Archaneus Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 I know a lot of you people have read these books and don't agree with me but I suggest reading the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. Also, it is surprising how many people haven't read the Lord of the Rings series. Don't judge teh books by the movies, the movies aren't nearly as good as teh books. I don't have an excert, but nonetheless I still say read them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasmandre Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Hm, I actually liked the movies (well, movie, I've yet to see The Two Towers) more than I did the books. But that's just me. I'll second the recomendation of the Wheel of Time. It's a great series and I'm impatiently waiting for the next installment. Also, I'd suggest the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. It's different than a lot of his other work and really out there. The first four books are being re-released in June (I think the first is also being revised a little, not sure how I feel about that) and the last three are coming out in the next two years. The end of an era, really. For anyone interested in horror, I'd recommend anything by Richard Laymon. He's written some seriously twisted stuff. I've read nothing like it.
