I started watching it like a third of the way through and it was the first thing Harry Potter I had ever seen/read. It was all this crazy mystery.
So I was kinda disappointed with the rest. Prisoner of Azkaban was alright though.
