Fantasy goers.

Mistborn trilogy by brandon sanderson. Must read
way of kings also (only 1 book out but very good read). In fact the majority of Sandersons work is awesome

the first law trilogy by joe abercrombie. If you like your heroes flawed. get this book

Epic Series Malazan book of the fallen. 10 books average book size 750-800 pages (several in the series go over 1000-1200 pages)

many many more

All of this is very true. Especially Sanderson's work is just amazing. Has a couple of stand alone books too, which are worth the read aswell.

I don't watch game of thrones but I know people who watch and read them. So if you like the tv show I'd really recommend the books  :)

Paperback looks like this:



I have read a ton of anthologies, but this is by far my favorite ...   The Jaguar Hunter by Lucius Shepard, Sailing To Byzantium by Robert Silverberg, Fermi And Frost by Frederik Pohl, The Curse Of Kings by Connie Willis, and my favorite story of all-time, With Virgil Oddum At The East Pole by Harlan Ellison, (and much more) ... just an awesome book of science fiction.

If you're into Zombies etc DJ Molles' The Remaining series is a "can't put it down" level.

Also enjoying Bad Monkey by Carl Hiassen (my outdoor reading book for the summer)

Yup

I read the first book in The Remaining series, and it was REALLY easy to read, and entertaining.  The one thing that got me though was typos and grammatical errors.  It put me off enough to not finish the series, even though it was a captivating story.  Puts self-publishing in a certain light, at least in my opinion.

I'm just finishing As The Mountains Echoed by Khalid Hosseini (author of Kite Runner & A Thousand Splendid Sons) and it is amazing.
