Looking for some new Sci/Fi or Fantasy novels.

I need to throw my hat into the A Song of Ice and Fire ring. Favorite author and favorite series. They're making an HBO series out of the books currently.

I like Wheel of Time also. I like a good long story and this does well for me. It's not in ASoIaF's class though.

David Eddings sucks. Reading Eddings makes me think I'm reading fiction written by a 14 year old. Boring, obvious and uninspiring.

f*ckin awesome. it gets better and better. i'll be interested to hear what you think.

Glad Inmicus bumped this... I finished Fall of Hyperion about two weeks ago. Great book, couldn't put it down, but was a bit disappointed with the end of the story. I can't decide if I like the change in format between the two books. I think I liked Fall better... but mainly because it had an ending whereas Hyperion was just stopped, almost mid-sentence...

Conceptually it was pretty deep. It's funny to me how much of the imagery (the All Thing and comlogs, etc.) mimics todays tech, most of which Simmons had no clue of, like cell phones and the internet.

I am going to try and get Endymion and keep reading just to see what Simmons saw as the end to all of it... overall I'm glad I read it.

I just started reading The Foundation. Old Sci FI Book, but it is very interesting.

Edit: My wife just got the kindle, it is awesome.

I agree with Salty... it's just OK. He's a book ahead of me, but what I've read so far isn't quite as good as some of the previous Star Wars series. I don't really like it that they skip authors like they do. I think there's less continuity that way.

Gave up on the continuation of the Star Wars after a while...

Harry Turtledove has some crazy stuff.

Go get A Game of Thrones by George RR Martin.

Yesterday.

They can share a thread.

Got 150+ pages into it on two different occasions and couldn't continue, Id love to curb stomp GRRM.

Again I have to ask....

When did Fantasy become a sub-genre of SiFi?

Yeah, the first 1/3rd of the first book is kind of rough, but after that its all downhill to hell.

GRRM > anyone else that writes fiction

I've combed the thread, and didn't see where anyone said this? :confused:
