[edit]
Some Books I've Read + Random Bleatings
Fiction:
- Phantom, Terry Goodkind -- WHEN WILL THE SERIES END :'< There was a bit too much rape and deprivation in this episode, even for me!
- The Eye of the World (Book One of The Wheel of Time), Robert Jordan
- The Player of Games, Iain M. Banks -- Neat sci-fi about a guy who is the best game player in the universe who ends up going to a far away planet where all of their politics is based on a game.
- Prince of the Blood, Raymond Feist -- Starts the story of the next generation of characters leading straight from the Rift War Saga series.
- The Adversary (Book 4 Saga of the Exiles), Julian May -- Last book in the series. Bit disappointing though still a good book. Considering many of the main characters had GOD like powers the ending was fairly timid compared to the second book.
- The Daimond Age, Neal Stephenson. -- Fairly neato story about an AI kids book being used to educate underprivileged orphans.
- The Sleeper Awakes, H.G. Wells. -- Pretty cool considering how long ago it was written. A guy wakes up after 200 years sleeping, to find a religion and economy has sprung up based on his image and bank account.
- The Dancers At The End Of Time (An Alien Heat, The Hollow Lands, The End Of All Songs), Michael Moorcock. -- This book is really good, it has some nice funny bits! Imagine H.G.Wells meets Douglas Adams but more subtle. 10/10 Ultima funtime points
- Exile's Return (Conclave of Shadows Book 3), Raymond E. Feist.
- King of Foxes (Conclave of Shadows Book 2), Raymond E. Feist.
- Talon of the Silver Hawk (Conclave of Shadows Book 1), Raymond E. Feist. -- Pretty good read zero to hero kind of story, going to get the next couple in the series.
- The Non Born King (Book 3 Saga of the Exiles), Julian May. -- Not quite as good as the other two im starting to struggle to finish. Still better than a lot of stuff I've read through to the end.
- Dune, Frank Herbert
- Mistress Of The Empire, Raymond E. Feist/Janny Wurtz. -- A really good end to the series worth reading if you like fantasy and/or political thrillers.
- The Golden Torc (Book 2 Saga of the Exiles), Julian May -- w007 this book is likely to have a hawt lesbian get uber psychic powers to destroy the werld!
- The Many Coloured Land (Book 1 Saga of the Exiles), Julian May
- Servant Of The Empire, Raymond E. Feist/Janny Wurtz
- Daughter Of The Empire, Raymond E. Feist/Janny Wurtz
