\nI was sending a list of sci-fi and fantasy books that I have read to someone, and thought I’d dump it here as well. It’s by no means everything I’ve ready, but some of the big series.\n<\/p>\n
\nDragon Prince
\nhttp:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/detail\/-\/0886774500<\/a>
\nThe Star Scroll
\nhttp:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/detail\/-\/0886773490
\nSun-Runner’s Fire
\nhttp:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/detail\/-\/0886774039<\/p>\n
Other things that may be good:<\/p>\n
All the Ender books, including the newest:
\nhttp:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/detail\/-\/0312857586<\/p>\n
Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time (as we were talking about).
\nhttp:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/browse\/-\/408712<\/p>\n
Everything in the Belgariad and Malloreon:
\nhttp:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/listmania\/list-browse\/-\/28896JPBM3K8S<\/p>\n
Terry Goodkind’s Sword of Truth, which are pretty heavy, but good:
\nhttp:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/browse\/-\/408716<\/p>\n
The main Dragonlance books:
\nhttp:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/guides\/guide-display\/-\/3GKV809NNU2I8<\/p>\n
The various Dark Elf books by R.A. Salvatore are good, but violent:
\nhttp:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/guides\/guide-display\/-\/1HDA8ZQ5CY8NN<\/p>\n
The “Honorverse” books by David Weber are really good, but a bit
\nheavy on the made-up-science:
\nhttp:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/listmania\/list-browse\/-\/11FKI8TAGWYHS<\/p>\n
Everything on this list is really good. It includes Asimov’s
\nFoundation books, and Arthur C Clarke’s Rama books:
\nhttp:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/guides\/guide-display\/-\/37ZKU1XR1898B<\/p>\n
The Order War, by L. E. Modesitt Jr are good, but very repetitive
\nafter the first 5 or 6. The back-story does build with each book, but
\nits the same plot again and again. If you like the plot, that’s fine,
\nthere’s 13 of them to read. If not, you’ll never read more than one.
\nhttp:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/listmania\/list-browse\/-\/22XHK89AUQ7R7\/<\/p>\n
Anne Mccaffry’s Dragonriders of Pern books are good reasonably light
\nfantasy:
\nhttp:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/listmania\/list-browse\/-\/191IODV23QVIX<\/p>\n
Someone may like George Martin’s “A song of ice and fire” although I
\ncouldn’t get into them at all:
\nhttp:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/browse\/-\/15583<\/p>\n
Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy. I could never get into
\nthese either, but they’re supposed to be good:
\nhttp:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/detail\/-\/0440238609<\/p>\n
That’s more than a start. It’s what, 100 books? \ud83d\ude42 If you buy
\nanything, I’d definitely try to get everything in a series at the
\nsame time. At least within each set. For instance, the Belgariad is 5
\nbooks, and the Malloreon is another 5 books. The Dragonlance books
\nare a half dozen trilogies (and a couple pairs), etc. There’s
\nnothing I hate more than reading a book or two in a series and not
\nbeing able to get the rest. Or worse, reading something in the middle
\nof a series.<\/p>\n
Oh, another place you may point people who have a computer at home:
\nhttp:\/\/www.baen.com\/library
\nThis is a free library of books ( some of which I listed above ) that
\ncan be read online or downloaded to read later. The Belisarius series
\nhas several books included there, by David Drake and Eric Flint.
\nThey’re pretty good, easy reads, but quite violent. It’s a (very)
\nalternative history of Roman times. Book six is due out soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
