Yeah, I wasn’t looking specifically for dumb animals. Anthropomorphized, super-powered, scientifically mutated, anything, as long as it’s from their point of view, at least for majority of the writing.

Will look up A Fire Upon the Deep. Thanks for the recommendation!

Nothing wrong with liking what others don’t. I just responded cause you said you don’t get why it gets so much hate. Of course, you don’t have to agree with the reasons.

BTW I just gave you a random example from my mind cause I read it a long time ago, maybe over 20 years or so. It’s possible I don’t remember it from the book but by some mention online. There were many other complaints about his writing though, but since you like it, and I don’t even remember most of it, no point arguing over it. 😀

There are two aspects to it, one the books, and second the author. Author isn’t very likable, if you read some of his interviews you will understand. His opinion about himself, about fantasy, and general readers (and authors) of fantasy can be a bit annoying. As for the books, they sometimes have very stupid writing.

It has been a long time since I read the series, but one scene that I remember on top of my head, there was a woman (or group of them), who has to escape / pass through the whole army, so they go topless, cause then all the men in army will not be looking at their face and won’t recognize them.

There were many other things like that.

Dresden Files are great. One of my favourite series. I am going through all the books slowly, don’t want to run out of them before the next one releases. Generally read a book every month or so. Last one I read was White Night. Going to start Small Favor when I am done with my current book.

Heh, nice one.

Ahan, cool. Will see if I can find a copy at my local store.

Interesting premise, will check it out.

Thanks, will check them out!

Thanks for the input, will check them out!

I have heard a lot about The Pillars of the Earth, should get around to it some day.

Thanks for the info!

Yeah, I saw it mentioned on Wikipedia when reading about the books. Didn’t check the details though, as I was mainly interested in the books.

Thanks for the recommendation. With how much everyone seemed to like them, I think I’ll just get first couple of books and see if I like them enough to continue.

Ahan, thanks for the info. Will check out the series.

About Epic Homesteading, would love to hear if you implement any stuff from the book.

The world and the story is interesting, but for some reason I didn’t like how the book is written. Have only read the first book though, got the whole trilogy as omnibus, so will eventually get to the next two books.

I don’t like what he does with his characters. Poor characters of Joe Abercrombie’s world!

I heard about it last year. Was going to start this year. Dunno why I didn’t. I think I subscribed to it, dunno what happened.

Welcome back to reading!

BrundleFly2077 has given a good suggestion. Other thing you can do is follow these weekly thread, this is from where I am finding new stuff to read (even though I still have list of hundreds of book that I want to read). Some people just share the name, but many also mention what the books are about, or how they are liking. So, look up what you find interesting and give it a try.

The more you read, the more you will find other stuff to read.

Also, some of the YA fiction can be pretty fun. Try a few and see if you like it or not.

Or you can share some of your favourites and let people here recommend you other things you may enjoy.

I may start Deathlands soon, after this book need to find some interesting stuff that I can read quickly 😀

Just looked up Infinite, sounds pretty interesting. Keep us posted on how you like the books!

How are you liking the Bone Collector series? I have only watched the movie, but am interested to reading them some day.

Never heard of Epic Homesteading but it sounds interesting? Are you interested in doing this yourself?
