Help Me Find Some Books Please!

There's Ben Bova, Orson Scott Card and for really easy reads try Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine as well as Asimov's Mag and Science Fiction and Fact magazine. Short stories are often good and easy reads that focus on one thing that the story is based on. Enjoy! And don't forget to write as well!!

Thanks to everyone who reccommended the Robin Hobb books, I'm almost at the end of the Farseer trilogy and have really enjoyed them - don't know quite why, I suppose they're just good stories, with likeable characters. Is there anything else of hers I should try?

Did you just read the 3 Farseer books? If so, there the Ship trilogy which takes place in the same world, with different characters, followed by the Fool's trilogy, which goes back to the original characters. List as follows:

Ship of Magic
Mad Ship
Ship of Destiny

Fool's Errand
Golden Fool
Fool's Fate

Happy reading

Thanks for that - something to look forward to. I like the sound of the Ship books, I love anything seafaring (like the Patrick O'Brien adventures). Have just started A Game of Thrones by George RR Martin, again as reccommended on this forum, and so far I'm really enjoying it.

<I wish fantasy could be a little funnier >

You could try Mary Gentile's "Grunts" some black humour there as well as a good read, but that is a matter of opinion.

Sara Douglass Wayfarer Redemption Series is good... a little dark but not horribly so.
