Hunger Games

Books are awesome , I am on the third book and can't put them down! I have read two books and half of the third in a week! Best books I have read in a long time. I have seen the commercials for the movie and it doesn't do the books justice. The commercials actually make the whole thing look cheesy , but let me tell you..... The books are awesome!

Has anyone else read them? They are getting a cult following like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter(no I am not comparing them to Lord of the Rings, they are just getting a cult following)! The first book was awesome!

My girlfriend brought home the first chapter of the first book, she got it for free from somewhere. Liked it, and we bought the first book. I'm in the middle of reading an other series though, so I'm going to finish that first

Doubt there's anyone here that's into Warhammer, but this is what I'm reading right now:

So im going on a trip to Wrestlimania in Miami this week, and i'm out of books to read, and i'm all caught up on my favorite authors.

If anyone has any recommendations for some good fantasy/sci fi series, it would be much appreciated. Need at least two books, would like something in the vein of:

1. High fantasy, similar to game of thrones/ wheel of time/ sword of truth series ect. Ive kinda run out of authors in this vein.

2. Something with a bit of action in the space exploration realm. Ive read the honor harrington series and liked them though I found them a bit dry, something with a little swashbuckling, mabey ala firefly would be awesome.

Thanks in advance Cblog, and wish me luck im rocking the Pierce 34 jersey into enemy territory 

Steven Eriksons Malazan book of the Fallen is an epic series 10 books long and each book close to 1000+ pages.

ANYTHING!!! and I mean ANYTHING!!!! written by Brandon Sanderson. Mistborn series is the best book series I have read. And Also his new epic fantasy the way of kings is a great read also.

Brent Weeks Night Angel Trilogy and Black Prism are awesome reads.

There is a book series called the Broken Well Trilogy written by Sam Bowring. Good series and you can smash at all 3 in a week or 2, and it has a very sastisfying ending and a different take on the good vs evil sterotype.

I've read weeks, loved the night angle series, though the new prism book failed to make me say "wow!" like those...going to give book two a shot once it's out though. I did love the magic system that bending light is how you "cast"

I'll grab one of the other series though, thanks!

I have indeed, and they are awesome! only one i don't have is the new one (ghost story) refuse to pay 35 bucks for a hard cover, waiting for the paperback.

Have you read his other series? (fires of caldaron) awesome books, roman legion meets lord of the rings.

Orson Scott Card has a lot of series that you might like.  Ender's Game (and that series) is his most well known, but he has quite a few that might intrigue you.  They are definitely science fiction, but are well written with a lot of character development so they aren't hokie or cheesey like star trek, star wars, etc.

I'm in a classics mode. Just finished Catcher in The Rye and have moved onto one of my all time favorites, Great Gatsby.

Yep, read those too. I recommended them to my brother as 'popcorn fantasy', where you know the good guy wins and the only important guy who dies is dumbledore.

I'm reading 50 shades of grey and man is it awful. Harry Potter is soooooooo much better

I have been given Tim Tebow's book Through my eyes.  I can't actually say it's that great. It's like the only thing he ever did that wasn't great.  Also I have bought a book called The History of the World in 100 Weapons.  I'm not sure how wise a purchase this was

For Science Fiction try the really old stuff by Hal Clement as he had a unique perspective of alien life.

For Science Fantasy try Steven Brust who has an incredible mind where he created a fantastic world. He starts his series in the middle with Taltos and then writes books that happen before and after that time. Then he writes a prequel series the establishes the world hundreds of years in the past and he writes in the style of Dumas (Three Musketeers which makes it even more unique.

For Non-Fiction how about the George Washington biography.
