GrimGrimoire 4,962 November 21, 2016 Share November 21, 2016 I loved the Belgariad the first time I read it, and quite enjoyed the Mallorean, Belgarath was okay but by the time I got to Polgara (my second time reading the entire saga) I really started to notice the amount of contradictions he was writing into the books, and it hampered my enjoyment. Detail is the key to good fantasy, and when you start making mistakes then the bubble of escapism begins to burst. If you're looking for something else, and you haven't read them already then I could strongly recommend either David Gemmell or Stephen Donaldson. Have you read some of his other series? I loved the Belgariad and the Mallorean, but enjoyed the Elenium and Tamuli even more. I have some of David Gemmell's books, I think I have all of his Drenai saga, as well as a couple of others from assorted series. I do not think I have any by Donaldson. Another really amazing series I love I will restart soon also is the Basil Broketail series by Christopher Rowley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuteycindyhoney 13,176 November 21, 2016 Share November 21, 2016 Discworld volume #1 (The Color Of Magic) Before that I finished a 2nd hand paperback entitled "Waiting For Wiliam". Actually the front cover reads: "William is dead. Four People Are... Waiting For William" Concurrently with that I was reading a sci-fi paperback where everyone dies at the end. Which was quite depressing If you stick with Discworld, you're in for a wonderful and glorious ride! Terry Pratchett is a favorite author of mine. I'll be returning to the Disc soon. Right now though, I'm reading "The Skies of Pern" Anne McCaffrey is another favorite! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hansel 1,510 December 3, 2016 Share December 3, 2016 Kind of in between books at the moment. Last one I read was The Road to Serfdom.Will probably read a book my friend wrote next, and listen to an audio reading of The Gulag Archipelago so I can do them both. I also have another Pratchett book I keep meaning to get round to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest December 23, 2016 Share December 23, 2016 Just today I finished the book The light between us: stories from heaven, lessons for the living by Laura Lynne Jackson. It was such a wonderful book, I definitely recommend it to people who'd be willing to see the universe in a different light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keri Arthur is pretty close to the same style that Hamilton is if you have not read her work I highly recommend it! I've read nearly every Laurell book including the Star Trek and Nightseer. I've gotten behind a bit so I haven't read the last couple of Anita Blake books yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to check her out when I'm done with Ender's Game and Wheel of Time series (I promised to start it a bit ago, haha, time I finally did it.)
