[Zodiak]

It was discussed, and now it has been started.


Use this thread to list the books you love, to give others ideas on what to read next.

Also feel free to discuss the different novels/series at length, as book discussions can be fun.


Personally here is my read over and over again list.

Wheel of Time series - Robert Jordan

Sword of Truth series - Terry Goodkind

Every Star Wars novel written

Every Forgotten Realms novel written

All of Dragonlance

Everything else Weis and Hickman have written

Amazing series. I put it down when I was about half way through Song of Sussanah, and have never picked it back up and finished it.

Anyone into the old pulp fiction stuff... like Doc Savage... or how about Robert E. Howard... Conan, Kull, Valeria, etc... ?

[Zodiak]

I have read a few of the Doc Savage paperbacks. I read a few of the new Conan novels (because Robert Jordan wrote them), but never any of the originals.

Howard's writing is something else! It could almost be said that he created the swords and sorcery genre.. his writing was so good! You should check out the originals....

here is a FREE public domain edition for Kindle, if you have one. Or you can download the Kindle app on your computer, or phone, and read it there!

Red Nails... it rocks! I remember reading it for the first time in Wierd Tales magazine, back in the late 60's.... I was like 9 years old.. WOW!
