My favorite series is The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan, but I cannot stop loving the Sherlock Holmes (collection) by Arthur Conan Doyle. He wrote so passionately and perfectly, with incredible humor and wit, that it isn't hard to believe why he and his work is considered so highly. Particularly, "A Study in Scarlet" is an incredible piece of literature. Part II was the most depressing and entertaining thing I have ever read, and it was so cleverly written that I couldn't put the book down.

If you guys haven't yet, read just that story at least. If you don't fall in love with the wit of Doyle and his writing and cast of characters, what book could appease you man?!

patrick rothfuss's kingkiller chronicle. even though it's not even done yet. the world building is just so interesting.
book3 ain't never comin out,lol.
but that aside, The Powder Mage trilogy by McClellan is the dopest read I've had so far, and it's 10-years later series, Sins of Empire, is even better. I nominate it for best steampunk fantasy of all time.
The Stormlight archive is beyond awesome, and with book 3 releasing in November, I can hardly wait.
The Wheel of time is still one of my top 5's
and Skullsworn, a spin-of of The Emporer's blade is awesome.

Those ones are amazing, also Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series. But my all time favorite will always be Solaris by Stanislav Lem. F%ck, that book takes SciFi to another level.

The Stranger by Albert Camus is definitely my favorite book now, but Animal Farm is pretty damn good.

Not far behind are Isaac Asimov book. Especially Fondation saga

yes, and yes! asimov made me fall in love with the Science fiction that emphasized the Science. such an admirable personality. if you haven't read his memoir, "I, Asimov", I do recommend it.

The Mists of Avalon.

I read The Once and Future King and Mary Stewart's Merlin trilogy and The Wicked Day, but my favourite book on the legend of King Author has to be The Mists of Avalon.

I love A song of Ice and Fire by George R.R Martin.
Stormlight Archive and all the mistborn books by Brandon Sanderson especially the ones with Wax and Wayne =)

But the books set in the Elderling realm by Robin Hobb will always have a special place in my heart, Assassins Apprentice, Liveship Traders, Rain wild chronicles etc. <3

    they need to have a strong line up on the launch titles too. I think they should move metroid prime 4 to the next console because by now it has been quite a while and there's no release date scheduled yet

    for $200? rofl.
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    well as far as metroid prime 4 is concerned, the next system probably is similar enough to the current gen they can probably easily just slap it onto a next gen cart and call it good :P
