Its very interesting, but can get overly complicated and long at times.
It honestly changed my outlook on life. |

Alright, so I'm kind of wanting to try reading some other things besides fantasy as I do now.
Whats a good sci-fi book, not too weird, but a book I cant put down, also, whats would be a good mystery type book.
Let's talk books people, I wanna read some new things! |
I am reading the Terry Goodkind series. They are found in the "fantasy" section of the book store, and they include everything from war (actually the entire series is based on a huge war), romance, rape, murder, witches, dominatrix', evil mind controllers, a hero, etc.etc.
REALLY good books. I am on the 10th of the series of 13 (if you include the prequel).
They are incredibly long/large books, so it takes time to get through them, but they are DEFINITELY the kind of books you have a hard time putting down. I have spent many a night fighting off sleep trying to read them. I've woken up with the light on and the book on my chest a few times too.
Seriously, REALLY worth the investment. The first one is "Wizard's First Rule".
And it isn't a "chick" book. It was a guy who initially suggested the book to me, and since then I have talked to 4 other GUYS who are reading the series too.

Woot!
And yea, Sword of Truth, but on the books it says "TOR Fantasy". I assume you've read, or are reading them then? |

OMG, I didn't mention my favourite book of all time!!
God's Debris - A Thought Expirement by Scott Adams
If you are religious, you MAY find this offensive (if you get offended easily,) but this book is absolutely brilliant. I suggest anyone who is into philosophy, or is willing to consider things from a totally different viewpoint to read this.
In fact, I might read it a third time :D |
