For those who like the Fantasy genre, give David Eddings a try. The Belgariad and Mallorean epics are worth a read. Same goes for Redemption of Althalus.

QUOTE(Geminist @ Oct 22 2005, 10:18 AM) Oh, somehow, I can't find too much interest to read fictional books... Borrowed Da Vincci from my sis and it has been lying on my table since then... hahahahaahahahahha Da Vinci code is a decent enough book, although sometimes I find it a little far-fetched. While we're on the subject of fiction, James Patterson is also a good read. I like how he potrays every scene as a chapter, so you'd probably get up to chapter 100+ in his books, with some chapters even being just one page long.   |

QUOTE(marquis @ Nov 9 2005, 10:07 PM) Hey, Scyth3_, the Song of Ice and Fire isn't really for beginner fantasy readers. And it's not so much of fantasy than politcs actually. It's a really grim book...and if you wanna start reading fantasy, it might not be a really good idea. Not to say the book isn't good (the book is DAMN good mind you). Woot another Edding's reader. I'd recommend reading The Redemption of Althalus first to get a feel of whether you enjoy Edding's brand of sarcastic wit though. The Belgariad starts off a little slow, but picks up towards the end. The Mallorean though, was a thrill ride from the very beginning. Why not give The Belgariad and The Mallorean a try? It''s by David Eddings. The story is the traditional fight between good and evil, fulfilling one's destiny and stuff But it's a good read Or you could try the Shannara series. Although the book might get boring at the times. Try the Sword of Shannara. One of the first few fantasies I've read After you're done with the Belgariad and Mallorean, you can even get Belgarath The Sorcerer, Polgara The Sorceress and the Rivan Codex to get a further glimpse into the world of Belgariad and Mallorean.  |
