Re: What are you reading?
 

Need some recommendations... I am going on a 15 day cruise and want to take some books with me. Right now I have Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series.

I like epic fantasy (Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, etc.), science fiction (Heinlein, Asimov, Card, Brin) fantasy (McAffery, Card, Butcher). (Basically, I read for escape and entertainment, not education.)

The catch is that any recommendations need to be available on the Kindle.

Thanks!

The Big Short. Just a so-so read, but worth it if you're looking to pass some time.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Ender's Game. Not sure if you've read it, or if it's on the Kindle, but I absolutely loved it, and I'm into about the same genres as you.

Written on The Body - Jeanette Winterson

Thanks for the response!

I have read all of the Ender books (Ender's Game was the best). I loved the series and have read most everything that Card has written.

The Sword Of Honor Trilogy by Evelyn Waugh

Re: What are you reading?
 

Reading Extreme Measures by Vince Flynn. Yet another great book so far.

Just finished The Stranger, by Camus.

For lighter reading, I love anything by Ludlum for a trip, or anything by Lawrence Block. Interesting, easy reads.

I would suggest Peter F Hamilton's Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained. Both are good scifi IMO there are two more that jump time ahead in the series and they are the Dreaming Void and the Temporal Void with a new one coming in August.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Just started Necroscope:Resurgence by Brian Lumley. Only 50 pages in or so and already getting good.

R.A Salvatore Drizzt Do'Urden series is fantastic if you like fantasy.

The morning newspaper. :D

Finished the 1st book in the Left Behind series.
It was the fastest that I have ever read a book = 3 days!
Great read!!!!

Re: What are you reading?
 

I read Mistborn recently and thought it was good. I struggled a little with the second book but the third more than made up for it. If you haven't read it yet, I'd suggest Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy (Assassin's Apprentice, Royal Assassin, and Assassin's Quest). I thought it was fantastic, my favorite series to date. I'm not sure that it meets your epic requirement because the danger is the destruction on one land, not the entire world (at least not in this series anyway).

Re: What are you reading?
 

I know some people hate this series, but I went from R.A. Salvatore to Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series. I would recommend it. Sadly, I haven;t read much fantasy since I got to college. I'd second the Drizzt series like The Dark Elf Trilogy, or The Icewind Dale Trilogy.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Maybe I used the wrong word when I said "epic" -- what I meant to say is a complex tale usually taking more than one book to complete.

Anyway, I checked out the Farseer Trilogy and have downloaded it to my Kindle. Thanks for the tip!
