[Meryuma]

As in novels? ASOIAF and House of Leaves probably. Shoutouts to The Phantom Tollbooth and Perdido Street Station.

My fav nonfiction book would be 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus.

[Conoga]

I like terrible transgressive stuff like Bret Easton Ellis and Palahniuk.

[Seaxlande]

H.P Lovecraft, Nietzsche, Sun Tzu, Wilhelm Braune, George Orwell, and Erwin Rommel.

[Finland SSR]

Sun Tzu,

Sadly, likely fictional.

[Jute]

Sun Tzu,

Sadly, likely fictional.

In what way? The author used a pseudonym, or written later in a different place than claimed?

[The Krogan]

My favorite authors are Brent Weeks, Joe Abercrombie, and the various authors of Warhammer 40k.

[Nomete]

There is a really good series called Wereworld. I highly recommend it.

[Lang Choi]

I saw it in a store once, it looked rather generic.

[Olwe]

Aaron Allston, Clive Barker, David Eddings, Stephen King, Terry Goodkind, H.P. Lovecraft, J.R.R. Tolkien, Matthew Stover and Joe Schreiber are the best authors I've read so far.

[Bearon]

Does anybody want to make a Percy Jackson thread?

[Australian Antarctica]

Larry Bond, Tom Clancy, Max Barry(Not just because of the game), and George Orwell

[Conoga]

Why isn't there a Maxx Barry thread on the front page of A&F at all times?

[Princia Isles]

I just started Jennifer Government earlier this week.

I've only ever read his more recent stuff, is it any good?

[Imperial Esplanade]

Tolkien is a favorite of mine, as is Chesterton.

If anyone wants an underrated sports novel to read, check out 'Season of Life' by Jeffrey Marx.

[Stellonia]

Anything engaging. I am also partial towards the works of Robert Louis Stevenson.

[Republiqum]

I'm probably not the one to say it because I'm not a reader but if I won't take anyone who says Nietzsche seriously.

[Republiqum]

Forget the "if" in my post

[Conoga]

Forget the "if" in my post

In the top right of a post's box (?) there's an edit button next to the quote button so you can remove the ''if'' even after you've submitted the post.
It should also probably be recites instead of says. I'm not sure. It's a confusing sentence

I like Terry Pratchett (basically read all of the Discworld books aside from the newest and last one read all of his other work as well except the last collaboration with Steven Baxter It's sitting on my shelf staring at me now), HG Wells, Isaac Asimov, Frank Herbet and Peter F Hamilton If you like non depressing Sci Fi I'd give Hamilton a read. He manages to not paint the Human race as ass holes when comparing them to aliens as well which is nice.

I've always imagined that if aliens exist, their race has its fair share of assholes as well... that's how I'm writing my sci-fi universe. There are nice people in every sentient species, but plenty of assholes to go around too.

I read a really good short story by Terry Pratchett that made me really want to get into Discworld, but its size is quite daunting and I don't know where to start? What's the name of the first book?

The Colour of Magic and the Light Fantastic are the first two books but they aren't necessarily the place to start. I'd suggest maybe Equal Rites or Moving Pictures both are fairly early books but are more stereotypical of most of the other books than the first two are.

Thanks. I'll try and track those down next time I'm at the bookstore.
