Books!In STO tonight some of you were mentioning some interesting sounding books that I'd like to give a read some time.
Could I ask you to put the names here, author and title, so we can check them out. I'll put some here too, althought I expect you've read them.
Frank Herbert : Dune (and the rest of the series too if you like, but I found them quite heavy)
William Gibson : Neuromancer, Idoru & All Tomorrows Parties.
George RR Martin: "Song of Fire and Ice" series
Tad Williams: "Otherland" series
Stephen Erikson: "Malazan" Series
Terry Goodkind: "Sword of Truth" Series
James Barclay: "Raven" Series
Stan Nicholls: "Orcs"

Maria Snyder: The 'Study' series, 3 books, and the Glass series, 2 books so far. kinda like trudi canavan's stuff if you've ever read that. fantasy, magic etc. easy to read & well written imo
Peter F Hamilton: The Night's Dawn trilogy (biiiig sci-fi epic monsters of awesomeness books, get them!). Theres also the Commonwealth series followed by the Void series - read these 2 series in order though!
I'd echo Wharry's recommendations for the Otherland series by Tad Williams & the Malazan books of the Fallen by Stephen Erikson. they're all BIG books, but awesome.
There're tons more i'd say too, but those'll take you a good while to get through
Execellent thanks m8, I probably should have searched, but I'm a lazy fucker.Originally Posted by wharry
Anyone know if they still making an MMO of this? I could google but see my last post
Wouldn't have found it mate, that was back on lern2play.com before it got sold down the river.
Ah I was wondring why the forum looked a bit different. Thanks again for the link.
